Joyeros vs Excel

Joyeros vs Excel: your jewelry store, out of the spreadsheet

Excel and Google Sheets are the first system of many jewelry stores: flexible, familiar and nearly free. As the inventory grows, every sale, every move in the gold price and every new person depends on someone updating the sheet by hand.

In short

Choose Joyeros if…

  • You want every sale to take the piece out of inventory on its own.
  • You need the value of your gold at today's quote, without typing in prices.
  • Your team sells and adds pieces, and each person should see only their part.

Excel suits you if…

  • You have a few pieces and sell now and then.
  • You need calculations or reports built entirely your way.
  • You work alone and don't need a point of sale.

What changes with Joyeros

What a spreadsheet won't do for you.

  • An inventory that updates itself

    In Excel, a sale is a row someone has to change. In Joyeros, checking out at the point of sale takes the piece out of stock and puts the sale in your reports.

  • Gold at today's price

    Joyeros brings in the gold, silver and platinum quotes and works out the metal value of your pieces from their weight and purity. No looking up prices or copying formulas.

  • A login for every person

    Instead of sharing a file anyone can edit, each person signs in with their own account and a role: cashier, inventory, manager or read-only.

How to switch

Move your sheet to Joyeros in an afternoon.

  1. 1

    Create your free account and set up your store.

  2. 2

    Lay out your sheet with one row per piece: name, code, metal, karat, weight, cost and price.

  3. 3

    Import the .xlsx or .csv file into your inventory.

  4. 4

    Sell from the point of sale and let the inventory update itself.

When a spreadsheet stops being enough

A spreadsheet works while one person keeps it and the inventory fits on one screen. Trouble comes with volume: two versions of the same file, a sale nobody wrote down, a formula someone moved or a gold price still stuck on last week's.

Joyeros doesn't replace everything you do in Excel. If you have calculations of your own, keep them, and export your inventory and sales whenever you need them. What changes is that the daily record — pieces, sales, purchases and customers — lives in a system that doesn't depend on someone keeping it up to date.
