Jewelry Traceability FAQ

Jewelry Traceability Software: Questions Jewelers Ask

Answers about tracking precious metals, gemstones, work-in-process, and documentation with BellHawk and MilramX.

What is jewelry traceability software?

Jewelry traceability software is a system that records where precious metals, gemstones, findings, tools, and finished pieces are at every step, from receiving through casting, setting, polishing, quality review, and shipment. KnarrTek’s BellHawk and MilramX platforms capture each movement by barcode or RFID so jewelers keep one accurate record of inventory, production status, and documentation.

How does BellHawk track precious metals and gemstones?
