ARC is a time-saving tool for instant reference to your handwritten shop records.
Scan Form 16, Form 10, and PTA pages once. ARC transcribes the handwriting so you can look up a serial, name, date, licence, or FDA number without opening the books. A person in your shop reviews each page before it is saved. Processing runs on our Queensland platform. Records are hosted in Australia and isolated to your shop — other dealers cannot see them. The paper book remains the legal register.
Watch how ARC works and hear directly from a dealer who uses it every day.
An overview of the ARC platform — what it does, how it works, and why it was built for Australian firearms dealers.
Simon from Sunshine Coast Gun Shop shares the compliance challenges that led to ARC, and what it’s like using it day-to-day.
“The ARC platform means I open the paper forms once to scan, then never again. Weapons licensing lookups, fortnightly reports and annual reports now take seconds — not weeks.”

ARC turns handwritten Form 16, Form 10, and PTA pages into a searchable digital record. The form is digitised inside the secure platform. A person in your shop reviews each page before it is final. The original scan stays one click away. Fortnightly and Annual Reviews take seconds, not weeks.
Take a photo with your phone or USB camera. Stack up pages — the queue handles the rest.
On-premises vision models read the page and map the handwriting to the form columns.
Approve, reject, or Fine Tune a field before the record is final.
Look up approved records by serial, name, date, licence, or FDA.

Look up a complete history of that weapon across your records.
Search a full history of that person — what they acquired, what they disposed of, and when.
Link Form 16, Form 10, and PTA to find gaps, bridge human error, and build a complete history of your paper records.
The paper record is passed through a sandboxed and secure method to output incredibly accurate text that you REVIEW and lock into the database.
The REVIEW stage lets you make sure the record you are committing has been accurately captured. You can Fine Tune for a focused transcription.
