GemFind Adds REPS to Its App Lineup

Technology-based marketing solutions company GemFind has partnered with ad agency Harmon Group to add Reliable Electronic Product Sales, or REPS, to its lineup of apps. By using REPS, a manufacturer can put its entire jewelry and product line on an iPad, which allows jewelers to make sales presentations while only having to carry an abbreviated line of products.

REPS promises to help streamline the sales process, simplify customer relationship management, eliminate mistakes, and increase order accuracy. Its ability to store and display an entire line in digital form helps to reduce product cost and can lower the need for insurance.

“We are exceptionally pleased to be partnering with GemFind for the distribution of REPS,” said Harmon Group CEO Rick Arnemann in a press release. “Both Harmon and GemFind share the same high level of integrity, with a focus on quality, innovation, and client synergy, making this the perfect integration of our marketing and presentation skills and their technical capabilities.”

To learn more about REPS, which complements GemFind’s JewelCloud application, visit gemfind.com. GemFind will also be demonstrating the app at JCK LUXURY, June 2–8, at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, booth L203.
