Faster Bound Book Searches & Smarter 4473 Tools – March 2025 Updates

Another round of FastBound updates is now live, continuing our commitment to constant improvement—unlike most FFL software that rarely updates (or tells you when they do). These updates are 100% made in America—developed, tested, and hosted entirely in the USA. And like always, every improvement is included at no extra cost.

Bound Book Updates

  • Improved Speed We’ve improved how paging works in bound book generation, which significantly improves performance, especially for FFLs with large bound books with millions of entries.
  • Streamlined Indexing for Better Reliability Old indexes were retired and replaced with optimized ones. This helps ensure faster, more reliable searches and reporting in your bound book.
  • Improved Date Comparisons Cleaned up how date fields are handled behind the scenes to avoid mismatches between formats, making record-keeping more accurate and predictable.

Inventory Tools

  • More Precise Item Searches Automatically trim unnecessary spaces from serial numbers and other fields—eliminating frustration when looking for inventory that’s already in your system.

These updates are already live and ready to go—no surprise fees, no waiting. And if you ever need help, our 100% US-based support team usually replies within minutes during business hours. Just another way we’re quietly doing the work that keeps FFLs compliant and confident.
