ERIONT

Jaipur · Flagship practice · Since 2006

Custom jewellery software — built by Jaipur engineers for India's jewellers.

The backend a jeweller actually runs on — karigar and jobwork, inventory, purchase, sale, billing, accounting, and manufacturing. Built separately for gold-based and precious-stone-based houses, because grams and carats are not the same business. 20years building software from inside Jaipur's gems and jewellery economy — custom-built, fully owned by you, supported for years.

Two kinds of jewellers, two different backends

Gold-based or stone-based — the software has to match your trade.

Most jewellery software is written for one and bolted onto the other. A gold house needs purity, fine-weight, and wastage discipline. A diamond or polki house needs carats, parcels, certificates, and per-stone costing. If your system can't hold both units honestly, your margins are a guess. We build for the trade you're actually in — and for houses that do both, we model both without forcing one into the other's fields.

Type 1

Gold-based jewellers

Plain gold, kundan-meena, temple, antique, chains and bangles — where the business is metal, and every gram has to be accounted for.

What the backend must handle

  • Purity-wise stock (24K / 22K / 18K / 14K) with fine-gold equivalent on every line, so 100g of 22K and 100g of 18K are never treated as the same asset.
  • Daily rate feed driving billing, valuation, and old-gold exchange — with a rate-change audit so yesterday's bills reprice correctly.
  • Old-gold / exchange handling as two legs: metal in at tested purity and deduction, cash or credit out — not a discount line.
  • Karigar metal issue with expected wastage percentage, return weight, and shrinkage settled in grams before payment is released.
  • Hallmark / BIS UID per piece, batch registers, and HUID-linked certificate scans tied to the tag number.
  • Savings and jamatag schemes: instalment ledger, maturity liability, and gold-rate-locked redemption.

Type 2

Precious-stone-based jewellers

Diamond, polki, emerald, ruby and coloured-stone houses — Jaipur's export and studded trade, where the stone is worth more than the metal it sits in.

What the backend must handle

  • Two units on one piece: metal in grams, stones in carats — with per-piece stone break-up (shape, size, colour, clarity, cut, count, carat, rate).
  • Lot and parcel inventory for loose stones: purchase lot, issue to setting, recovery, breakage, and closing parcel weight reconciled in carats.
  • Certificate tracking — IGI / GIA / SGL numbers attached to the tag, with scan and cert-cost recovery on sale.
  • Cost build-up per piece: metal + stone cost + cutting/polishing + setting labour + certification + wastage, so margin is known before quoting.
  • Karigar-wise setting jobwork: stones issued by carat, stones returned, stone loss allowance, and rejection tracking.
  • Export and B2B workflow: buyer-wise order book, memo / approval-out stock, proforma, and dispatch against order.

What a jeweller's backend actually has to run

Workers, work, inventory, purchase, sale — one connected system.

Ask any jeweller where the money leaks and the answer is never “billing”. It's the gram that didn't come back from the karigar, the stone parcel nobody reconciled, the purchase that was never rate-fixed, the memo piece sitting at a buyer's office for four months. These five run as one system — issue a gram anywhere and it shows up everywhere else.

Workers

Karigar & staff management

Karigar master with rate cards (per gram / per carat / per piece / per hour), metal and stone issued against each worker, advance and settlement ledger, attendance for in-house staff, and salesperson-wise sales with incentive calculation. Every gram sitting outside your safe has a name against it.

Work

Jobwork & production tracking

Job cards from design to finished tag — issue slip, expected weight out, expected wastage, actual return, and rejection. Stage-wise routing across casting, filing, setting, polishing, and hallmarking, with ageing so you can see which job has been sitting with which karigar for how long.

Inventory

Stock, tags & valuation

Tag-level stock across showroom, workshop, locker, and memo-out, with barcode/RFID scanning for physical audit. Valuation at live rates by purity and by category, dead-stock ageing, and a weight reconciliation report that ties opening + purchase + production − sale to closing, in grams and carats.

Purchase

Purchase & supplier ledger

Bullion purchase with rate fixing, supplier-wise metal loan / unfixed positions, finished-goods and loose-stone purchase with lot numbers, GST-compliant purchase entry with correct HSN, debit notes on return, and payable ageing so you know exactly what is owed in cash and what is owed in metal.

