Where to start
If you are new to the subject, read the complete guide to jewellery inventory management first and then how to track gold jewellery stock accurately. Between them they cover the one idea everything else rests on: a jeweller’s unit of stock is a weight at a purity, not a piece.
If you are comparing systems rather than learning the subject, start with jewellery POS versus jewellery ERP and what a jewellery ERP is. When you want to see what this particular product does about it, the solutions pages are organised by the part of the shop, and the resources page lists everything else we have written down.
Reading is one thing. Seeing it on your own stock is another.
Bring a spreadsheet of your inventory and we will set it up with your categories and purities, or ask us to train your counter and your office first.
