Firearm dealers can process transactions and centralize payments from all retail channels, including their gun store, events, eCommerce and range

Staten Island, NY – Celerant Technology, a leading provider of retail software for the firearms industry, today announced a partnership with Fortis (Formerly BLUEDOG), a leading payment and commerce technology provider. By integrating Celerant’s point of sale and eCommerce software with Fortis, dealers can accept all major forms of payment, centralize sales and customer data from all channels, and process transactions quickly and securely with competitive pricing and no hidden fees. Dealers can also process firearm sales, and ensure compliance through Celerant’s integrated digital bound book.

“Celerant has supported the retail industry for many years, and our partnership is a natural fit,” stated Greg Cohen, Chairman and CEO at Fortis. “In today’s world, merchants really need to provide the flexibility, speed and security their customers demand. Celerant provides all the right tools that retailers need, and we believe integrating our commerce payments platform with their software is exactly what clients need to be even more competitive in the new year.”

Celerant’s all-in-one retail software enables dealers to manage their gun store, shooting range, mobile events, and online sales- all in a single place. By integrating with Fortis, dealers can have payments easily accepted and processed directly with next-day funding- making reconciliation quick and seamless.

Fortis’ proprietary, omnichannel platform, together with Celerant, is easy to setup, and delivers a secure and reliable commerce experience to all customers- no matter how they pay- and offers tools to help dealers drive business optimization, reduce chargebacks and increase revenue.
