SwarnaVyapar vs Excel for Jewellery Shops
Spreadsheets are incredibly flexible and free. But when it comes to weight-based billing, GST compliance, and barcode inventory for a jewellery store, they often require complex formulas and constant maintenance.
| Feature | SwarnaVyapar | Excel / Google Sheets |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | Minutes (Ready to use) | Days (Building templates & formulas) |
| Purity & Weight Fields | Manual columns only | |
| QR / Barcode Inventory | ||
| GST Invoice Generation | 1-click | Manual formatting |
| Gold Schemes (Bishi) | Automated tracking | Complex manual tracking |
| Girvi (Gold Loan) | Built-in interest calc | Requires custom formulas |

Note: Excel and Google Sheets are fantastic, versatile tools. If you are extremely comfortable with macros, VLOOKUPs, and designing your own database logic, you can build a decent system in Excel. SwarnaVyapar is for those who want a system that is ready for jewellery operations from day one.
