Managing jewellery inventory efficiently is crucial for jewellers in Dubai, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. With the right strategies and tools, you can make your processes smoother, reduce mistakes, and keep your customers happy. Here are five essential tips to help you manage your jewellery inventory effectively.
1. Label Everything
It is important to label every piece of jewellery. You can do this by assigning a barcode or SKU number to each item. This helps you keep track of your inventory. For example, you might use ‘B’ for bracelets, ‘N’ for necklaces, and ‘R’ for rings.
Use jewellery tags to label each piece of jewellery. Record the SKU or barcode, along with a description of the item, in your inventory management system. This process ensures you maintain an accurate and up-to-date record of your inventory.
2. Organize Your Storage
Every item in your jewellery inventory should have a specific place. If you don’t have enough space in your showcase, use stackable jewellery trays for easy access. Jewellery ziplock bags are great for storing small parts like jump rings and clasps. Label each bag with the count or weight for quick identification.
SUNFACET ERP helps you manage storage locations and track inventory levels efficiently, ensuring that every item is accounted for and easily accessible when needed.
3. Track Inventory Daily
Set aside time each day to quickly track and update your inventory. This daily routine prevents the need for frequent thorough audits. Record all sales and update your inventory records regularly. If you use a POS system integrated with SUNFACET ERP, these updates are done automatically, saving you time and effort.
For small parts, manually update the count on labels and in your inventory system. You can also store these items by weight, using a jewellery scale to track inventory accurately. Keep track of packaging supplies based on sales to maintain an organized inventory.
4. Display Old Inventory
While new pieces may take centre stage, don’t forget about your older inventory. Jewellery typically has a “season” of one year, making it crucial to sell older pieces before they become unsellable.
Refresh your displays by changing the setup or placing older items prominently. Consider offering discounts on pieces that have been in stock for more than six months. SUNFACET ERP helps you monitor inventory age and implement timely promotions to boost sales of older items.
5. Buy Less, More Frequently
Buying less, but more frequently, can benefit your business in multiple ways. High-end retailers often offer a curated selection of items, which can reduce “choice overload” for customers, making them more likely to purchase.
Use data from SUNFACET ERP to identify core styles that sell well and focus on maintaining a fresh inventory. Conduct market research for new styles but prioritize replenishing top-selling items. This approach keeps your inventory updated and aligns with consumer demands, enhancing your stock levels and cash flow.
By implementing these tips and using SUNFACET ERP, you can simplify your jewellery inventory management, improve efficiency, and boost your business’s profitability.
