The problem

Consignment selling should add revenue — not extra paperwork.

More and more jewellers sell jewellery on behalf of private owners. It is an attractive way to widen your range without buying the items first. But as soon as you handle several consignment items at once, the paperwork quickly gets out of hand.

Many jewellers still track consignment items with:

  • Loose paperwork
  • Excel files
  • Handwritten agreements
  • Scattered photos
  • Manual commission calculations
  • Separate sets of records

And weeks later the questions start:

  • Who did this piece belong to?
  • What selling price was agreed?
  • What commission does the jeweller receive?
  • Has the item already been sold?
  • How much must be paid out to the owner?
  • Which consignment items are still in the shop?
  • How much revenue and commission did the sale generate?

PrismaNote brings structure to the whole process — so your team can focus on customers and sales instead of chasing scattered paperwork.

Consignment software built for jewellers

Designed around how jewellery shops really work.

Consignment selling works differently from regular inventory management for jewellers. The item comes from a private owner but is sold by your shop. PrismaNote keeps that information together in one workflow — from the moment a private owner offers a piece to the final sale and settlement.

No separate system for consignment sales. Simply part of your complete jewellery software.

  • Register jewellery from private owners instantly
  • Link owners to their consignment items
  • Record selling prices and commission agreements
  • Manage consignment items clearly
  • Sell items through your normal POS
  • Make sales and commission transparent
  • Keep records and documentation in one place
In three steps

From intake to payout — visible in the shop.

How it works

One workflow from intake to sale.

1

Register jewellery from private owners in seconds

A private owner brings a piece of jewellery to your shop and wants to sell it through your store. With PrismaNote you register the consignment item straight from your POS system. You record the key details and link the item to its owner. Everything is stored centrally.

How it works:

  • Open consignment items
  • Register the piece
  • Link the owner
  • Record the sales agreement
  • Add relevant documentation
2

Record selling price and commission up front

With consignment selling you want clarity about the selling price and your shop's fee before the item goes on display. PrismaNote keeps the agreement on file, so your team always knows the terms under which the item is sold. No loose notes on paper and no calculations afterwards.

You keep an overview of:

  • Selling price
  • Commission
  • Owner
  • Product details
  • Intake date
  • Sales status
3

Keep every consignment item under control

Once a piece is registered it stays linked to the right owner and sales information. You always know which items are in your shop on behalf of private owners and which have already been sold. That matters most when you handle several consignment items at once.

PrismaNote helps you track:

  • Which items are on consignment
  • Who owns the items
  • Which items are still available
  • Which items are sold
  • Which sales agreements were made

Sell consignment items through your normal POS

When a customer buys a consignment piece you do not need a separate sales process. The item is sold through the PrismaNote POS just like any other product in your range. Scan the item, choose the payment method and complete the sale. The sale is linked to the existing registration automatically.

5

Commission and settlement handled clearly

After a sale you want to know immediately what the proceeds are and how much is due to the owner. PrismaNote keeps the sales data and the agreed commission together, so the split of the proceeds is easy to see.

That means:

  • Less manual calculation
  • Fewer mistakes
  • Clear agreements
  • Tidy records
  • Faster settlement
6

All documentation attached to the item

When selling jewellery from private owners, extra documentation can matter. With PrismaNote you keep the relevant information with the registration, so details are not scattered across paper files, phones and loose folders.

For example:

  • Product photos
  • Documentation of the piece
  • Agreements with the owner
  • Supporting files
  • Product details
7

Full insight into your consignment sales

You want to know more than which pieces are still in the shop — you also want insight into what actually sells. PrismaNote brings the relevant sales information together so you stay in control of your consignment items and their results.

PrismaNote gives you insight into:

  • Selling prices
  • Commission
  • Sold items
  • Sales dates
  • Owners
  • Stock
  • Transactions
  • Sales results
