3. JewelMate Enterprise Retail Software

Type of Software Application: POS with on-premise comprehensive retail management

Jewelmate Enterprise Retail Software blends POS capabilities with other day-to-day business processes, such as repair tracking, customer management, and even inventory management. While none of its features go particularly in-depth in one area, it offers a little bit of everything for jewelry retailers who want a comprehensive on-premise operations management tool.

Users rave about how easy Jewelmate is to learn and use, supported by a comprehensive guide to answer any questions. They also have found great benefits in its customization tools and special features that make the customer experience stand out.

4. Adaptive Jewelry ERP

Type of Software Application: Cloud-based jewelry industry general software

Adaptive Jewelry ERP is a solution powered by Microsoft Dynamics NAV that is marketed specifically for jewelry retailers as well as other players in the industry, such as designers, stone distributors, manufacturers, and multinational jewelry enterprises.

Being that it serves so many different audiences, its capabilities cover a wide array of processes, from a POS system, stone certification management and product lifecycle management to vendor consignment and metal demand forecasting.
