Bead Manager Pro 4 Upgrade

Jewelry Software - February 21, 2010 - By: Laura Kay

If one of your resolutions this year is to finally start turning your jewelry making hobby into a business, then it might be a good time to take a serious look at the latest version of Bead Manager Pro! I’ve written about Bead Manager Pro before, but they just released version 4 which adds a lot of features that make it even easier to use and customize than previous versions.

I’ve written about all the features any jewelry software should include and Bead Manager Pro has all those as well as lots of “convenience” and usability upgrades that allow you to use the program to your advantage. Here are some of the more prominent improvements that will help you spend more time making jewelry and less time worrying about the inventory and financial side of your jewelry business:

  • Customizable list views that allow you to add, widen and even move columns of data around.
  • Duplicate parts option, which allow you to enter your inventory much more quickly.
  • Quick search filtering options that allow you to efficiently look through a large inventory of beads and jewelry pieces.
  • Added jewelry calculators which allow you to discover your profit and loss as well as an hourly rate calculator for more accurate pricing.

There have also been some “behind-the-scenes” database changes with the intent of making Bead Manager Pro more stable and run more efficiently. Remember, Bead Manager Pro is one of the only jewelry software programs that will run on an Apple Mac as well as a Windows PC.

What about all of us who have already bought and purchased the program in the past? We can get the new version of Bead Manager Pro for free by following a special link that should have been emailed to you. You can contact support if you have issues. The upgrade is completely free and after you install it and your current database should automatically be upgraded.

You don’t necessarily need jewelry software to run a home-based jewelry making business, but it certainly helps your business grow more quickly by giving you a tool that produces professional invoices, calculates proper pricing and helps manager your large inventory of beads and supplies in a relatively quick and easy manner that is head and shoulders above using pencil and paper!
