Bravo Update ATF compliance.

Bravo Update ATF compliance

One of Bravo’s key features is its complete administrative and management for firearms.  Bravo’s efficient processes assists store operators complete compliance with minimal effort.  Great News for firearms dealers.

This has been an extraordinary experience.

We decided to introduce Bravo to the ATF offices for a non-official review. 

As one of the prerequisites business owners are obliged to file a variance to use software to assist in the management and record keeping for ATF licensees.  The feedback to software vendors then comes through the businesses second hand.  In order for our customers to avoid this, we decided to make the first move.  A visit with ATF.

We met with a 25 year veteran compliance officer and a senior officer of the ATF.  “ We always said this would be nice if someone could provide this information to us”  This was said with reference in accordance to what the ATF is permitted to see.  “ This would make our jobs easier and our audits more efficient, the store operator should like this”.  More efficient for the ATF means less work for store owners.  Music to my ears, needless to say.

Of course there was one caveat.  My heart started to pound, here comes the F-bomb.  “ We need to see this report, as shown in our regulations, exactly this way “.  Done in 2 weeks (example included) !

After 45 minutes showing the live version of Bravo in their spooky offices.  Which was pretty cool on  many levels.  One of the officers offered to organize a visit to Washington D.C. to meet with the top brass of ATF and show them this system.

Off to Washington D.C. we go.
