Point of Sale for Pawnbrokers | Bravo Store Systems
POS for Pawnbrokers
Built for the Counter. Built for Pawn.
You're not a coffee shop. You're not a clothing store. You're running loans, buys, sales, layaways, renewals, and forfeitures — sometimes all in the same transaction. Your POS should understand that.
Bravo is the only point of sale built specifically for pawnbrokers. Loan lifecycle management, AI-powered item estimation, real-time inventory, integrated eCommerce, automated compliance, and mobile apps — all in one system. No bolt-ons. No workarounds.
Built by five generations of pawnbrokers. Trusted by thousands of stores.
Every workflow is designed for how pawn shops actually operate — loans, buys, sales, renewals, layaways, and forfeitures — all from one screen.
Full Loan Lifecycle
New loans, renewals, extensions, partial payments, redemptions, forfeitures — all managed from one screen. Never leave the transaction to complete a loan operation.
Multi-Transaction Processing
A customer wants to pawn two items, buy a TV, and renew an existing loan. Handle all of it in one transaction. Seconds, not minutes. One receipt.
Complete Customer Profiles
Every customer's full history — loans, buys, sales, layaways, payments, contact info — across all channels and all locations. One profile. Complete picture.
Real-Time Inventory
Every item tracked from the moment it crosses your counter. Age, category, location, status, condition, cost, and price — updated live across in-store and online channels.
Employee Task Manager
Every employee sees what needs to get done — overdue layaways, loans to expire, items to price, inventory to move. No more items falling through the cracks.
Built-In Compliance
State regulations, hold periods, reporting requirements, ID verification, firearms compliance — all configured per store and enforced automatically. Zero guesswork for staff.
Only in Bravo
The Product Estimator. Your Best Employee's Brain — Cloned.
Someone walks in with an item your newest employee has never seen. With any other POS, they Google it, guess, or call you. With Bravo, the Estimator guides them through the entire evaluation — identifying the product, assessing condition, and recommending a price based on real specialty retail transaction data.
Jewelry Estimator handles gold, diamonds, stones, and lab-grown — with metal weight calculation, stone deduction, and melt value built in. With gold prices climbing, accurate precious metal evaluation isn't optional.

AI-Powered Pricing
Lend More. Pay Less. Make More.
Your loan margins live and die on accurate pricing. Overpay on a buy, and you lose margin. Undervalue a loan, and the customer walks to the shop down the street.
The Estimator gives every employee — even the one who started last week — the ability to price like a 20-year veteran. It's powered by millions of real pawn and specialty retail transactions, not generic web data. Your rules. Your profit margins. Your competitive advantage.
No other POS in the industry offers this. It's the single biggest reason stores switch to Bravo.
Grow Revenue
More Loans. More Sales. More Channels.
Bravo doesn't just manage your pawn shop. It gives you tools to grow it — through mobile payments, automated marketing, eCommerce, and new revenue streams.
Mobile
MobilePawn App
Customers pay loans and layaways from their phone. Browse your inventory. Initiate loans from home. Chat with your staff. Automatic SMS payment reminders keep loans active and revenue flowing. Your store in their pocket.
eCommerce
Sell on 4+ Channels
List inventory on Buya, UsedGuns.com, eBay, and your own branded website — all from one click in Bravo. Item sells in-store? Automatically delisted online. No manual tracking. No double sales. Lowest fees in the industry.
Marketing
Automated Text & Reviews
Loan reminders, layaway alerts, flash sale promotions, review requests — sent automatically from your POS. 98% open rate. No third-party tools. No manual work. Your customer list, working for you every day.
New Revenue
Protection Plans & Consignment
Like warranties, protection plans create incremental revenue and give customers peace of mind. Consignment tracking lets you expand inventory without tying up cash — consignor payouts, split payments, and performance tracked automatically.
Why Pawnbrokers Switch
More Than Software. A Partner Who Knows Pawn.
Bravo wasn't built by a tech company that decided to try pawn. It was built by a family that grew up in the pawn industry — five generations of small business owners who lived the long days, worked the counter, and competed against bigger players with deeper pockets.
When technology failed us, we built our own. That's why Bravo understands things other POS providers don't — like why the speed of a renewal matters, why compliance can't be an afterthought, and why your newest hire needs to price like your best employee.
26% Loan Growth in Year One
Better pricing, automated reminders, mobile payments, and smarter lending tools add up. Customers borrow more, renew more, and forfeit less.
41% Sales Growth
Integrated eCommerce, AI pricing, and automated marketing consistently outperform previous numbers — often within the first few months.
