    Best decision in a while

    Date: Jun 05 2021
    Summary

    Get rid of the paper boundbook and free up your time, and add peace of mind that things are done 'right'

    Positive

    Definitely was a skeptic in the very beginning, but now that I have been using it for a few months it is the best thing I have done for my time and peace of mind in the 3 years I've been in business. Data entry time is cut by 75% if not more.

    Negative

    I'd like to be able to see 100 entries by default, and I'd like to delete manufacturers from my drop down list.

    Date: Jun 07 2021
    Summary

    Have had zero issues so far, contact with support has been outstanding. Have always received a quick response to questions.

    Positive

    So far everything from customer service and response time to the efficient program structure. Multiple firearms forms filled in quickly.

    Negative

    I haven't had any issues yet. Pricing was my only concern.

    Simple to use program

    Date: Jun 08 2021
    Summary

    I have used ARS, Command, Status, and Bizflo through the years. This program is not over complicated. Every feature that I can click on works the way it should. The price is not bad either.

    Positive

    Everything works as it should. Its fast and easy to use. The interface is very intuitive and the receipt print out has all the important information on it.

    Negative

    I wish that there was a box that reminded me to change the serial number on an item that I manufactured from an existing item. I have to go into it manually each time and change the serial after the item is made in the system. I would also like to see some improvements on the interface for making labels. It would be nice if it would link to quickbooks for inventory purposes.

    The best thing since the 2 Amendment

    Date: Jun 07 2021
    Summary

    The very best decision I made in the past 7 years of being in the firearms business. I am saving a salary for an auditor. I am confident that my paperwork is accurate and complete at the end of each transaction. Additionally, I never miss a Re-Cert date and signature. You need to subscribe to FastBound.

    Positive

    Complete, easy to use, intuitive. Easy to install. Great Customer Service. I see any reason not to buy FastBound. I have referred many of my friendly FFL's.

    Negative

    I am going to nitpick. Cant tab and enter on the current date. Would like it to automatically insert TTSN instead of having to request it.

    Great Product at a Great Price

    Date: May 18 2021
    Summary

    I find Fastbound provides all the features I need to keep my business operating and ensures that my documentation is complete and properly prepared. It is a great product for a great price!

    Positive

    This product replaced another program which didn't provide any support after paying for renewal. It was server based and after my server crashed, I was unable to get support to get it working in a client server environment. I chose Fastbound because it allowed me to continue to service my customers during the pandemic by allowing my customers to complete their 4473 online via my Ipad while entering information at my outdoor patio. I loved being able to go directly into ATF Echeck and obtain approval within the program. I love completing the 4473 digitally with signatures and simply printing out the final product. Also, I love the bound book feature and online help from the developers of Fastbound is 1st rate and quick.

    Negative

    I don't have any issues or negative comments about Fastbound.

    FastBound gives us piece of mind!

    Date: May 26 2021
    Summary

    We went from paper books to FastBound and we love it! You can store so much more information in FastBound so much easier than you can in paper books. We don't have to struggle to find and research information. Transmitting multiple sale reports and making sure they're filled out correctly went from an ominous task to a few simple clicks. there are so many interfaces available for so many other industry products it's amazing!

    Positive

    User friendly interface that just makes sense. Keeps us compliant. Makes past transaction lookup a breeze. All the information you need is right where you need it.

    Negative

    There is absolutely nothing I don't like about this software.

    Bobby Hooks Review

    Date: Jun 06 2021
    Summary

    Extremely pleased with this software to meet our book bound and inventory needs. I would highly recommend this to other potential customers.

    I would also recommend setting up a user group that could make recommendations to nice future feature updates.

    Positive

    Startup ease.
    Low cost software.
    Good application navigation.
    Reporting extract setup using Swagger.
    Very quick to support questions when we started. The application is designed extremely well we only had two questions we posted and the answers were addressed immediately.
    Good cycle counting/inventory verification.

    Negative

    There is no option to having user defined fields. I would like to have the option of having fields in the system that we can use specific to our business operation. For example tagging a Gunbroker number to an item we have for sale in Gunbroker.

    It would be nice to have non-book bound items feature to use this system for item inventory and look up needs.
