(PRESS RELEASE) PROVO, UT — Jewel360, the all-in-one, cloud-based point of sale (POS) software built to meet the needs of modern jewelry retailers, announced a new service in cooperation with the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the industry leader in science-based gem identification and grading. This innovation makes it significantly easier for jewelers to track gemstone details within Jewel360’s inventory system.
At a time when consumer expectations are higher than ever, jewelry retailers are looking to streamline operations so they can focus on providing the best products, services, and experiences to their customers. With this new service, jewelers are able to scan the GIA report provided with each gemstone, or enter its unique GIA report number, into the Jewel360 system, where it will automatically populate the stone details and showcase the digital GIA report. This allows jewelers to quickly and easily locate a gemstone and its details in their inventory. Previously, this would have been a manual exercise, taking jewelers’ time away from customers or operating without the most robust inventory information, which could impact the customer experience.
The new service will be available to all Jewel360 customers.
“Keeping track of gemstone details is, traditionally, a time-intensive process for jewelers, and because of this, is oftentimes foregone, making inventory information less accurate,” said Nick Gurney, General Manager of Jewel360. “The new service with GIA provides jewelers an easy way to track the details of their inventory, significantly improving their inventory knowledge and enabling them to better serve their customers.”
“We’re excited Jewel360 is working with GIA to bring comprehensive gemstone detail tracking to its inventory management system,” said Lindsay Appotive, Owner of True Bijoux. “Keeping track of gemstone details can be a laborious process. We owe it to our customers to know exactly what inventory we have on hand to best meet their needs. This new feature makes it an easy, seamless effort.”