Employees Productive in Days
Built-in guides, the Estimator, and task management mean even the newest hire contributes immediately. No weeks of training. No uncertainty at the counter.
Multi-Location Ready
Central dashboard, cross-store inventory transfers, shared customers, consolidated reporting. Your second store runs on the same system as your first.
"Our swinging door profit margin has increased because I really see employees looking at the estimator and making educated decisions on purchases and loans. All of our employees can write loans twice as fast now because of the estimator."

How we ensure accuracy in your data conversion
All data is mapped, reconciled, and QA-verified before go-live. Your legacy system remains read-only for reference.
How do I pick a pawn point of sale?
Every other pawn software competes on price as the cheaper alternative. Look beyond the price. The right pawn point of sale should be a stable company with no single point of failure employees. The right pawn point of sale should be easy to learn and easy to use. It should be an investment in your success and not simply a cost that you absorb with no return. If software doesn’t clearly improve profit per ticket or save you time and effort, it’s just an expense—not an investment.
What states is Bravo in?
Bravo has customers in all 50 states.
What countries does Bravo support?
Bravo has customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.
Can I sell online without shipping everything?
Yes. Bravo lets you sell online with in-store pickup only, so you get online visibility without the hassle of shipping. You can list items online, drive foot traffic to your store, and add shipping later if and when it makes sense.
Who owns my data?
You do. Your data is yours. Period. Bravo never claims ownership of your customer or transaction data, and it’s accessible and portable if you ever need it. We export into 10 file formats including .xcl and .csv.
How much is Bravo?
Bravo Core starts at just $55 monthly. We believe in building a custom package for every customer so that you are not overpaying for features you’ll never use. Every pawnshop is different and all-inclusive packages are expensive and not tailored to your uniqueness.
What is included with Bravo?
Bravo Core comes with everything you need to run your pawnshop plus features that you won’t find anywhere else. Bravo Core includes A&D book, Buys, the Estimator, the Jewelry Estimator, Layaways, Multi-transaction Processing, OFAC-SDN, Pawns, Police Exporting, Scrap and Jewelry Refining, Store Credits, Gift Cards, Regulatory Setup and Configuration, and Unlimited Employees. Plus, exclusive features like the Estimator, AI Predictive Pricing, the Task Manager, Ad Hoc Reporting, and the Bravo Product Catalog. We also integrate with fingerprint scanners, signature pads, and digital scales.
How does Bravo make me more money?
Bravo helps standardize pricing, increase transactions per hour, reduce missed renewals and abandoned layaways, and sell inventory online without adding labor—small gains that add up across every ticket. On average, stores see about $7 more per loan ticket, resulting in more money on the street and higher PSC over time.
What is the return on investment for Bravo?
Bravo delivers ROI by helping pawn shops process more tickets, price items more consistently, and save hours of manual work each week.
Most stores see returns through higher profit per ticket, fewer pricing mistakes, faster counter transactions, and less time spent on reports, rework, and compliance tasks.
In short, Bravo is designed to pay for itself through efficiency and better decisions, not just replace your POS.
How do I switch to Bravo?
We handle the switch for you—from data conversion to go-live planning—so your store keeps running. Your team starts with familiar processes, and most shops go live with no expected interruption.
Does Bravo support small mom-and-pop stores?
Yes. Bravo is built for small, owner-operated pawn shops just as much as larger operations. Single-store shops get simple setup, easy-to-learn workflows, and tools that save time at the counter—without unnecessary complexity. As your business grows, Bravo grows with you, so you don’t have to switch systems later.
Can Bravo handle multiple locations?
Yes. Bravo is built to support single stores through multi-location pawn operations. You get chain-level visibility with location-specific controls — including shared customers, consistent pricing rules, centralized reporting, and role-based permissions. Managers can oversee performance across stores while each location operates independently day to day. As you grow, Bravo scales with you — no separate systems, no bolt-ons, no replatforming.
Is Bravo a long-term partner or just software?
Bravo was built to be more than a POS. We don’t succeed unless our customers succeed. That’s why we focus on things that actually matter to pawn shops: higher profit per ticket, smoother operations, better compliance, and real support when you need it. We’ve been in the pawn industry for over a decade, and everything we build is designed to help stores grow, stay compliant, and run more profitably over the long haul. From ongoing product development to hands-on onboarding and support, Bravo is here to be a true partner in your business — not just another piece of software you install and hope for the best. When you choose Bravo, you’re choosing a platform and a team that’s invested in your success, today and years from now.