Sale

Sale, billing & customer ledger

Counter billing with making-charge rules per category, GST split across bullion and labour, old-gold adjustment, part-payment and advance, e-invoice and e-way bill where applicable. Customer ledger with running balance, order and repair tracking, and per-customer buying history for repeat outreach.

All five, or start with the one that's bleeding.

Most jewellers start with jobwork or inventory — that's where the losses are — and add billing and purchase once the stock numbers can be trusted.

Workflows we actually understand

The bits of jewellery operations off-the-shelf software gets wrong.

Gold rate sync

Live or end-of-day metal rate pulls (gold 22K/18K/14K, silver, platinum) feeding directly into billing, valuation, and stock reports. No manual rate entry.

Making charge models

Per-gram, percentage, slab-based, or per-piece making charges. Different rules for different categories — chains, kundan, polki, antique, gemstone-set.

GST and bullion split

3% on bullion, 5% on labour/making, 18% on consultancy/services. Auto-split on the invoice with the correct HSN codes, so your CA's monthly close runs clean.

Karigar jobwork

Issue gold to karigars with weight in, expected wastage, expected weight out. Track returns against issue, reconcile shrinkage, and pay piecework against actual returns.

Hallmark and BIS

BIS Hallmark UID assignment per piece, batch register, certificate scans linked to tag numbers, and BIS return-file exports for periodic compliance.

Tag-number tracking

Every piece carries a unique tag number from creation through sale. Weight, category, karigar, hallmark UID, customer, and exchange history all linked to that tag.

Customer ledger

Per-customer running balance, gold-in / gold-out (exchange), savings schemes (jamatag / jewel-saver cards), advance against future purchase, and statement printing.

Multi-location stock

Showroom + workshop + locker + warehouse stock, with transfer slips and reconciliation. Reports roll up across firms and locations or filter to a single counter.

Who custom jewellery software is for

Not every jeweller needs custom — here's when it pays back.

If you're a single-counter retailer under ₹50 lakh annual turnover, off-the-shelf jewellery POS is the right call. Custom jewellery software is for jewellers in one of these four positions.

Jewellers outgrowing Vyapar / Marg / Reach

You started with off-the-shelf jewellery POS, and now you need workflows the SaaS doesn't sell — multi-firm GST, karigar piecework tracking, custom hallmark batch reports, integration with your website or Tally.

Multi-store retail jewellers

Two to twenty showrooms with central workshop, central inventory, and per-store P&L. Off-the-shelf jewellery software handles one store well; multi-store needs custom data and reporting.

Manufacturer-cum-retailer jewellers

Raw-gold-to-finished-piece manufacturing alongside retail. Most jewellery POS handles one of the two; we build for both, with the BOM, wastage, and assembly tracking you actually need.

Online + offline jewellers

Showroom plus e-commerce on Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom storefront. Same inventory, same stock, real-time sync — not nightly CSV uploads.

Why a Jaipur dev shop for jewellery software

We build from inside India's gems and jewellery capital.

Jaipur is the city where India's organised jewellery retail sits — MS Road, Johari Bazaar, Vaishali Nagar showrooms, plus the SITAPURA SEZ where global gemstone exports are processed. Karigar networks here are dense, and the workflow of weight reconciliation, karigar advance, hallmark batch tracking, and exchange-gold accounting is native knowledge — not something we learnt from a spec document.

ERIONT has been building software in Jaipur since 2006. Jewellers and jewellery-adjacent businesses have been on our client book for two decades — including Jewels Emporium and other long-standing showrooms. When we say we understand a jewellery shop's operations, it's because we've sat across the counter from the owner while the karigar walked in for his weekly settlement.

Honest answers

FAQs about jewellery software development.

Do you build for gold jewellers or diamond and stone jewellers?

Both — but not with the same system. A gold-based house needs purity-wise stock (24K/22K/18K/14K), fine-weight equivalents, daily rate fixing, old-gold exchange as a two-leg entry, and wastage settled in grams. A precious-stone house needs carats alongside grams, loose-stone lot and parcel tracking, per-stone attributes (shape, size, colour, clarity), IGI/GIA certificate linkage, setting-loss allowance, and per-piece cost build-up. Houses doing both get both models — we don't force carats into a gram field.

