How Jewelry Repairs Should Be Managed in 2025
Transform your repair workflow from chaotic paper trails to a structured, transparent, and effortless digital process that delights both jewelers and customers.
Repairs shouldn't be chaotic. In 2025, there's no excuse for lost paper notes, forgotten items in drawers, or time-wasting phone calls that disrupt your workflow. The jewelry repair process can and should be revolutionized with technology that creates transparency, efficiency, and peace of mind for everyone involved.
The Problems with Traditional Repair Management
- • Lost paper claim tickets and scribbled notes
- • Items forgotten in drawers for weeks
- • Time-consuming phone calls for status updates
- • Disputes about item condition and repair quality
- • No clear tracking or accountability
At Gem Logic, we believe in a repair process that's structured, transparent, and effortless. Here's our vision for how jewelry repairs should be managed in 2025, with technology that makes the entire process smoother for both jewelers and customers.
The Modern 10-Step Repair Process
From drop-off to pickup, every step is digitized, tracked, and transparent
Customer Drops Off the Item
The process begins the moment your customer walks in. Instead of reaching for a paper form, you're ready with a digital system that captures every detail accurately and professionally.

Digital Registration in System
No more scribbled notes or paper forms. The repair is registered directly in your system with all relevant details: customer information, item description, repair needs, estimated completion date, and pricing.
What Gets Recorded:
- • Customer contact details
- • Item description and condition
- • Repair requirements
- • Estimated cost and timeline
Benefits:
- • No handwriting interpretation needed
- • All information in one place
- • Searchable and organized
- • Automated workflows triggered
"Before" Photo Documentation
A high-quality "before" photo is taken for full traceability. This protects both you and your customer by documenting the exact condition of the item when it was received.
Why Documentation Matters
For the Store:
- • Protection against liability claims
- • Clear record of item condition
- • Evidence for insurance purposes
For the Customer:
- • Confidence in professional handling
- • Visual record they can reference
- • Transparency in the process
Instant Digital Confirmation
While the customer is still in your store, they receive instant email and SMS confirmation with all repair details. No more paper claim tickets to lose – the confirmation lives in their phone as a permanent digital record.
Email Confirmation Includes:
- • Repair order number and details
- • Estimated completion date
- • Before photo of the item
- • Pricing breakdown
- • Store contact information
SMS Features:
- • Quick confirmation message
- • Link to full repair details
- • Unique pickup QR code
- • Direct line to your store
- • Automatic status updates
Smart Repair Label with QR Code
A comprehensive repair label is printed that includes item details, customer photo, and QR code for internal tracking. This replaces handwritten tags with professional, scannable labels.

Repair: Ring Sizing (Size 6 → Size 7)

Scan to Track
The QR code links directly to the repair record, allowing any staff member to instantly access all details with a simple scan.
Secure Transparent Storage
The item is placed in a sturdy, transparent ziplock bag with the repair label attached. This modern approach is far superior to old-school paper envelopes.

Tracked Internal Repair Process
The item moves through your internal repair workflow with complete tracking. Status updates are logged automatically, giving you and your customer real-time visibility into progress.
Typical Repair Workflow Statuses:
"After" Photo Documentation
Before the item is marked as ready, a "completed" photo is taken showing the final result. This eliminates discussions or misunderstandings about the quality of work performed.
