An electronic bound book you can find things in.
ForgeBound is an electronic acquisition and disposition book designed around 27 CFR 478 recordkeeping. It keeps your entries organized, searchable, and backed up, so you spend less time hunting through records and more time running the shop.
What's in it
-
Acquisition & disposition entries
Record acquisitions and dispositions in a structured electronic book instead of paper pages, with the fields organized around 27 CFR 478 recordkeeping.
-
Search and lookup
Find a record by serial number, manufacturer, model, or date without flipping through binders.
-
Corrections with history
Changes are tracked rather than overwritten, so you can see what an entry said before and who changed it.
-
Recovery backups
Regular backups and exports so a failed computer or lost device doesn't mean lost records.
-
Inspection readiness
Reports and checks that help you review open items and gaps before an inspection, rather than discovering them during one.
-
Connected to inventory
Items received through ForgeFront can be queued for entry, cutting down on re-keying serial numbers by hand.
A tool, not a guarantee
ForgeBound is designed to support good recordkeeping habits. It does not replace your own review of your records, your knowledge of the regulations that apply to your license, or advice from counsel when you need it.
Before moving to any electronic bound book, check current federal guidance on electronic records and confirm the setup works for your license.
The responsibility for accurate, complete records stays with the licensee. We build the software to make that work easier and more organized, and we're straightforward about what it does and doesn't do.
