A great deal of effort has gone into making the WinJewel program easy to use. At the same time the completeness of the program in running a jewelry business has not been compromised. If you can think of any function that is performed or needed in a jewelry business - it probably is included in WinJewel.
WinJewel is currently running in more than 1200 jewelry businesses worldwide. Some with only 1 computer all the way to one store with 34 computers using the WinJewel "Multi-user" version. Many small chains of jewelry stores use the "Multi-store" version of WinJewel that allows up to 99 branch stores to update each other's sales and inventory information daily. WinJewel can use the internet (If you have a fast connection) to have all stores in the chain reacting live and in real-time with the main office or store.
