Researched and written by Emma Stein

Armory management software (also referred to as quartermaster software) helps police forces and military branches to secure their weapons and equipment, simplifying check-in and check-out operations for all inventory. These solutions communicate with radio-frequency identification (RFID) or barcode technology to authenticate personnel and manage tagged inventory digitally, creating a secure database that monitors who uses equipment and when. Daily reporting features of the armory management software simplify auditing processes to track all assigned equipment as well as to identify necessary equipment maintenance. Armory managers use these tools to improve equipment flow, reduce inventory discrepancies, and ensure chain of custody so that authorized officials access the proper equipment.

Armory management solutions are customizable to fit the regulations and needs of each armory. Hardware components often include a fixed unit set-up, a mobile unit with touch screen tablet, and an equipment tag to scan all inventory into the database. Advanced systems can set predetermined equipment assignments depending on personnel tasks, expediting check-out while preventing misuse of equipment. Armory management software shares features with evidence management software that is optimized for physical evidence and some police records management systems (RMS) may offer modules to manage armory inventory. However, a devoted armory management solution is designed and configured to meet all security regulations that police and military officials need to adhere to when managing their weapons, ammunition, and equipment.

To qualify for inclusion in the Armory Management category, a product must:

Utilize RFID technology or barcode scanning for inventory management
Provide standard and customizable reports for inventory audit
Allow maintenance schedules and inspection requirements to be established for equipment
