Inventory intelligence for jewelry

Know what every piece is worth. Know what to make next.

Oronex shows jewelry brands how much money sits in their stock, what empty shelves cost them, and exactly what to produce before the holidays. Every number comes with the formula behind it.

The problem

Retail loses more to bad inventory than it earns.

Too little stock and the customer buys elsewhere. Too much and the cash sits in a safe until markdowns eat the margin. Most of it starts with records that don't match what is actually on the shelf.

$1.7T

Lost worldwide each year to out-of-stocks and overstocks, about 6.2% of all retail sales.

⅔

Of that loss comes from empty shelves: sales that never happened and never show up in a report.

63%

Average retail inventory accuracy. One in three stock records is simply wrong.

Source: IHL Group, inventory distortion research, 2026.

High value per unit

A wrong forecast doesn't waste shelf space. It ties up gold and stones worth thousands.

Slow, sparse sales

Most styles sell a few pieces a week. Generic forecasting tools break on that data.

One season decides the year

Black Friday to Christmas carries the year, and production takes 60 to 120 days.

Stock in many places

FBA, your own warehouse, retailers on memo, returns. The books rarely agree with Amazon.


The product

Three answers every jewelry CEO needs.

Oronex turns your inventory and sales files into three screens. Each one ends in a decision with a date and a dollar figure, not another chart to interpret.

Inventory value

How much money is in my stock, and how much of it is stuck?

Every piece valued at cost and at today's metal price, sorted by how long it has gone without a sale.

  • Stock at cost, by location and by age
  • Melt value from gold and silver weight
  • A suggested action for every product: keep, melt, mark down or liquidate

What you see

You have $19,620 in pieces that haven't sold in 12+ months. 3 are worth more melted than you paid for them.

Stockout cost

How much did empty shelves cost me?

For every period a product was out of stock, Oronex estimates the sales you missed at the speed it sold while in stock.

  • Lost units and lost revenue per product, worst first
  • Out-of-stock days never counted as low demand
  • Holiday stockouts flagged as a lower bound

Example · Jul 1 to Sep 30

Chain 18in · 30 days out$17,201.61
Halo pendant · 22 days out$13,878.86
Drop earrings · 30 days out$2,641.94
Total lost$33,722.41

Season plan

What should I produce, how many, and by when?

Set the season, your production lead time and a revenue goal. Oronex works back to a dated plan: what to send from the warehouse, what to make, and the last day to start.

  • Warehouse transfers first, new production second
  • "Start by" dates, with late items flagged in red
  • Override any quantity; both numbers are kept

Example · Nov 15 to Dec 31

Halo pendant · produce 174start by Oct 16
Hoop earrings · send 40, produce 161start by Oct 16
Chain 18in · produce 47late · arrives Nov 20

The melt floor

A ring is never worth zero.

Generic inventory software treats slow stock as dead stock. Jewelry has a floor: the metal in every piece, priced today. Oronex puts that floor next to your cost, so melting can show up as profit instead of only a write-off.

41710K
58514K
75018K
925STERLING
melt per piece =
gold grams × purity × gold price per gram
+ silver grams × silver price per gram

example · 14K solitaire, 2.80 g, gold $4,000/oz
2.80 × 0.585 × $128.60 = $210.65
cost $210.00 → melt beats cost
Melt

Metal is worth more than the piece cost. Free the cash and recast into styles that sell.

Mark down

Live on Amazon, metal worth less than cost. Lower the price and sell it before the next season.

List or liquidate

Sitting in the warehouse, not selling anywhere. Send it to Amazon or move it out before it costs another season.

How it works

From your files to a decision.

No integration project to start. Your team, or ours, uploads the exports you already have. Direct Amazon and Shopify connections come next.

Step 1

Upload

Your inventory, sales history and out-of-stock periods in one standard workbook.

Step 2

Check

Every row is validated. Errors come back with the sheet, column and row, and nothing loads half-way.

Step 3

See

Stock value, stockout cost and the season plan, with the formula behind every figure.

Step 4

Decide

Approve, adjust or override. Export the plan for your factory in Excel or PDF.


How we build it

Numbers you can check by hand.

Jewelry data is sparse, and owners know their products. So Oronex is a transparent calculator that recommends, not a black box that decides.

Every number shows its work

Click any figure to see the formula and the inputs it used. Saved plans keep the exact file, metal price and settings, so they re-run to the same result.

You decide, Oronex recommends

The system suggests 2,000 units, you know the factory makes 850. Type 850. Both numbers are kept, so over time you can see who was right.

Blank is never zero

A missing cost or price is shown as missing and counted, never quietly valued at $0 to make a total look complete.

Out of stock isn't low demand

Days a product couldn't sell are removed from its selling speed, so your best sellers aren't under-ordered next season.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about what Oronex does and how jewelry brands use it.

What is Oronex?

Oronex is inventory intelligence software for jewelry brands. It shows how much money is tied up in your stock, how much you lost when products were out of stock, and what to produce, how many, and by when to meet your holiday sales goal.

Who is Oronex for?

Jewelry makers, jewelry brands selling on Amazon and Shopify, and jewelry wholesalers, from small catalogs to thousands of SKUs. It is built for stock split across Amazon FBA, your own warehouse, memo and returns.

What is a melt floor?

The melt floor is what the metal in a piece of jewelry is worth at today's gold and silver price. Oronex calculates it from gold grams, karat purity (10K = 0.417, 14K = 0.585, 18K = 0.750) and silver grams, and compares it with your cost to suggest whether to keep, melt, mark down or liquidate slow stock.

How does Oronex calculate lost sales from stockouts?

It measures how fast each product sold on the days it was in stock, then multiplies that speed by the number of days it was out of stock and by its price. Out-of-stock days are never counted as low demand. Stockouts during the holiday season are labeled a lower bound, because real demand was higher than normal.

Do I need to connect Amazon or Shopify?

No. In the beta you upload a standard workbook with your inventory, sales history and out-of-stock periods. Direct Amazon and Shopify imports are next on the roadmap.

Does Oronex use AI to make decisions for me?

Oronex recommends and you decide. Every number shows the formula and inputs behind it, and you can override any quantity. An AI assistant that explains why a product ran out or stopped selling is on the roadmap, and routine decisions will only be automated within limits you set.
