ATF Compliance for FFL Dealers
60,000+ small and mid-size FFL holders face ATF inspections with limited preparation tools. Vectis runs your bound book and 4473 records through AI before the inspector arrives — flagging every violation before they do.
The problem
ATF inspections can result in warning letters, license revocations, or worse. The vast majority of violations are clerical — missing entries in the acquisition/disposition book, incomplete 4473 forms, discrepancies between physical inventory and records. These are exactly the kinds of errors that AI catches reliably. But most compliance vendors and AI firms self-exclude from the firearms market entirely. Vectis doesn't.
What we offer
Pre-inspection AI audit
We run your bound book (A&D records) and Form 4473 records through AI analysis. Every discrepancy, missing entry, and form error is flagged with specific remediation instructions.
Ongoing compliance monitoring
Monthly subscription for continuous record monitoring. AI scans new entries, catches errors in near-real-time, and generates exception reports.
AI governance framework
Vectis deploys its standard AI Governance package with minimal customization for FFL operations. Includes acceptable use policies, data handling protocols, and audit trails.
Inspection preparation support
When you receive ATF inspection notice, we run a rapid audit and provide a prioritized remediation checklist. Walk into the inspection with clean records.
