How can you manage your inventory automatically
with jewelry inventory software? For
manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers alike,
jewelry inventory tracking is a complex and
critical issue. Complicated inventory movements
can now be managed and tracked automatically. Inve
ntory tracking is possible because of the Jewelry
ERP software's inventory tracking capabilities.
The first step toward automation is digital
jewelry inventory management. A shortage of
inventory results in missed sales opportunities,
whereas a surplus inventory results in excessive
operational costs in terms of handling, shipping,
and storage. If you recognize any of the above
instances, it's a solid clue that your company
needs new jewelry inventory software. Have you
ever been in a situation where you couldn't
determine what raw materials or products you
have on hand? Have you ever been in a
circumstance where the time you gathered all of
this data was out of date because additional
inventory movements had occurred in the
meantime? Is it difficult to figure out how much
your actual inventory is worth? Is it tough for
you to estimate how much raw material you'll need
to complete your jewellery orders? As you can see
from the preceding questions, keeping track of
your jewellery inventory is a difficult task.
Because we're dealing with high-value objects and
resources, this is especially important in the
jewellery sector. Inventory tracking is critical
for any type of organization, whether it's a
manufacturer, retailer, or wholesaler. You could
argue that this is the business's beating heart
that keeps everything running

• smoothly. It is linked to manufacturing, sales,
  raw material inventories, reordering, and
  consignments, therefore it cannot be treated as
  a stand-alone function. Because old inventory
  software isn't dynamically connected to the
  other tasks, it's not ideal for completing this
  difficult activity.
• Spreadsheets in Excel? They may work for a
  one-man operation, but those who keep track of
  their inventory this way are well aware of the
  solution's obvious drawbacks.

A. Jewelry inventory management from the
standpoint of sales One of the most basic
concerns from a sales standpoint is what do we
have on hand that can be sold right away? Due to
the fact that objects can be categorized into
different groups for the sake of clarity in
inventory management software, this can be simply
followed pendants, rings (engagement rings,
wedding bands, solitaire rings), earrings, and so
on. Furthermore, the groups are associated with
traits that are unique to each group. For
example, pendant length and ring size. From a
sales standpoint, the second question is where
is the jewel? Is it in the safe? Are you in a
retail store? In a different location? It was
for this reason that inventory locations were
created. The issue of consignments (or memos)
arises at this point. Because these problems are
rarely solved by simply assigning a simple
inventory location, they necessitate an optimized
feature that is part of inventory handling but
handles products sent out for consignment
separately. It may also be useful to know which
pieces of jewellery are commonly sold and which
have been in the inventory for a long time from
a sales perspective. Last but not least, how our
point-of-sale system is linked to our back-office
inventory system is a critical consideration.
What technique do we need to employ, for example,
if we track our stocks in an Excel spreadsheet,
to remove the item of jewellery that has just
been sold from our inventory? If this can't be
4
done in as little as two steps, we're wasting
valuable time this is one of the reasons why
automating this process is worthwhile. Let's not
forget about e-commerce platforms, which are
becoming a more and more popular sales channel,
and we frequently encounter the issue of
integration. When inventory is manually tracked
in the background, it is nearly hard to develop
an online sales plan. The solution is to
integrate the online platform with jewelry
business software or ERP software, which will
allow orders to sync seamlessly and inventory to
be kept up-to-date on both ends with no
effort. You'll also get the following benefits
from this integration Boost your
visibility Inventory levels that are
optimal Keeping track of sales trends Taking
care of internet sales B. Jewelry inventory
management from the point of view of the
manufacturer As I previously stated, inventory is
the driving force behind all business operations.
Inventory management that isn't up to par can
make manufacturing difficult, hence the two are
linked. First and foremost, it is critical to
keep proper track of the inventory ledger. How do
I know what raw materials I have on hand and
whether I need to order more? Due to the frequent
fluctuation in inventory, if there is no central
database for this, it can be incredibly difficult
to keep track of it. There are two automatic ways
to accomplish this. The first is tracking minimum
inventory (necessary items), with the system
notifying the user or automatically sending a
purchase order to the vendor if inventory falls
below a specific level. A job-based ordering
technique is the other option (items on job
orders). This is a more advanced feature that
handles two problems at once. First, it allows us
to keep raw material inventory to a minimal
since we only order materials when an order has
been placed that requires that specific item,
and second, it ensures that manufacturing runs
smoothly because we have an accurate forecast
and can order supplies on time. Automate
inventory movements are the next item that an
inventory management system can help us with. To
put it another way, we don't have to manually
assign raw materials to each order because the
system does it for us. You can keep track of
what's in the safe, what's on the assembly line,
and what's on consignment. You can see how raw
materials are transformed into completed goods in
real time, and all you have to worry about is
entering the necessary weights into the system.
I'd like to point out that there are digital
scales that automatically read the weight of
whatever is placed on them and send the
information to the system, reducing the chance of
an error. And now we've arrived at the following
point regarding inventory loss tracking
Inventory loss can occur naturally as a result
of production operations (polishing, casting),
but it can also occur as a result of other
circumstances, such as theft-related shortfall.
These deficits are generally masked since
inventory is tracked manually. Whether we adjust
inventory or not when reusing scrap metal, if the
tracking is not done automatically within a
digitalized jewellery inventory software, we will
almost certainly experience
5
massive losses at the end-of-year stock count,
and many of these losses will be difficult to
justify because they are not traceable.
C. Jewelry inventory management from the
standpoint of purchasing I've already touched on
this topic, but it's worth revisiting. There are
various ways to automate purchasing, and doing
so can save us a lot of time. For example, we can
"command" the system to automatically place an
order in a specific phase of the process
whether it's manufacturing or a simple wholesale
operation. This feature allows us to order that
particular diamond from the vendor only once our
consumer has placed the order. This is a frequent
technique in the jewellery industry most of the
time, the stones, diamonds, and diamond rings
being sold are not in the seller's hands. Why?
They don't have to keep as many expensive stocks
this way. How does a jewellery management
software system generate an automatic purchase
order? The answer is straightforward we can
assign default suppliers to specific item types,
ensuring that the system has access to all
relevant data. Automated purchasing involves only
a few clicks from the user, but manual
purchasing is a complex and time-consuming
procedure.

