Where Marg is strong
- Accounting. Marg's roots are in accounting and GST, and the jewellery edition builds on that.
- Jewellery basics done well. Hallmark tracking, goldsmith management, purity-wise billing, live metal rates and barcode tagging.
- Low price and a large support network across India.
If you already use Marg in another business, or accounting is your first concern, Marg is a natural fit.
Where E-Ratna is different
- Diamonds in depth. Stock by every grade and certificate, lab send and receive, and Rapaport-linked price matrices with bulk revision.
- Memo and consignment with ageing by party and part returns.
- Manufacturing. Diamond rough to polished, and jewellery job bags with karigar metal loss on every job.
- Export. Invoices in the buyer's currency and export under LUT.
Which should you choose?
- Choose Marg if you are an accounting-first jewellery shop that wants a low price and a familiar Indian brand.
- Choose E-Ratna if diamonds, memo, manufacturing or export are a real part of your business.
