Sound Familiar? We've Got You Covered

Real problems faced by UK dealers every day, solved with GemJam's purpose-built features

"Finding a Purchase Receipt Takes Hours"

Purchase invoices scattered across email, folders, and filing cabinets. Tracking supplier relationships is a nightmare.

GemJam Solution: Complete Purchase Management

  • Digital invoice storage with instant retrieval
  • Searchable transaction history by supplier, date, amount
  • Purchase-to-inventory workflow with automated pricing
  • Attachment upload for receipts and certificates

"VAT Margin Scheme Calculations Keep Me Up at Night"

Calculating VAT on the margin for second-hand goods is incredibly complex. Never confident it's correct for HMRC.

GemJam Solution: Automated VAT Compliance

  • Automated VAT margin scheme calculations (16.67% on profit)
  • Purchase VAT status tracking for margin eligibility
  • Dual invoice formats (customer-facing vs accounting)
  • HMRC-compliant documentation and reporting

"Tracking Sales Across Multiple Channels is Chaos"

Selling on eBay, 1stDibs, and in-person. Tracking which item sold where, the commission, and order details is a nightmare.

GemJam Solution: Unified Multi-Channel Sales

  • Customisable sales channels with URL tracking
  • Automatic inventory status updates when items sell
  • Commission and payment processing fee tracking
  • Sales history by channel, customer, and profit

"My Item Documentation System is a Mess of Folders"

Each piece is unique and needs detailed provenance, condition reports, and photos. Current system can't keep up.

GemJam Solution: Comprehensive Item Tracking

  • Unlimited image uploads per item (ImageKit integration)
  • Attachment system for certificates and appraisals
  • Custom SKU configuration for unique item codes
  • Location tracking and detailed condition management

"My Inventory Fields Are Either Too Generic or Too Cluttered"

A database that works for rings doesn't work for handbags. End up with 50 fields where most are empty, or cramming everything into a 'notes' field.

GemJam Solution: Custom Templates Per Category

  • Category-specific fields (hallmarks for jewellery, movement type for watches, designer for handbags)
  • Calculated fields for automatic values
  • Only see fields relevant to each item type
  • Create your own templates as your inventory evolves

"I'm Paying a Bookkeeper Just to Make Sense of My Records"

Spending hundreds a month on a bookkeeper to sort through receipts, reconcile sales, and prepare everything before it goes to the accountant. All because your current system can't produce clean records.

GemJam Solution: Bookkeeper-Ready Records, Automatically

  • Every purchase and sale recorded with full audit trail
  • Automatic profit calculations with VAT margin scheme applied
  • Export-ready reports your accountant can use directly
  • No middleman needed between you and your accountant

Why We Built GemJam

GemJam was founded by a UK jewellery dealer who spent years trying to make generic inventory software work for the unique demands of the trade—VAT margin scheme calculations, provenance tracking, multi-channel sales.

Nothing fit. Spreadsheets couldn't handle VAT margin scheme properly. Airtable needed expensive Zapier integrations just to send an invoice. Generic inventory systems were built for warehouses, not unique items with provenance.

So we built something purpose-made for dealers of unique items—where every piece has its own story, provenance, and price. Every feature exists because a real dealer needed it.

The result: software that actually understands how you work.
