The IJC vision is to create an unparalleled level of one on one support, a true partnership, ensuring independents stay relevant to the upcoming generations of jewellery buyers. By re-educating, rejuvenating and elevating jewellers and supply partners on a new journey of modern retailing, aligning them with vital business checkups, recommended proven strategies and critical best practice initiatives.
IJC Vault
We have a simple business model that rewards our partners every time they utilise our exclusive ‘Ezi-billing’ network, of preferred suppliers to receive maximum trade discounts. We provide points for every dollar our partners spend to access our exclusive partner rewards program of services. Uniquely you – through our years of extensive experience, we know no two businesses are alike. The IJC Vault allows partners access to all the essentials needed to thrive in today’s modern jewellery landscape, when they need it most.
IJC Dashboard & Ezi-Billing Portal
Everyone at IJC lives and breathes independent retailing and we understand jewellers are extremely time poor. We have invested in a superior Ezi-Billing central billing facility, that allows our partners to see all their transactions in a one stop shop. The most time saving benefit is that our facility is directly linked to the retailer’s backend MYOB and Xero accounting software with 24/7 support. In addition, this facility includes our exclusive Partner Dashboard, keeping everything at their fingertips, including exclusive comms forums, industry links, training platforms, and more.
