Software for gun shops, trainers and clubs.
Armify keeps your clients, licence applications, course bookings and members in one place online. Your clients get a free app that reminds them before their licence expires, and books the renewal with you.

| Client | Licence | Firearm | Apply by | Status |

Most of this work still happens on paper.
Gun shops, trainers and clubs all deal with the same licences. Today each of them keeps their own records, mostly by hand.
Renewal dates live in a diary
Clients miss the last day to renew, and you find out when it's too late.
Client details are typed out again
The same ID, address and licence numbers go onto every form, by hand.
Applications go quiet
Clients phone to ask what's happening, and nobody can see what stage each one is at.
Bookings arrive on WhatsApp
Course seats are tracked in messages and spreadsheets, and nobody reminds students the day before.
Club records are on paper
Hunts and matches are hard to check when a member needs a support letter.
Stock is written in a book
The records the law requires are kept by hand and are hard to search.
Your clients get a free app that brings them back to you.
When you add a client, they can download the app. It holds their licences and reminds them before anything expires. When it's time to renew, it asks them to book with you.
Choose who can see your details. Nobody else can search for you.
Several businesses handle the same licence.
Armify covers every step of getting and keeping a licence.
Click a step to see who handles it.
Nobody can search Armify for gun owners.
Each business sees only its own clients. Each client chooses which other businesses can see their details, and can change it at any time. Try it here.

We're taking on our first gun shops, trainers and clubs now, starting in George.
Every client, application and renewal in one place.
Keep client files, track each licence application from documents to approval, see who needs to renew in the next 90 days, and keep your stock records. Clients follow their application in the app, so they phone you less.
Licence applications
What Armify does for a gun shop.
Client files
Each client's ID, licences, competency certificates and documents in one place.

Renewals due
See every client whose licence expires in the next 90 days, and remind them with one click.
Stock records

Clients book through the app
When a renewal is due, the app asks your client to book it with you.
A website for your shop
A public website with your details, linked to your client list and the app.
Applications still take months. Your clients can see where theirs is.

Put your course dates online, take bookings and payments, record results, and see when past students' certificates expire so you can invite them back.
Week of 10 Nov
What Armify does for a training provider.
Online bookings
Clients pick a course date and book a seat online, any time of day.
Online payments
Clients pay when they book, so fewer seats are left empty.
Course calendar
All your courses, venues and instructors in one calendar.
Results
Record each student's results once. They show up in the student's app.
Reminders
Students get a reminder before their course, so fewer people miss it.
Bring past students back
See whose competency certificates are expiring and invite them to a refresher course.
Put the theory online. Keep the practical at the range.
Students learn the Firearms Control Act and safe handling theory online, at their own pace, and write the knowledge test online. They arrive at the range ready for the practical. Your range time goes on shooting, not on reading the Act aloud.
No skipping ahead · progress saves itself
02:24 / 07:30
Lesson 1.3Safe storage at home
Every part of the course is checked, one section at a time.
Students hand in evidence for each section: written answers, photos and short videos. Written answers and photos are marked against your checklist within seconds. Your instructor reviews every result, can override it, and signs off each section.
The same section-by-section marking already runs in Sigmafy, 2KO's training platform.
The instructor records the practical on their phone.
At the range, the instructor ticks off each part of the practical in the Armify app, adds photos or video as evidence, and signs it off. The result goes straight to the student's record and certificate.
Anyone can scan the code to confirm the certificate is real, without seeing the student's personal details.
Five steps from booking to certificate.
Theory online
The student books and pays online, then works through the video lessons at home.
Knowledge test online
A timed test drawn from your question bank, marked straight away.
Sections handed in online
Written answers, photos and handling-drill videos with an inert training pistol, marked section by section and reviewed by your instructor.
Practical at the range
The live-fire practical, recorded by the instructor in the app as the final section.
Certificate
Issued once every section is signed off, with a code anyone can scan to check it.
Many SA providers already run theory online with the practical in person. Confirm with SASSETA and the PFTC which parts of your accredited course can be delivered online. The practical handling test always happens in person.
Students book and pay online. You know who's coming before the day.

Buy from licensed gun shops and accredited trainers.
Courses, range days, safes and gear, plus firearms listed by licensed dealers. Buyers collect a firearm from the dealer once SAPS approves their licence, and can pay it off while they wait.
Marketplace
What you can buy and sell.
Every seller is a business already on Armify, so buyers know who they're dealing with.
Courses
Training providers sell competency courses, refreshers and online theory.
Range days and events
Clubs sell range time, matches and memberships.
Safes and storage

Firearms: licensed dealers only
Only licensed dealers can list firearms. Buyers collect from the dealer once their licence is approved.
Selling a firearm you own
Private owners can't list firearms themselves. Your dealer lists it for you, as the law requires.
How a firearm sale works.
The firearm stays with the dealer until SAPS approves the licence. Armify tracks the payments and the licence application in one place.
A dealer lists it
Only licensed dealers can list firearms, from their own licensed premises.
The buyer reserves it
Pay in full or start a lay-by. The dealer holds the firearm.
The licence application
The dealer helps with the SAP 271. The buyer follows it in the app.
Collect from the dealer
Once SAPS approves the licence and it's paid off, the buyer collects in person.
Ammunition sales are tied to the buyer's licence and calibre. We'll add them once a firearms-law attorney has signed off the process.
Selling on the marketplace.
List from your stock
Gun shops list items straight from their Armify stock records. Trainers and clubs list courses and events from their calendar.

By law, SAPS keeps the Central Firearms Register, and only SAPS issues licences. Armify doesn't replace it. It's the software your business uses for the admin around it.
Common questions.
Is Armify the police firearm register?
No. SAPS keeps the official register and issues all licences. Armify is software for running your business and keeping your clients' paperwork in order.
Who can see my clients' details?
Only your business, plus any other business your client chooses to share with, such as their club. Nobody can search Armify for gun owners.
Where is the data stored?
In data centres in South Africa. Sensitive details like serial numbers and addresses have extra encryption.
Do my clients have to use the app?
No. You can use Armify for your own records without any client using the app. The app is free for clients who want it.
Can I bring my existing client list?
Yes. We bring in your existing client or member list as part of setup.
Can I sell firearms on the marketplace?
Only licensed dealers can list firearms. Buyers reserve or pay off the firearm and collect it from the dealer once SAPS approves their licence. Private owners sell through their dealer.
Can my students do their course online?
The theory, the knowledge test and sections like written answers, photos and handling-drill videos can be handed in online, marked section by section and reviewed by your instructor. The practical handling test is always in person, and your instructors record it in the app. Check with SASSETA and the PFTC which parts your accreditation allows online.
