WE STAND AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF FULFILLMENT FOR JEWELLERY AND LUXURY ITEMS
Logistics for the jewellery sector
Understanding the uniqueness of the jewellery sector
Logistics for the jewellery sector, especially in its fulfillment dimension, sets higher-than-average standards in terms of quality and thoroughness. Certainly, we are talking about unbelievably valuable goods that target a particularly demanding audience. This is reflected in all phases of the logistics process: from storage to last mile distribution.
Ensuring the proper condition of the goods and preventing their theft are the main logistics goals when handling jewellery. Stay with us and find out what precautions to observe and to what extent technology can help us in the management of these orders.
Meticulous care in the storage and distribution of jewellery
It is obvious that the storage and distribution of jewellery forms part of the luxury goods’ sphere. Consequently, it is essential that both logistics operations feature the necessary precautions. Would you like to learn which are the most effective?
Jewellery storage
Warehouses with a restricted area for luxury items are ideal for ensuring security during jewellery’s storage. These specific areas offer extra security over standard storage areas. Amongst their specific functions, the following are worthy of special mention:
- Facilitating access control.
- Entry and exit hermetic closure.
- Video surveillance systems.
- Alarming Devices.
- Thorough inventory management for optimal stock control.
- Underwriting of specific insurance policies.
Bespoke security for luxury goods
Within the restricted storage areas we offer for luxury items, at Logisfashion, a special area is set aside for jewellery storage. This allows us to adapt our material and human resources to the specific needs of these goods. In this way, we are able to guarantee their safety at all levels.
When discussing security in logistics for jewellery, this does not solely entail the prevention of theft and robbery. Their storage must also keep these goods in optimal condition, preserving them from any damage such as moisture, dust, bumps, scratches, etc.
Thus, both the storage space and the special furniture or shelves, in addition to the boxes or containers that house these items must offer extra protection measures.
Distribution of jewellery
Logistics for jewellery also encounters specific protection measures in picking and packing processes. When all is said and done, once the goods are taken out of the warehouse, corners may not be cut due to their fragility and high value.
- Order picking by personnel specially trained in the handling of high-value items. Their professional training, together with reinforced preventive measures, guarantees incident-free picking.
- Special packaging for jewellery: Alongside 100% customisable, a jewellery cleaning process is carried out while also offering a message or initial engraving service to provide them with a unique value for customers. The packaging process tries to reproduce the shopping experience the actual stores provide.
- Special transportation, in order to guarantee safety during the last mile phase.
- Real-time tracking to ensure shipment traceability during the jewellery distribution stage.
Technology used to manage jewellery orders
The precision and security required by jewellery logistics are greatly supported by technology. It is for this reason, at Logisfashion, we provide our customers with digital tools expressly designed to enhance transparency and control of fulfillment.
Logiscore
Secure, flexible and scalable, Logiscore is the in-house EMS that we have developed to oversee our operations. Thanks to this, you will be informed at all times and in full detail of how your jewellery storage is progressing.
- Keep your jewellery metrics in check: inventory sales volume, productivity, etc.
- Adapt logistics operations to the needs derived from the seasonality of your sector. We will take care of coordinating the teams!
- Connect it to any e-Commerce platform, through ad hoc integration, API or customer portals.
Dataplatform
As a jeweller, the finest business decisions are those that are grounded on current, objective data. However, filtering and correctly interpreting the information provided by logistics centers is not always as easy and swift as you might like.
When it comes to streamlining logistics for jewellery, you need to make swift and smart decisions. This is what we can offer through real-time data analysis provided by our tool.
Other technologies used in jewellery logistics
A large part of the value-added operations (VAS) on offer at Logisfashion are especially aimed at the jewellery sector. Bear in mind that we will be by your side throughout the supply chain: from quality control at source to the reverse logistics phase.
Alarming
One of our most demanded value-added services in jewellery logistics is that of fitting and removing alarms. Indeed, an aspect as simple as placing an alarm in the packaging of a jewel is an immense help as a means of combating theft. Our alarms, equipped with market-leading technology, come to the fore for their accuracy and efficiency.
RFID
Although the RFID stock management system is used in all types of items, it is in jewellery logistics where it provides the most standout benefits. Undoubtedly, the small size of these pieces makes it difficult to identify and control them using other less advanced means.
RFID technology speeds up jewellery’s identification and enables stock management in real time and with unmatched thoroughness. Did you know that its implementation is directly related to significant operational cost savings?
Jewellery engraving
As with packaging, the customisation of goods is always well received in a sector as select as jewellery.
After all, the exclusivity of personalised items is very highly prized by consumers.
That is why we offer a jewel engraving service with which you can turn each of them into a standalone piece.