• A decent inventory system will include the
  following features
• Processes for purchase and replenishment should
  be improved.
• Keep an eye on production patterns.
• Excess inventory should be reduced.
• D. Jewelry inventory management in terms of
  pricing
• It is an inextricable aspect of inventory
  management that we understand the worth of our
  inventory, or how much money we have committed
  in this way.
• The system automatically refreshes the
  substantive price of products on stock depending
  on the prices of the international market, the
  metal market, or Rapnet prices if they are
  diamonds on stock, using market-based pricing.
  All of this happens in real-time and
  automatically. This feature isn't included in all
  jewelry software.
• However, when it comes to inventory items, not
  only the price of raw materials but also the
  price of the finished product, is crucial. Every
  jewellery firm operates on various principles,
  which is why it's critical to employ formulae in
  a software environment as well.
• Smaller enterprises that don't have access to
  software try to substitute Excel formulas. We are
  prepared at Jewelsinfosystems to manage these
  various pricing algorithms. Component-based
  pricing, attribute- based pricing, factor-based
  pricing, and cost-based pricing are just a few of
  the pricing formulae that can assist with
  accurately pricing jewellery. These algorithms
  enable us to design pricing that is precise,
  effective, and quick. For example, if we're
  producing a price quote and want to change the
  centre stone of the style, we won't have to
  recalculate the price because the system can
  calculate the new price based on the new stone's
  properties. The process behind this is known as
  variations. This implies we have a basic style
  with components that we may modify for example,
  18k Pink instead of 14K Yellow and the
  operation has an impact on the base price.
• A good jewelry inventory software program will
  include the following features
• Maintain inventory costs and valuations.
• Boost your visibility
• E. Jewelry inventory management from a financial
  standpoint
• Inventory automation is particularly critical
  from an accounting standpoint since we must be
  aware of every single movement. The fourth
  question, "What came in, what went out," "What we
  have on hand," and "What we need to order,"
  maybe the most crucial.
• These changes reveal the direction in which our
  company is heading. Many sales, but a low-profit
  margin? Are there a lot of unsold items in your
  inventory? Is it better to increase or decrease
  sales?
• Perhaps you've been stuck in a rut for a few
  years? Do we have a high rate of sales but a lot
  of assets and unpaid checks? Maybe it's not so
  much a problem with my items as it is with my
  customers.
• I'm afraid to break it to you but QuickBooks
  isn't an inventory management program. Many
  businesses attempt to set up inventory tracking
  in QuickBooks, but they are frequently
  disappointed. QuickBooks does an outstanding job
  of keeping track of the financial side of the
  business, but the inventory module

If you're looking for jewellery inventory
software, you've come to the right place. I hope
you learned something useful and that I was able
to share a few ideas that will help you broaden
your perspective on jewellery inventory
automation. Every jewellery business is
different some have a simpler inventory, while
others have a more intricate one. In both cases,
automation saves a lot of time and energy. If
you're having trouble finding and implementing
the correct jewelry business software, I'd be
pleased to do a one-on-one session with you.
