Global regulatory compliance consultancy Arcus Compliance Ltd has announced its strategic acquisition of the vape industry data platform VapeClick. Arcus says the website is recognised as the UK vape industry’s most comprehensive online directory of Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) submitted and notified vape and e-cigarette product data.
Arcus Compliance says the VapeClick platform provides all vape industry stakeholders, including consumers, manufacturers, retailers and enforcement teams, with the unique ability to search and identify appropriately published and notified products quickly and accurately. This capability is crucial as a first step in verifying compliance with UK vape regulations.
“VapeClick supports a wide variety of use cases, offering bespoke reporting and notifications from its vape intelligence application.”
This self-proclaimed landmark deal emphasises Arcus Compliance’s commitment to the highest standards of compliance, providing its clients and partners with the most advanced solutions to achieve and maintain robust regulatory compliance, across the UK vape landscape and further afield, the company says.
“The availability and transparency of compliance data consolidated in a single platform is essential for the entire industry in building and maintaining trust amongst consumers and regulators.”
Through its acquisition of vape-click.com, Arcus Compliance Ltd says it will continue to develop and enhance the database and its numerous applications, providing an unparalleled resource in a burgeoning portfolio of proprietary software portfolio. The vision for the innovative platform is that it will continue to grow to meet emerging industry needs, as it navigates existing and future regulations.
Arcus Compliance CEO Lee Bryan commented: “We are delighted to have agreed the deal to acquire the vape-click.com portal. The solution has become the go-to portal for UK-registered vape products and will become an important piece of the jigsaw for the cutting-edge Arcus software portfolio.
“We have exciting plans for integration, including development for other industries, as well as providing valuable oversight for enforcement bodies throughout Europe.”
VapeClick’s Chief Technical Officer Raphael Klimaszewski added: “This is an important milestone in the growth and development of the innovative vape-click.com platform. We have spent many years building the database that has revolutionised how vape products can be quickly and readily checked and monitored for their compliance status.
“The acquisition of the portal by Arcus Compliance is a testament to the impact that the platform has made and its inherent value amongst its many users. We look forward to seeing it go from strength to strength under Arcus’ leadership.”
Vapeclick was created by Yorkshire-based firm TechStream collaborating with the UK Vaping Industry Association, regional Trading Standards officers, and compliance agencies.
