Switching to FFL Elite Suite from Orchid

Orchid customers often run a capable but heavy stack. FFL Elite Suite keeps the compliance depth and removes the implementation weight.

Why dealers switch

  • Self-service onboarding — no implementation project, no setup fee, no scheduled kickoff call.
  • Predictable pricing at $49, $99 or $199 per month with unlimited regulatory records.
  • Compliance Center is a self-assessment and review queue with transparent methodology, not an opaque score.
  • RecordSync reconciles eForms and legacy exports against your authoritative records with explainable match confidence.

What can be imported

Comes across

  • A&D exports (CSV/XLSX)
  • Inventory snapshots with serials and descriptors
  • Historical dispositions for closed records
  • Vendor and distributor lists

Stays behind

  • Point-of-sale transaction history
  • Third-party accounting ledgers

How RecordSync validates your imported data

  • Every imported row is parsed, normalized and previewed before anything is written — you approve the mapping first.
  • RecordSync compares imported records against your authoritative Suite records and explains each difference instead of silently overwriting.
  • Match confidence is explainable: exact serial matches, normalized matches and fuzzy candidates are labeled so you can see why two records were paired.
  • Anything unclear becomes a finding in Records Needing Review rather than a silent change to a regulatory record.
  • Import provenance is stored with a file checksum, so every record can be traced back to the file and mapping it came from.

What the migration looks like

  1. 1. Export from your current system

    Pull a full acquisition and disposition export as CSV or XLSX. Include open (in-inventory) and closed (disposed) records so your history stays intact.

  2. 2. Upload and map your columns

    The migration wizard reads your headers and proposes a mapping. You confirm or adjust each field — serial number, manufacturer, importer, model, caliber, type, acquisition and disposition details.

  3. 3. Review the validation preview

    Before a single record is written, you see row counts, warnings, blocking errors and duplicate candidates. Fix, skip or accept — you stay in control.

  4. 4. Commit with provenance

    Approved rows are written to the bound book as an append-only import batch, stamped with the source file, checksum and the user who approved it.

  5. 5. Reconcile with RecordSync

    Compare the imported set against eForms exports or a second system. Differences are surfaced for your confirmation — never auto-applied.

Your first five minutes

Create your workspace, upload your Orchid export, confirm the column mapping, finish a short onboarding checklist and record your first acquisition. No implementation project, no setup fee, no scheduled kickoff call.

Why we approach migration differently

You should be able to evaluate compliance software the same way you evaluate a tool on the bench: pick it up and use it. Our migration path is built so you can trial with your real data in an afternoon.
