(PRESS RELEASE) NEENAH, WI – Jewelers Mutual Group has launched a comprehensive shipping platform called JM Shipping Solution, available to all members of the U.S. jewelry industry.

Jewelers can now compare and select shipping options with an easy-to-use platform that lets them take advantage of exclusive discounts and insurance options for their packages, along with many additional features.

“Supporting the vitality of the jewelry industry is our main focus when developing new products and services,” said Tina Olm, Jewelers Mutual director of commercial lines underwriting. “JM Shipping Solution was created to provide an easy, secure and cost-effective way for jewelers to ship their merchandise.”

The three major benefits of JM Shipping Solution include convenience, cost savings and loss prevention. Jewelers are able to save time by choosing the most effective carrier, service type and packaging using dashboards that simplify their buying decisions. The platform also offers discounted rates from multiple major carriers and allows users to integrate existing discounts. Sophisticated tracking software ensures that deliveries are made successfully.

“To bring the platform to life, we wanted to partner with a company that had decades of logistics expertise, as well as an understanding of the jewelry industry,” said Olm. “Leveraging software powered by TransGuardian has allowed us to introduce jewelers to a variety of features that have transformed the way they do business.”

Some additional features include the ability to:

Queue and manage upcoming shipments
Manage all aspects of return shipments
Buy full or excess coverage when needed
Integrate with existing business systems
Purchase Anti-Money Laundering compliance resources

JM Shipping Solution users who are also insured with Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company can take advantage of even more features, such as:

Receiving deeper discounts on shipping and insurance costs
Waiving the requirement to declare value to the USPS on Registered Mail
Syncing jewelers block coverage with the platform

Signing up to use the features of JM Shipping Solution is free and the platform doesn’t require shipping quotas.
