(PRESS RELEASE) EVANSTON, IL — Jewelry and watch insurer BriteCo and the leading retail management system The Edge have announced a partnership to provide jewelry stores with BriteCo’s automated appraisal software that enables jewelers to easily perform, track, and manage appraisals for customers.

Integrated seamlessly with The Edge, BriteCo’s appraisal software is free to retail jewelers. With one-click appraisals on new sales, jewelers can now create complete appraisals directly within The Edge at the time of sale, saving time and streamlining the customer experience. Accessed from the customer record in The Edge, the BriteCo appraisal software also enables easy creation of off-the-street appraisals, allowing jewelers to track in-progress appraisals, import them when ready for processing, and manage completed appraisals—all within The Edge console.

“We love the BriteCo appraisal software,” according to Josh Kuncis, VP of Operations at State St. Jewelers in Greensboro, North Carolina. “Integrating it with The Edge makes appraisals faster and easier with one click in our POS, saving our staff loads of time.”

As part of the BriteCo integration, jewelry store customers can also receive an immediate, no-obligation insurance offer via email or SMS text at the time of a jewelry purchase. Once a customer accepts the offer, they purchase the insurance directly from BriteCo online in minutes. BriteCo insurance coverage can be completed by answering only a few questions and paying by credit card with the option to pay monthly or make an annual payment at a discount.

“Since 2004 The Edge has been the leader in applying advanced technology that delivers a holistic approach to managing jewelry stores,” said Dick Abbott, president of The Edge. “The integration of BriteCo’s appraisal software and jewelry insurance into our total solution is another key advantage for stores to stay competitive and meet the evolving challenges of the jewelry industry.”

“The integration of BriteCo’s appraisal software and insurance within The Edge saves time by generating appraisals instantly,” noted Dustin Lemick, CEO of BriteCo. “This makes it super easy for customers to get immediate coverage on their most valuable jewelry and watches right at the point of sale,”

97 Years of Family History, One Right Decision: How Malloves Jewelers Found the Right Partner to Close with Grace

Marc Levin’s grandfather Max founded Malloves Jewelers in Middletown, CT, in 1928. Nearly a century later, Marc — the third-generation owner — knew it was time to retire. He’d watched friends and fellow jewelers navigate store closings with Wilkerson’s help, and their recommendations were hard to ignore. Once he connected with the Wilkerson team, the decision was clear. “They made me feel like family,” he says. Wilkerson’s team handled every detail day by day, kept Marc informed every step of the way and delivered results that met and exceeded his financial goals. Watch Marc share the story of Malloves Jewelers’ final chapter — and why he slept soundly through all of it.
