Custom · Jaipur · Since 2006
Jewellery manufacturing software that tracks every gram from bullion to showcase.
Raw metal to finished piece — melting, BOM, casting lots, karigar jobwork with wastage reconciliation, stone inventory, hallmark batches, lot costing, and B2B order dispatch. Built for Indian jewellery manufacturers and manufacturer-cum-retailers by Jaipur engineers who run production software daily.
What production software must cover
Ten workshop realities generic ERPs and retail POS never model.
Raw metal to finished piece
Bullion purchase → melting → alloying → casting/handwork → polish → finished tag. Every stage records weight in, weight out, and wastage — so fine-gold reconciliation holds across the whole chain.
Jewellery BOM (bill of materials)
Per-design BOM: fine gold, alloy, stones (with carat, colour, clarity where it matters), findings, and expected labour. Actual vs standard consumption reported per production lot.
Karigar jobwork at production scale
Issue metal and stones to in-house karigars or outside workshops, with expected wastage per operation. Track returns, reconcile shrinkage per karigar, pay piecework against verified weight.
Order-to-delivery tracking
B2B orders from retailers or your own showroom orders flow into production lots. Each order shows its stage — designing, casting, setting, polish, hallmark, QC, dispatch — with promised-date alerts.
Wastage and recovery accounting
Expected vs actual wastage per operation and per karigar, plus dust/scrap recovery entries from the workshop floor and refiner settlements. The grams story stays complete.
Hallmark batch management
BIS hallmark batches from the assaying centre tracked per lot — HUID assignment to pieces, certificate scans, rejection handling, and return-file exports.
Stone and diamond inventory
Loose stone stock by lot — carat, size, shape, quality — with issue-to-production and return flows. Diamond/polki/kundan set-weight tracked separately from metal weight on every piece.
Design library with costing
Design master with images, CAD files, BOM, and last-produced cost. Quote a retailer from the design library in minutes instead of reconstructing costs from memory.
Workshop + showroom in one system
For manufacturer-cum-retailers: finished lots flow from workshop to showroom stock (or to B2B dispatch) with transfer slips, and retail billing pulls from the same tag-level inventory.
Costing and margin per lot
Landed metal cost, stone cost, labour, hallmark, overhead allocation — versus realised price, per lot and per design. Know which designs actually make money.
Custom vs off-the-shelf
Where your operation sits decides what you should buy.
| Your operation today | Right pick | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Retail only — you buy finished stock | Billing + inventory system (see those pages) | ₹3–12 L custom, or off-the-shelf |
| Small workshop, one karigar line | Off-the-shelf jobwork modules — Marg, MMI, Ornate | ₹20K–80K/year |
| Manufacturer supplying B2B retailers | Custom manufacturing system — BOM, lots, dispatch | ₹10–18 L build + ₹50K–1.2L/mo |
| Manufacturer-cum-retailer, multi-store | Custom ERP — production + retail in one | ₹12–25 L build + ₹50K–1.5L/mo |
The trigger for custom is almost always the same: a gold-loss dispute you couldn't settle from your records, or a B2B retailer asking for order-status you couldn't answer.

Honest answers
FAQs about jewellery manufacturing software.
What does jewellery manufacturing software do that retail jewellery software doesn't?
Retail jewellery software starts at the finished piece — tag, weight, price, sale. Manufacturing software starts at bullion: melting, alloying, BOM, casting lots, karigar operations with expected wastage, stone issue, hallmark batches, and lot-level costing. If you make jewellery — for your own showroom or for other retailers — you need the production side, and most off-the-shelf jewellery packages only gesture at it.
What does jewellery manufacturing software cost in India in 2026?
Off-the-shelf packages with jobwork modules (Marg, MMI, Ornate and similar) run roughly ₹20K–80K/year and suit small single-line workshops. A custom production system — BOM, multi-stage wastage, karigar reconciliation, lot costing, B2B order tracking — is ₹10–18 lakh to build, plus ₹50K–1.2L/month maintenance. Manufacturer-cum-retailer ERPs covering production and showroom both run ₹12–25 lakh.
Can it reconcile fine gold across the whole production chain?
Yes — that's the spine of the system. Every operation records weight in, weight out, and wastage; recovery entries capture dust and scrap; refiner settlements close the loop. At any point you can run a fine-gold balance for the whole workshop, a single lot, or a single karigar, and see exactly where grams entered and left.
How do you handle outside karigars and outsourced operations?
Same jobwork engine as in-house — issue metal/stones to an outside workshop with expected wastage and due date, track partial returns, reconcile actual vs expected on receipt, and settle piecework accordingly. Outstanding-metal reports show what's with whom, in grams and rupees, at today's rate.
Does it support B2B orders from retailers?
Yes — retailer accounts with their own price lists and terms, order intake (including from a design-library catalogue), order-to-lot planning, stage tracking with promised dates, dispatch with e-invoice/e-way bill data, and retailer-wise outstanding in metal and money.
How is hallmarking handled for production lots?
Pieces group into hallmark batches for the assaying centre; the system tracks batch status, HUID assignment per piece on return, rejections for rework, certificate scans, and the registers BIS compliance expects. HUIDs then travel with the piece into showroom stock or B2B dispatch.
We already run Tally and Excel for the factory. Why change?
Tally holds your books and should stay (we sync to it). Excel is where production tracking goes to die — version chaos, no weight reconciliation, no karigar accountability, costing rebuilt by hand every quarter. If the workshop is small, honestly, stay on Excel until it hurts. It usually starts hurting around 3–4 karigar lines or the first serious gold-loss dispute.
Is this the software you run yourselves?
We build and operate a production ERP for an apparel manufacturing-retail business (the Abhaneri system) — multi-firm, barcoding, jobwork, pricing — and have been maintaining client systems for two decades. Jewellery engagements get that same production-floor DNA: we scope against your actual workshop flow in a paid 2-week discovery before quoting the build.
