What POS Software does for a jewelry shop
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a jewelry shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A jewelry shop holds very high value inventory, so weight, purity and tracking by item serial matters. Jewelry shop margins are strong but precious metal pricing swings impact costs.
High value jewelry sales require compliant invoices and gemstone certificates. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Jewelry Shops run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a jewelry shop makes money. These are the ones that matter:
- 1
The daily reality
High value items to secure and insure. POS Software built for a jewelry shop turns that into a number you can act on, and you also sell in seconds on a phone, tablet or the free Veira terminal.
- 2
Where the margin leaks
Precious metal and stone pricing volatility. POS Software built for a jewelry shop turns that into a number you can act on, and you also take Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi la Biashara payments at the till.
- 3
What slows the counter
Custom orders with deposits. POS Software built for a jewelry shop turns that into a number you can act on, and you also keep selling offline and sync the moment the network returns.
- 4
What buyers expect
Authentication and purity verification. POS Software built for a jewelry shop turns that into a number you can act on, and you also file a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale automatically.

| M-Pesa at the counter | Checked on a separate phone | Matched to each sale automatically |
| eTIMS invoices | Typed in later, if at all | Filed on every sale, even offline |
| Knowing your numbers | A monthly guess | Live margin and takings on your phone |