What does a jeweller's backend software actually need to cover?

Five connected areas. Workers — karigar rate cards, metal and stone issued per worker, advance and settlement ledger, salesperson incentives. Work — job cards with expected wastage, stage-wise routing (casting, setting, polishing, hallmarking) and ageing. Inventory — tag-level stock across showroom, workshop, locker and memo-out, with valuation and weight reconciliation. Purchase — bullion with rate fixing, unfixed metal positions, lot-numbered stone purchase, GST and payable ageing. Sale — billing with making-charge rules, GST split, old-gold adjustment, and customer ledger. If these five don't talk to each other, the grams stop reconciling.

Can the system track stones by carat and metal by gram on the same piece?

Yes, and that's usually the reason stone-based jewellers call us. One tag carries metal weight in grams at a purity, plus a stone break-up in carats with shape, size, colour, clarity, count and rate per stone. Cost rolls up as metal + stone + cutting/polishing + setting labour + certification + wastage, so you know the piece's true cost before you quote it. Loose stones stay in lot/parcel inventory until issued to setting, and recovery, breakage and rejection are reconciled in carats.

Is ERIONT jewellery software off-the-shelf or custom-built?

Custom-built. We don't ship a packaged jewellery SaaS at ₹5,000/year — we build bespoke jewellery software for retailers, manufacturers, and multi-store jewellers whose process the off-the-shelf market (Vyapar, Marg, Reach, JewelEra) doesn't cover. Typical engagement is ₹4–25 lakh depending on scope.

Why custom instead of buying Vyapar, Marg, or JewelEra?

For single-counter retail jewellers under 50 lakh annual turnover, off-the-shelf jewellery POS is the right answer — Vyapar starts at ₹4K/year, Marg jewellery edition runs ₹15–30K/year, JewelEra and Reach are in the ₹50K–1.5L/year range. Custom only makes sense when you've outgrown those — multi-store, manufacturer-cum-retailer, integration with website + Tally + ERP, or workflows the SaaS doesn't support.

What's typical jewellery software development cost in India in 2026?

Billing software (single-store, tag + GST + karigar advance): ₹3–6 lakh. Multi-store ERP with workshop + karigar + hallmark: ₹12–25 lakh. Inventory-focused tools (tag tracking, weight reconciliation, valuation): ₹3–6 lakh. Mobile app on top of any: +₹3–8 lakh. Ongoing maintenance: ₹40K–1L/month.

How long does a jewellery software build take?

Billing tool: 6–10 weeks. Multi-store ERP: 16–28 weeks. Custom inventory + valuation system: 6–12 weeks. We discover and lock scope first (2–3 weeks) so the build doesn't drift mid-flight.

Why Jaipur engineers for jewellery software?

Jaipur is India's gems and jewellery capital — the city where SITAPURA SEZ ships gemstones globally, where MS Road and Johari Bazaar run the country's biggest organised jewellery retail, and where karigar networks are dense enough that we understand the workflow as natives, not as outsiders reading documentation. ERIONT has been building software in Jaipur since 2006, and our client book includes Jewels Emporium and other long-standing jewellers in the city.

Can the software integrate with our existing Tally?

Yes. Two-way sync with Tally Prime for sales, purchase, stock, and GST — so your CA keeps working in Tally while your counter and workshop run on the custom system. We also integrate with Zoho Books, BUSY, and direct GSTN if needed.

Do you build mobile apps for jewellers too?

Yes — typically alongside the desktop / browser ERP. Salesperson-app for tag scanning and billing, customer-app for jamatag scheme balance and order tracking, and karigar-app for jobwork issue/return. iOS + Android via React Native, or web PWA depending on use.

Will we own the source code?

Yes — full ownership, day one. Repo, credentials, cloud account, domain, database backups all transfer to your org. We host and maintain it under retainer if you want, but ownership is non-negotiable.

Can we see a working demo?

We don't run a public sandbox — every jewellery client gets a custom build. We can show working modules during the discovery call, share architecture documents, and connect you with existing dev clients (under NDA) so you can ask whatever you want about reliability, support, and delivery.
