Pawn shops dates back over 3,000 years and their business model remains largely unchanged: A customer using a personal possession as collateral in need of some cash, gets a loan from the pawnbroker. The pawn shop negotiates with the customer, once they agree, the pawnbroker then holds the property for a predetermined amount of time, charging interest on the loan. If the customer can pay his debt before the deadline, he gets his property back. If not, the pawn shop is able to resell it. The software a pawnbroker chooses to run his shop will be critical to their success. There are many factors that can go into determining which pawnbroker software to use: easy of use, security features, integration with 3rd party software, and reporting just to name a few.
