Pawn 1 Case Study

Pawn 1 is a leading multi-store pawnshop chain with a clear vision for growth and innovation. When leadership recognized the need for a robust, scalable technology partner to support their ambitious expansion strategy, they turned to Bravo Point of Sale—a system built for visionary retailers who refuse to compromise between growth and operational excellence.

"At Pawn 1, we've always had a clear vision for growth and innovation in the pawn industry," says Pawn 1's leadership. "Our partnership with Bravo has been instrumental in bringing that vision to life. Bravo's software provides the robust, scalable technology we need to execute our strategies effectively."

The Challenge

Before implementing Bravo, Pawn 1 faced critical limitations that threatened their expansion plans. Their existing system couldn't support their three strategic objectives:

• Improving operational efficiency across all 26 store locations
• Expanding into eCommerce and mobile markets
• Increasing revenue and profitability across the chain

With 26 locations to coordinate, they needed a system that could scale seamlessly while delivering consistent results.

The Solution

Pawn 1 implemented Bravo Point of Sale across all 26 store locations, leveraging the platform's comprehensive capabilities including automated eCommerce integration and MobilePawn functionality. The implementation focused on fast and accurate data migration, comprehensive staff training, and customization tailored to Pawn 1's specific pawnshop operations.

The Results

The impact was transformative. Within two years of implementation:

• ‍50% increase in total revenue
• ‍45% increase in total sales profit
• ‍100% of stores with positive growth in both revenue and sales profit
• One top-performing store saw 125% revenue growth

"What impressed me most was the consistency of growth across all our locations," Pawn 1's leadership reflects. "This wasn't a one-off coincidence. This uniformity speaks volumes about the scalability and effectiveness of the Bravo system."

Revolutionizing Loan Operations

Bravo fundamentally transformed Pawn 1's lending business with remarkable efficiency gains:

• ‍54% increase in new loans
• ‍57% increase in loan interest revenue
• ‍68% improvement in loan yield

"The efficiency gains in our loan operations have been nothing short of remarkable," the leadership team notes. "Bravo has enabled us to process loans faster, more accurately, and more profitably than ever before."

Expanding Beyond Four Walls

Pawn 1's ambitious eCommerce strategy became a competitive advantage with Bravo's integrated capabilities:

• ‍158% growth in total eCommerce sales
• ‍6 out of 8 eCommerce channels showing over 100% growth
• Successful execution of an omni-channel strategy

"Expanding our online presence was a key part of our growth strategy," leadership explains. "Bravo Point of Sale's integrated eCommerce capabilities have been crucial in helping us execute this vision, enabling us to establish and grow our online presence across multiple channels."

Mobile: The Game-Changer

MobilePawn emerged as a strategic weapon in Pawn 1's growth arsenal:

• ‍281% increase in MobilePawn payments
• ‍228% increase in MobilePawn customers
• ‍30%+ of company payment volume by year two

"Driving growth by offering convenience to our customers and improving the customer experience through mobile technology was one of our strategic priorities," leadership states. "Bravo's MobilePawn feature allowed us to engage with customers in a new way, while significantly impacting our bottom line results across the company."
