Walk into most jewellery shops in Gujarat and the “system” is still four things stitched together: a rate rubbed onto a whiteboard, an estimate slip where weights and making charge get worked out by hand, a paper register for HUID numbers, and a stack of scheme cards in a drawer. It works — right up until a customer disputes a bill, a piece goes missing off the tray, or a GST or income-tax notice lands and someone asks you to reconstruct which rate priced which sale.
HUID isn't a notebook entry anymore
As of the sixth phase of mandatory hallmarking, effective 2 March 2026, BIS hallmarking now covers 380 districts across India, and 9-carat gold joined the net from July 2025. Every hallmarked piece carries a six-digit HUID — a unique code laser-engraved on the item and linked to a record in the BIS database holding its purity, the assaying centre, your jeweller ID and the certification date. Per-piece traceability isn't a nice-to-have you can keep in a notebook. It's the law, and it's auditable from the outside.
Where the old tools fall short
Legacy desktop ERPs like Marg — and the local tools such as Transid and HexaHash — do know jewellery, but they're stuck on a computer in the back office. On-premise means no per-tenant cloud database, dated screens your counter staff fight with, and an audit trail that isn't built for the way GST notices actually arrive today. When the machine dies, so does your data.
Generic accounting like Tally is excellent at accounting and force-fit at everything a jeweller does specially. Cheap cloud billing apps are clean but light on the specifics that matter: the HUID register, karigar job-work, the 11+1 scheme. Nobody owns “modern cloud jewellery OS for the GST-and-HUID era.” That's the gap.
What jewellery billing must actually do
- Rate-of-the-day per purity — set once each morning, and the rate that priced a sale is stamped on that sale.
- Weight-priced POS: metal value (net weight × rate) + making charge + stone value + 3% GST split as CGST/SGST, rounded to the rupee.
- Per-piece tagged stock with a real six-digit HUID register and a stock-movement ledger, so the tray always reconciles.
- Old-gold exchange valued by net weight × tested purity × rate, netted straight onto the bill.
- Gold-savings schemes (the classic 11+1) on a pre-created ledger, with a guard that keeps every tenure under 12 months.
- Karigar job-work with wastage reconciled (issued − received − scrap) and each artisan's metal balance tracked.
- Gap-free, sequentially numbered GST tax invoices with HSN and the CGST/SGST split.
The part that sells itself: books that survive a raid
Everything above runs on gap-free, sequentially numbered GST tax invoices and a full audit trail — every rate, piece, sale and payment logs who changed it, when, from where, and exactly what changed. For a jeweller, that's the difference between a notice that ends in an afternoon and one that eats a fortnight. When the trail is already there, there's nothing to reconstruct.
A jeweller doing lakhs a day across the counter shouldn't have the cheapest, weakest software in the shop.
To be clear about what this is and isn't: BizRevolt doesn't replace your bullion-dealer relationships or your karigars — it replaces the estimate book, the tunch register, the Excel scheme cards and the standalone billing with one cloud workspace that ties them together, with your data in a database that's physically yours and exportable anytime.
BizRevolt's jewellery workspace starts at ₹1,499/showroom/mo (Counter), with Growth and Chain tiers for schemes, repairs, inter-branch transfers and karigar job-work.
