Where ZSolTech pulls ahead for a e-Jewel buyer: ZSolTech's price is on the page — $300/$499/$999 per branch — and one platform covers retail, wholesale memo, manufacturing, refinery and bullion together, so you are not buying a second system when the business grows. Put the same questions to every vendor you shortlist — our answers are below, with a way to verify each one in a live demo.
Ten questions to ask e-Jewel — and any jewellery software vendor
Put these to both vendors in a live demo. The ZSolTech column is our answer, on record.
| Dimension | Ask e-Jewel (and every vendor) | ZSolTech's answer |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | Is pricing public, or do you need a sales call to learn the cost? | Published: Retail $300/mo, Professional $499/mo, Enterprise $999/mo — on the pricing page. |
| Live gold pricing | Does the POS price from a live, karat-wise daily rate — or is metal value typed by hand? | Live rates auto-applied by karat (Daily Karat Master); one morning update reprices everything. |
| Weight + piece inventory | Is stock tracked by gross/net/pure weight AND by piece (barcode/RFID) on the same record? | Yes — dual tracking is the core data model, with RFID and barcode on the same records. |
| Old-gold exchange | Can a buy-back be valued at today's rate and netted against a new sale on one invoice? | Yes — exchange, purity testing and netting happen inside the sale flow. |
| Manufacturing | Are job cards issue-to-recovery — metal out, metal back, loss, dust recovery, wastage costed? | Yes — full job-card lifecycle including boiling/melting, repairs and diamond jobs. |
| Schemes & CRM | Are gold-savings (chit) schemes, loyalty and occasion reminders built into the POS? | Yes — enrolment, installment collection at the counter, and scheme due-date reminders. |
| Accounting | Is double-entry accounting native (metal + money), or does data export to a separate package? | Native — Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet with stock revalued at live metal rates. |
| Deployment | Cloud, on-premise, or both — and can you switch later? | Both — cloud SaaS or your own SQL Server on-premise; desktop, web and POS-touch share one database. |
| Compliance | Are VAT/GST invoices, e-invoicing (e.g. ZATCA), KYC/AML on cash sales built in? | Built in — including Gulf VAT, e-invoicing and high-value cash-sale KYC workflows. |
| Migration | Will they import your item masters, customers, balances and stock — or do you start from zero? | Structured import of masters, customers, balances and stock, with a guided go-live in 2–6 weeks. |

The questions that separate jewellery ERPs from each other
Most established jewellery vendors answer the checklist above well. These are the capabilities that need their own data model — so they are hard to add later, and worth testing before you commit.
| Capability | Ask e-Jewel (and every vendor) | ZSolTech's answer | How to verify it live |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth beyond the counter | Does one system cover retail, wholesale, manufacturing, refining and bullion — or is retail the whole product? | One platform: 21 modules and 1,000+ functions spanning POS, wholesale and memo, manufacturing, refinery, bullion trading, fixed assets, payroll and BI on a single database. | Ask which of those five they run natively versus through a partner. |
| Unfix & component-wise diamond | Can you buy or sell a diamond before its price is fixed, and transfer it component-wise between branches? | Yes — unfix purchase and sale, partial approvals with a pending list, and component-wise branch transfers and assembling. | Ask for an unfix purchase followed by a partial approval. |
| Metal position & hedging | Can the system hold an open (unfixed) metal position and fix it against a live trading account? | Yes — a full hedging desk: purchase/sales/receipt/payment fixing (HPF, HSF, HRF, PHF, RHP, RHS) with MT5 login and live position retrieval. | Ask them to show an open metal position on screen, then fix part of it. |
| Refinery & assay | Are purity testing and refining part of the same system, or a separate process on paper? | Same database — XRF scanning, fire assay, purity test issue/receipt/return with authorisation and amendment, purity comparison, production-loss recovery and return-to-safe. | Ask to see an assay sheet linked to the intake it came from. |
| Karigar & job-work ledgers | Does every karigar have a running metal balance, with wastage measured per craftsman and per process? | Yes — job cards issue and receive metal by weight, with loss, dust/lemel recovery and net wastage computed per karigar, per process and per job, plus a karigar BOQ ledger. | Ask to open one karigar's ledger and see grams outstanding today. |
| Gulf labour compliance | Does payroll handle WPS, gratuity, end-of-service entitlement and air tickets — or only salaries? | All of it: WPS agent master, gratuity and end-of-service accrual, leave salary, air-ticket entitlement and registers, with biometric attendance feeding the calculation. | Ask to see an end-of-service figure for one employee, today. |
| Footfall & conversion | Can you measure walk-ins, not just sales — so you know your actual conversion rate? | Yes — Signum footfall capture with zone and window masters and staff in/out tracking, so conversion has a real denominator. | Ask what their system reports as yesterday's conversion rate. |
| Offline capability | If the internet drops during trading hours, can the counter keep selling and reconcile afterwards? | Yes — offline export/import with an offline log and controlled unlock, plus cloud invoicing and cloud sales for hybrid operation. | Ask them to describe, step by step, a sale made with no connection. |
| Loss controls & authorisation | Who can approve a discount, a rate override or a stock adjustment — and is that enforced or just understood? | Enforced: discount OTP above a threshold, document authorisation by voucher type, permissions by process AND location, plus edit/delete history and a user transaction log. | Ask them to attempt a discount above the limit in front of you. |
| Reverse & policy pricing | Can you work backwards from a tag price to its components, and apply a buy-back policy consistently? | Yes — reverse price ratio master for tag-price-down pricing, and policy-driven buy-back settings rather than a decision made per customer. | Ask them to derive making charges backwards from a finished tag price. |
| Small-order economics | Can several small custom orders share one melt and casting run, with loss split back per job? | Yes — job merging and splitting, casting tree up/down, with returned weight and loss allocated across the jobs on the tree. | Ask how a single-piece order is costed without carrying full overhead. |
| Language & localisation depth | Beyond translation, can screen labels and terminology be changed to match your trade's vocabulary? | English, Arabic and Urdu with user-editable form captions and a dictionary — so tola, masha, ratti, kat, ghat, tunch and karigar appear as your staff say them. | Ask them to rename a field to your own trade term, live. |
We publish the "how to verify" column deliberately: a claim you can test in a demo is worth more than one you have to trust. Explore the depth for yourself in the full feature catalogue, manufacturing, karigar accounts and wholesale ERP.

e-Jewel vs ZSolTech — common questions
Straight answers about pricing, evaluation and migration.
e-Jewel's pricing is not something we can quote — confirm current pricing directly with the vendor, and ask specifically about implementation, training, support renewals and per-branch or per-user charges, which is where jewellery software quotes usually grow. ZSolTech publishes its pricing: Retail $300/month, Professional $499/month and Enterprise $999/month, with custom development included in every plan.
