Days, Not Months
Have you ever gone through an operational system replacement, switching from an outdated system to a new state of the art system? How smooth did it go? Were there any obstacles that prevented a smooth “go-live”? If so, what were your biggest obstacles to a successful “go live”?
Was it the time it took a consultant to configure the system? Was it splitting your time in half, half running your business and the half answering questions from the consultant? Was it converting data out of your old system into your new system?
When the new system was finally configured, you, along with the consultant, should have had to do “user accepting testing” where you symbolically kick the tires and check under the hood by testing the system to ensure that it can do what it’s supposed to do. Did you do that, and if so, was any configuration issue surface? When you finally went “live”, did you hit your targeted “go live” date? From the start of the implementation until “go-live”, how long did it take? Was it weeks? Months?
As Federal Firearms Licensees, we work in a highly regulated environment. That means our processes are standardized and constant. We all have to purchase firearms, record serial numbers, complete 4473s, run background checks, sell firearms, and record ins and outs in the A&D book. Every one of use has to run our businesses in the exact same workflow, whether you run a small mom and pop gun store, or you run a multi-location enterprise.
So why should switching to a new system take a long time to configure and test? With FFLAssist, it doesn’t. If you don’t want any data converted from your old system to your new system, FFLAssist can be up and running in 1-3 days. That’s right! One to three days. How can we make this bold claim? Because FFLAssist contains proprietary configuration routines to set up your system for you automatically. Every new dealer starts with the identical standard and constant compliance configuration. No other gun dealer system does that! That means we can scale this platform quickly and uniformly.
Here is the time line of how this is done:
- Day 1 – After you sign up, the FFLAssist team provisions your new system, after which we turn control over to you.
- Day 2 – We train you and your staff on the standardized regulatory tasks identified above.
- Day 3 – You “Go Live”.
No lengthy configuration. No lengthy user acceptance testing. Identical for both small and large gun dealerships.
If you want data converted from your old system, it lengthens go-live by a few days, but not weeks or months.
