The Importance of Cloud-Based Technology in the Jewelry Industry

Cloud-based technology is starting to take its place in the jewelry industry. Working with a cloud-based system allows retailers to keep all their data in one place and up to date at all times. Users can access their business from anywhere in the world on nearly any device with an internet connection. 

Cloud-based systems, like Jewel360, allow you to make sales and process payments from anywhere in your store, not just at the register. This flexibility allows you and your employees to provide a positive customer experience and easier checkout. Plus, real-time syncing keeps your inventory updated at all times, both in store and online. Employees can gauge what inventory is in stock instantly, even if a piece was recently purchased online.

Many jewelry retailers have seen countless benefits from adopting a cloud-based system for their business. 

Incorporating Technology Into Your Business Model

The importance of technology in the jewelry industry cannot be overstated — JCK showed just how important it can be for jewelry retailers. Improvements in technology allow you to streamline your business, grow your revenue, and increase positive customer experiences. There are several ways to get started.

Growing Together as Jewelry Retailers

The jewelry industry can be tough. Collaboration is of vital importance for jewelry retailers. As the industry grows and occasionally struggles, relationships with other retailers are beneficial. Working together provides benefits, not just to retailers, but to the jewelry industry as a whole. 

Each retailer is unique. By coming together, we can all learn from each other. Each business carries with it a unique growth experience, different perspective, and custom approach to the challenges it comes across. By coming together, we can all learn from each other. Collaboration allows retailers to share what they have learned, the benefits they’ve seen, and what pitfalls to avoid. 

Tradeshows and events provide the perfect opportunity for jewelry retailers to get together and collaborate. Meeting up with retailers in person opens your jewelry business to important relationships and partnerships. These shows give you a chance to showcase your business while interacting with others who can help take you to the next level.
Want to meet up with the Jewel360 team in person? We’ll be attending a few shows this summer! You can find us at both the IJO and RJO shows. Stay tuned for more information on where to find us and how Jewel360 can help your jewelry business succeed. 

The Benefits of All-in-One Retailer Platforms

Running a jewelry store can be overwhelming. All-in-one retailer platforms help alleviate some of that stress. By managing your business all in one place and on one platform, you can seamlessly keep track of everything without the added worry.

All-in-one platforms, like Jewel360, allow you to demand more from your retail software. The cloud-based system tracks your inventory in real time, manages repairs and custom work orders, and gives you access to business reports and analytics. With integrations like Clientbook, Jewel360’s point of sale solution eliminates the need to work with several different softwares at once. Easily track every aspect of your business in one place.
