Jewelry inventory management isn't a simple task - it's highly sensitive. A single misplaced item might cost thousands of dollars. Most jewelers, however, are still using ancient methods such as barcodes or spreadsheets to manage their inventory. Unfortunately, such methods are subject to error, delays, and even theft. 

Here enters RFID, or radio-frequency identification, as a pure transformative solution. Instead of numbers or barcodes, it detects jewelry through radio waves from the RFID chip on its tags.

FOYCOM RFID offers tailored solutions for jewelers, providing real-time visibility, on-demand audits, and the highest tracking precision. So, let's take a look at how FOYCOM addresses five of the biggest problems of jewelry inventory today. 

Inventory Shrinkage Due to Theft Or Misplacement

Shrinkage is the most expensive problem for jewelry inventory as it sneaks up quietly but gnaws away at profit. Causes of shrinkage can be both internal and external theft. Occasionally, it's unintentional - employees may forget to put a piece into their right tray after showcasing them in the showrooms, workshops, or exhibitions. Other times, it's intentional, resulting in unauthorized handling or shoplifting.

The lightweight but high value of jewelry makes it easy to conceal and hard to trace. With poor systems, the stolen item may be lost forever. Even the barcode systems are not able to assist in real-time. Security cameras and staff vigilance are helpful, but uncertain. Therefore, jewelers need automatic stock monitoring that alerts them to discrepancies as and when they occur.

🔍 How FOYCOM RFID helps?: Real-time Item Visibility & Alerts For Unauthorized Movement

FOYCOM's RFID technology provides immediate visibility of the merchandise in the store or warehouse. Each piece of jewelry has a tamper-evident RFID tag linked to a master system. Therefore, when any piece of merchandise gets away outside of a specific area, such as around the door or from a secure display, the system sends out immediate alerts.

This makes you safe from bogus and accidental loss significantly. Also, you get hard evidence of each shift and an instantly navigable electronic record in between. Therefore, with FOYCOM's RFID support, shrinkage is a benign risk, not a totally unpredictable hazard.  

Manual Inventory Errors

Doing the manual hand-counting consumes too much time and is also susceptible to human frailties. Managing the numbers through spreadsheets or even using barcode readers can also have errors. Workers can miscount, miss entries, or read labels incorrectly, especially in hectic festive months or holidays.

Regardless of how much effort employees try to put in, fatigue and distractions cause variances. All those small mistakes add up down the line, costing the business money and leading to suboptimal decisions. A business handling high-value products needs to care about all these mistakes. Manual handling lacks scalability, and the old-fashioned jewelry ERP is simply not ready to handle the large-scale operations that you need today. They cannot provide you with the facilities of real-time monitoring or high-speed audits.

🔍 How FOYCOM RFID helps: Bulk Scanning & Auto-counting With Near-100% Accuracy

FOYCOM's RFID facility puts inventory management towards the future with bulk scanning and auto-counting. Scan hundreds of products at once – no line-of-sight needed like barcodes. With its help, employees can check inventory in seconds with fixed RFID readers. They can automatically track every piece of jewelry in the system with location, status, and movement.

By achieving near-100% accuracy, you significantly reduce human errors. Whether restocking new products, ensuring double-checking displays, or preparing for promotions, FOYCOM streamlines and accelerates all processes. The end result? Improved accuracy, less stress, and more time focused on customer service and sales.

Time-Consuming Stock Audits

Let's be honest—stock audits are a nightmare. Most jewelry businesses do them on a monthly or quarterly basis, which translates to closing the store, removing all the trays, and counting by hand. It can take a few days or at least some hours, which usually demands that you stop regular operations. Sales are put on hold for this duration, workers work overtime, and mistakes still happen.

Barcode-based jewelry inventory management still translates to clumsy and slow audits. They are needed for control, but they squander precious resources. For these reasons, companies keep delaying essential audits, which raises the chances of undetected loss or shrinkage.

🔍 How FOYCOM RFID helps?: Complete Audits in Minutes without Opening Cases

With FOYCOM's RFID, it is now possible to conduct complete audits in minutes, not hours, and forget about days. Moreover, you don't need to take things out of display cases. You simply wave a reader in your hand across trays, drawers, or cabinets. The system will automatically read each item with the RFID tag on it. RFID does not involve line of sight, just like the previous barcode system. So, here, you don't need to swipe every barcode or read small product labels manually.

What took days to do before is done in less than an hour, even in a big store or warehouse. The system also keeps audit histories so you can quickly identify discrepancies, see past counts, and confirm records without creating more paper. So, FOYCOM makes audits become a regular check-up instead of an interruption to your business, and this peace of mind you can surely bank on.

Difficulty Tracking Items Across Multiple Locations

Most jewelry companies have more than one location—branches, showrooms, warehouses, exhibitions, or pop-up corners. Inventory tracking across all those locations is a battle that never ends. Additionally, companies have to shift the inventory to conduct major events or to increase customer orders. With so many outlets and inventories working together, tracking pieces, shipping them to the correct locations, redirecting them to the original place, etc., becomes truly challenging.

Without a central, powerful management system, managers can only make phone calls, use spreadsheets, or check past reports to assume where the missing pieces are. This not only wastes time but also impacts the customer experience. Such delays in finding components result in lost sales and angry customers.

🔍 How FOYCOM RFID Helps?: Centralized Dashboard With Live Tracking & Reporting

FOYCOM RFID offers an integrated dashboard to connect all your locations in real time. Each item with an RFID tag tells the cloud system where it is—either the main showroom or a remote kiosk. You can also view current inventory levels in all your locations, track movement between inventories to shops or vice versa, and even approve transfer permission.

The best part is, in case it does go missing during transit, the system reminds you straight away. So, RFID empowers store managers and inventory managers and makes them feel secure to operate. They can forecast sales events, restock quickly, and prevent over-ordering. With FOYCOM, you'll never wonder where a jewelry piece is—you'll always know.

Inability to Quickly Locate Specific Pieces

Time is money in the jewelry business, especially when there's a waiting customer in front of you. Workers often waste time digging through drawers, trays, or cases searching for a specific piece. These delays lead to consumer disinterest and, in the worst cases, the complete loss of the sale.

These events are very common as staff often move pieces from the floor to the stockroom, or from shelf to shelf, without documenting each moment-by-moment. Manual systems can't track such micro-moves in real time. Picture this: A high-profile customer orders a particular diamond ring, and your staff can't locate it. That's a lost sale and a loss of brand credibility as well.

🔍 How FOYCOM RFID Helps?: Instant Location Identification Using Handheld or Fixed Readers

FOYCOM RFID provides instant area location identification by handheld and fixed RFID readers. With its support, employees can just scan an area, and the system will locate the particular drawer or tray in which the product is right now. Since RFID works in a non-line-of-sight method, products do not need to be visible to be tracked. You can, therefore, scan on shelves behind cabinets and cases, as well as inside closed drawers.

FOYCOM's easy-to-use interface also allows you to search by style, category, or SKU, and brings you results in seconds. That shortens the wait time for customers and improves their satisfaction rates. Your sales associates can, therefore, focus on the sale and not on hunting for items. For high-end boutiques, that efficiency is a luxury shopping experience. FOYCOM makes sense of chaos when it matters most.
