The software for jewelry brands that manufacture externally

It is a tool built for the party placing the orders, not for the retail counter nor for the in-house workshop. A jewelry brand designs, has pieces made, then sells. Its software therefore has to cover the catalogue and its variations, the manufacturing orders placed with outside workshops, production tracking, consigned metal, the statutory register and invoicing. Retail point-of-sale software handles the counter sale; a workshop ERP handles an in-house workshop. Neither covers the relationship with third-party manufacturers.

An ERP runs ONE company: its stock, its entries, its users. Liink runs the RELATIONSHIP between two companies. A manufacturing order exists in both organisations at once: the brand creates it, the manufacturer carries it out, and each sees the same order with what concerns them. That boundary is what ERPs do not model — they stop at the legal perimeter of the company, and everything beyond it reverts to email and spreadsheets.

That is the primary use case. Liink was built for brands whose production is carried out externally, in whole or in part. If you also have an in-house workshop, the two models coexist: pieces made on your premises and those consigned to partners follow the same catalogue, the same production tracking and the same statutory register.

No. Manufacturers invited by a brand use Liink free of charge. It is a founding principle, and it is also what makes adoption possible: you do not have to talk a workshop into taking out a subscription in order to work with you. A coordination tool is only worth anything if both sides are actually on it.

The order still works. You can work with a manufacturer who has not signed up: the order is created on your side and the partner consults it through a dedicated tracking link, without creating an account. The same applies to material transfers. You are never held back by a partner's pace of adoption, and you keep traceability on your side.

You create a request for quotation once, with its lines and specifications, then send it to several manufacturers. Each workshop answers within Liink with its price, its lead time and any reservations. The answers appear side by side, line by line, which makes comparison possible on a genuinely identical scope. The chosen answer converts into an order without retyping; the others stay in the history.

It is the workshop that updates the stage as the work goes — CAD, casting, assembly, setting, polishing, quality control — and attaches its photos. You check progress whenever you like, without chasing, and the photos stay attached to the order, viewable months later. Overdue or approaching deadlines surface as alerts, so you can warn your client before they call.

Yes. Each brand ↔ manufacturer relationship has its own weight account, and each metal its own. The balance is kept in fine weight, which lets you compare a 24-carat shipment and an 18-carat consumption on the same basis. On delivery, the account is debited by the weight actually measured — never by an estimate — stones deducted. Shipments, returns and physical transfers feed the statutory register in parallel.

Each keeps their own. In France, the obligation applies to anyone holding precious materials in the course of their profession — article L. 834-6 of the Code de commerce, supplemented by articles 56 J quaterdecies to 56 J octodecies of annex IV to the tax code. A manufacturer is not relieved of their register because the party placing the order keeps one, and the reverse is equally true. In Liink, each organisation has its own register, fed automatically by its own physical movements.

Brand plans start at €99/month, with no set-up fee and no commitment, and a 15-day free trial. The entry plan is sized for a brand starting out with a first partner workshop; the multi-workshop quote comparison and the number of connected partners increase with the higher plans. On the manufacturer side, access stays free on a brand's invitation.
