Jewellery and precious metals
Half your inventory is with a karigar, every piece is one of one, and the metal price moved while you were reading this.
The things we hear most in this trade.
- “Most of our stock is out with karigars and it is still our gold.
- “Gold is in tola, stones are in carats, findings are by the piece — and the software knows kilos.
- “Every piece is unique. A style code tells me nothing about which piece a customer returned.
- “The metal rate moves daily and our price list does not.
- “When a lot comes back short, nobody can say whose hands it was in.
Capability, and the outcome it buys you.
The karigar is a first-class relationship, and one party can be a job-worker, a supplier and a customer at once
the way the trade actually works is the way it is recorded.
Custody moves without a sale: goods issued to a karigar sit at the karigar's location and stay on your books
the auditor's view and the ledger agree, and the statutory job-work paperwork is the system's paperwork.
Trade units built in, with Tola preloaded alongside metric and count units, and conversions that refuse nonsense unless you define them
weights are entered the way the trade weighs.
Per-piece identity inside a lot: each piece carries its own identity while the lot keeps its cost, its purity and its origin
a returned bangle names its lot, its karigar, its certificate and its warranty.
Two life stories per piece — identity and physical journey, including issued, returned, quarantined and scrapped
a piece that came back and went out again is never mistaken for a new one.
Every lot records its own quantity and value, so cost and margin are right per lot when today's metal cost is not last month's
valuation is per lot, not an average that hides the loss.
Prices computed by formula from cost with markup rules, including different markups on material and labour, and warnings when a price falls below a minimum margin
a moving metal rate flows into price without a manual rewrite.
Every record stamped by the system with who created and who last changed it, and a permanent record of what caused what
a short lot has a custody trail, not an argument.
Hallmarking, purity, certificate references, stone details and origin carried as typed attributes, required before a piece goes live
the certificate and the piece stay together.
Sensitive figures — cost, margin, and who currently holds a piece — hidden unless a person is explicitly granted that right
the showroom sees what it needs and not what it does not.
Repair and buy-back handled as a claim against the piece, through repair, replacement, parts and cost
after-sales is a ledger against the item, not a notebook.
A bangle lot is weighed in tola and issued to a setter on a job-work document; the pieces show at the setter's location and stay on the books. Each piece carries its own identity inside the lot, with purity and hallmark reference on the record. The lot returns one piece short: the custody trail shows exactly which step it was at and who held it. A customer returns a bangle eighteen months later; the scan names its lot, its karigar, its certificate and its live buy-back terms.
