The software has an easy to use account receivable feature for revolving or installment accounts that allows us to offer in house financing and report consumer credit profiles to credit bureaus. Simply, there is not a single software out there that will meet ALL of your needs. JCS is fully equipped and still willing to facilitate custom work to make sure every company needs are met. Feel free to contact us directly. I will gladly get on a call with anyone interested in hearing more about our experience with JCS. Cons To this day I can not think of a single con.

JCS has kept up with the jewelry industry and updated their software to meet all our needs from POS, inventory control, accounting, reporting, customer relations, repairs, layaway's, appraisals, accounts receivable and many more. We have detailed history for every customer and their purchases at our fingertips. The customer relationship management program allows us to do extensive internal marketing by generating reports or mailing labels. We love the texting feature within our repair system. It allows us to text our customers when their repair is ready with a click of a button. Pricing our inventory with the bar code system allows us to keep track and makes doing inventory a snap. JCS also integrates with QuickBooks. We are able to post sales daily with a click of a button. This program is so user friendly it enables us to train new employees with ease. There are too many functions to elaborate. The customer service Craig has provided has been impeccable. He is always there for us day or night. He is always willing to go the extra mile to add programs for our specific needs. Sissy's Log Cabin has grown from one to four stores in the past 5 years and the JCS program and Craig's knowledge helped us accommodate this growth. I have personally used this software from the beginning and I will be happy to discuss the JCS program with you at any time. It is a great product and has been very beneficial to our company.
