The Edge

Jewelry Care Program

Montage


Now you can offer your customers peace of mind and convenience and make clear profit all at the same time. Right from point of sale, you can offer a number of care plans for jewelry and watches that will cover sizing, maintenance, and repairs for a reasonable price. To sign up, contact service@ajsllc.com.

Customer Record Improvements

We've completely redesigned the behind-the-scenes handling of customer data and you'll see the benefits throughout The Edge wherever customer records are used. You'll be better able to track transactions, breakdown buying histories, and separate linked accounts. You'll also see a change in the handling of customer contact methods throughout The Edge. Look for clearer indications of preferences and an updated user interface.

 

Appraisal Templates and Improvements

The Edge now offers five appraisal templates that you can use and edit using any RTF editor such as Microsoft® Word. For diamonds, the templates can include visual scales to help your customers understand what the different grades mean. These templates can be saved to PDF for electronic distribution. Enhancement fields in stone records will improve your appraisals even more.

Image Editor

Now you can edit customer and item images and photos right within The Edge! Using the photo controls, select Edit Image to open a paint-like editor that will allow you to change sizes, crop, and adjust color and brightness. Use the editor to add text/notes and markups to images that will help highlight issues, especially at intake.

Report Cover Sheets

With optional report cover sheets and criteria page, your reports will not only look better, but will have a clearer breakdown of the parameters selected and the sorting and grouping options. They will be easier to understand and provide better reference.

Report Changes

New and Improved Open to Buy

The Open to Buy Report has always been there to help you make the best of your investment capital. Now it has more clarity and links specific item data.

 

Stones Tab Enhanchements

For better stone identification and background, on the Item record Stones Tab, we've added an Inscription field to the Quality section and an Enhancements section with two new fields:  Identification and Enhancement.
