Photograph the cases. Know before you lock up.
A few photographs, not an afternoon
Walk the cases with a phone. The pieces are read off each photograph and checked against the books — no counting, no typing, no staying late.
It tells you which case, and what changed
A short category opens into the sales, trade-ins and movements behind it, with yesterday's photograph beside today's.
Nobody gets accused
A one-day window is a question about a day, not about a person. That is the difference between finding out and having to bring it up.
Counting is blind by design
The expected figure stays hidden until the count is committed. A number you have already seen is a number you count towards.
The unit of account is metal
Worth today's price, not what you paid
The rate comes down every morning and every gram you hold is revalued against it — not a cost figure from whenever the piece came in.
Weight is the measure, everywhere
Milligrams as whole numbers, so a year of receipts cannot drift by a fraction of a gram. Every report reads in grams and in dollars.
Vendor accounts settle in gold
Each supplier carries its own currency and settlement ratio per karat. A shipment reduces what you owe in grams, not only in dollars.
Trade-ins work in both directions
Old gold is a line on the same receipt. Worth more than the piece being bought, the receipt goes negative and the drawer expects the payout.
Each karat at its own price, scaled by purity, with the rate and its source printed beside the total — a figure a bank or an insurer can be shown.
One system, every screen
Phone, tablet, laptop, the PC at the till. The daily check is done on a phone because that is what is in your hand beside the case.
Check the shop from somewhere else
Today's takings, the drawer, this morning's check — from home, on a Sunday, without phoning anyone.
Locked down without being awkward
Encrypted end to end, staff sign in with a PIN at the counter, and a salesperson's view stops well short of your margins and suppliers.
Canadian from the schema up
Investment-grade bars exempt because the category says so. Trade-ins reduce the taxable base. Six years of receipts kept the way the CRA expects.
Rates are stamped onto every receipt
When BC changes a rate, last year's receipts stay arithmetically true instead of quietly restating themselves.
Fix a mis-filed piece without redoing the sale
A ring rung up under bangles is corrected in place, with a note of who changed it. Only price and weight need a fresh receipt.
