HARTFORD, CT (October 26, 2022) – Orchid, the leader in FFL technology, payment processing, and compliance services, is proud to provide small to medium-sized (SMB) firearm businesses with a direct integration between Fishbowl ERP and Orchid eBound. Designed initially for RETAY USA, a leading distributor of shotguns, Orchid and the expert technologists from Sharpe Concepts expanded Fishbowl’s ERP capability to integrate with a best-in-class ATF solution.

“The solution provides a low-cost entry point for firearm manufacturers and distributors who need fundamental technology to purchase and manage inventory, control business operations, and fulfill customer orders,” said Orchid CEO, Jon Rydberg. “Chris Handy, CEO of RETAY USA, and Sal Cucinella, CEO of Sharpe Concepts, have been great partners. Collectively, we’re happy to bring operations and compliance technology to a targeted segment of the firearms industry.”

As part of the integration, the combined team of Orchid and Sharpe Concepts will provide SMB firearm owners with an introductory assessment of their serialized operations, data conversion, legacy ATF Bound Book migration, user training, and change management services. Within the application, users will enjoy:

• Item, Vendor, and Part Master configurations that accommodate requirements of an ATF Ruling 2021R-05 compliant bound book
• Core serialized inventory transactions, such as serialize, receive, transfer, assembly/disassembly, and destroy for both GCA and NFA firearm types
• Inventory purchasing, inventory management, order taking and fulfillment
• Capability to import and export firearm components and finished goods

“We’ve been a partner to Orchid and Sharpe Concepts, as well as a long-time user of Fishbowl,” said Handy. “The enhanced application allowed us to simplify our data entry and significantly improve our ATF compliance by upgrading to a stronger and fully compliant Bound Book solution. To support this launch, the team at Orchid and Sharpe Concepts are providing all RETAY USA customers with 10% off the Fishbowl integration, Orchid eBound, and, for retailers, the Orchid POS/eCommerce Suite.”

Optional services include operational firearm process design, compliance program development, and custom ERP programming related to FFL/SOT validity, NFA Form 2 filing notification, and Form 3, 4, 5 and 9 shipping controls. The partners also boast the ability to further modernize FFL manufacturing operations with the Orchid eSerial integration for Coherent, Rofin, Trumpf, ProLase, Jimani, and HaaS engraving as well as Orchid eStorage and Orchid IM for enhanced document storage and inventory management.
