Before You Switch
Six Questions To Ask Any Jewelry Software Vendor.
- What does it cost, all in?
- Ask for the price per user, per location and per module, and whether onboarding, data migration and payments are extra.
- Can I start without a demo?
- If the only way in is a sales call, that is a cost in time before you have seen the product work.
- Who moves my data, and can I undo it?
- Find out whether you can import your own spreadsheets, and what happens when an import gets something wrong.
- Does it know jewelry?
- Metal, karat, gross and net weight, stones, certificates and memo stock should be fields, not notes in a generic catalog.
- How do customers pay?
- Check whether invoices can be paid online, which processor is behind it, and whether payments update the invoice on their own.
- Who can see cost?
- A sales associate should be able to sell a piece without seeing what it cost. Ask where that rule is enforced.

- An in-store point of sale (POS) — Mero runs invoicing and online payments today
- Manufacturing and work orders
- Stock across several locations
- A full general ledger — Mero records sales, payments and profit, not your books
- Online payments outside the United States
