I
can thoroughly recommend the Bransom system as
a highly reliable, flexible system which is constantly
updated with the latest technology. Since 1994
we have needed only two on-site visits and the
telephone support we have received has been polite,
conclusive and very professional. An excellent
product very well supported.

Important Relationships. Bransom have forged important relationships with many of the leading companies, trade associations and buying groups associated with the jewellery trade including: NAG, BJA, CMJ, Consortia, GVJ, AJA, TH March and Polygon.

Stephen Pomerance, Stephen Pomerance Jewellers . Thanks for your help with the data base system we now can run our loyalty cards through Bransom and keep complete control. We are 23% up this year and thank you for helping us to achieve this increase.
Mike Rice, Hugh Rice Jewellers. We bought a system that was supposed to be written for the jewellery trade, but were unhappy with both its ability to cope with our business and the aftersales support. We changed to Bransom, and the difference has been vast. They have the product and infrastructure to support our expanding business, and we have been delighted with the Bransom as a company.
Chris Stoner, Stoner Jewellery. Implementing a new computerised stock system and customer marketing system was always going to be a lot of work. Thankfully our hands were held by the fantastic support team at Bransom. Although we have had some issues and problems to solve they have been dealt with effectively and quickly by the people at Bransom. Special thanks to Sandra and Rob for extremely patient training sessions and excellent technical advice.
Bill Ferris - Swag Jewellers. My initial thoughts before I bought the Bransom package were that it
was expensive and maybe a bit dated and therefore more difficult to
move forward.
The system has turned out to be excellent. It is laid out very well and
the report side should satisfy everyone. I work continuously with it
and it's a pleasure to use - user friendly.
Assuming that other systems can do many or all of the Bransom package
functions the main benefit is Bransom itself.
The Bransom management and support staff and excellent, friendly,
helpful and knowledgeable
Dave Shone - Emson-Haig Jeweller. With our six tills on a wireless network at Lakeside the management team have all the necessary information to provide an excellent customer service and the management
tool allows me to monitor the business from anywhere. The installation
and training provided by Bransom was both professional and effective
meaning all our staff have adapted quickly. It is very important to
have an IT company that understands our business and provides such a
high level of service.
Peter Vandome - T H Baker. It’s great to have a system designed specifically for jewellers, not an add on. Bransom are obviously part of the fabric of the jewellery industry – and their staff really care – a great bunch to work with! We especially appreciate the clear 1 page reports. The company is obviously run by enthusiastic people who are passionate about their products
Alan Higgs - T H Baker. Installing the Bransom system was the best decision we have made in years
Stephen Brown,
Stephen Pomerance Jewellers. The staff on the helpdesk are always helpful, polite
and above all have an exceptional knowledge of the Bransom
system This is a far cry from our first stock system,
which crashed daily without fail, sometimes we could
wait days for a return call and in some cases a solution
for a problem was never found. This is the main reason
why we now use the Bransom system and we are very pleased
to be associated with it and would not have any hesitation
in recommending it to anyone who wishes to change systems.
Sheila Wells - Wells & Co Fine Jewellers. In the year that we have now been using the Bransom system it has proved to be an excellent all round package. Offering stock management, precise accounts and an efficient user friendly repairs service.
Phillip Ainsworth - Ainsworth
Jewellers. We are so impressed with
both Sandra and the whole training day we had at the
end of October. Sandra really made the whole day so
much easier especially when we were confronted with
the very daunting looking program. She explained it
so thoroughly and in easy terms it made entering the
stock not look too bad at all. Credit must given that
after her training for one day we have managed to enter
so much without any problems. We look forward to welcoming
her back in the New Year for our second training day.
Michael
Cornelius - Michael Cornelius Jewellers. I have found the Bransom system to be an invaluable
tool to assist me in the running of my business. Made
all the better by the excellent training together with
the friendly and patient support team who always demonstrate
a total willingness to answer questions and queries
that occur from time to time.
Ruth Rock, Rock Jewellers We were impressed by the staff training and how promptly calls are returned – Bransom have exceeded our expectations.
Nick Finch - Nicholas James. We love the Bransom system for its detailed reporting – we can easily check what’s hot and what’s not. We also use the customer database frequently to send out specific targeted mail shots. We love the simplicity of printing out Valuation Certificates with photographs of jewellery – always a hit with customers.
Gerry Bohan - Fields Jewellers. Bransom understand the immense detail required in jewellery retail, their support team are most helpful and they have been an integral part in the expansion of Fields over the last 15 years.
Danny
George - The Cashop. Bransom have a great
stock system but if I have to compliment them on one
thing it has to be the staff on the help desk - I fully
appreciate how important and good the service is having
experience with other systems. The level of support
goes way past my expectations and the telephone support
staff are just so friendly, helpful, understanding and
knowledgeable. The level of patience by every member
is brilliant, it encourages me to call.
John Henn, T
A Henn Jewellers. Fifteen
years ago we were a Bransom user and didn't really believe
we were in charge of our own destiny, and subsequently we
dropped the system.
Now we are back with them, and the new software and support
is marvellous. If you are thinking about a system and
want someone to hold your hand whilst squeezing it a
little less than everyone else, ask these people for
a demonstration. It really does appear to be as straightforward
as it says on the box.
Jonathan
Lambert, Jonathan Lambert Fine Jewellery. Thank
you for the flowers to mark our 1st anniversary in Sudbury,
a very kind thought and much appreciated. Also a very
appropriate moment to thank you for the support and
guidance you have given us over the last few months
and we look forward to many more happy years using the
Bransom system.
Marcus Goodall,
Head of Member Services, National Association of Goldsmiths This
has to be possibly the most useful and practical product
to hit the jewellery trade for years. Security is always
an issue within our trade, and devices like this close
another potential stock-loss loophole.
Andrew
Hirshman - Plymouth Goldsmiths. A
must for all jewellers, this stock taking device saves
us an incredible amount of time and is far more accurate.
From a customer point of view, when we are working on
the shop floor we now look more professional than when
we used a manual system. Great value for money!
Dermot
Hay - David Morris International, Selfridges. We have been with Bransom for nearly
20 years; like Bransom we pride ourselves on providing
our customers with the highest level of customer service
and satisfaction. As with any business we have to be
efficient and profitable. Meeting these requirements
together with ever increasing demands of our customers
would be impossible without Bransom repair system.
Dominic Wakefield - Wakefields, Horsham. Bransom's
Imaging system has proved very useful for identification of stock,
printing customer enquiries and listing individual claims for insurance
documents. I use it every day and wouldn't be without it!
Miriam Foley - Hilser Bros,
Cork. We looked at many systems.
Bransom was the only company that could offer us the
support and training we required. The system has allowed
us to manage our stock more effectively and improve
sales by having the right information at the right time.
No jewellery business should be without the Bransom
system.
Kevin
Coleman - Baker Bros. Bransom have
continued to provide an excellent service to our members
and we are happy to continue to recommend the company
and their system.
Nicholas
Wainwright - Boodle & Dunthorne. Bransom
systems give a very detailed Gross Profit Analysis,
resulting in more accurate monthly accounting and removing
the uncertainty of an annual audit.
Michael
Hyman - Hyman Group An excellent
system which in a very short period of time has proved
to be invaluable. The system continually highlights
the profitable and unprofitable areas of the business
and has definitely helped with buying.
Pam Johnson - Johnson Jewellers. The support service Bransom have given
us over the years has been second to none.
Peter
Carry - Jamieson & Carry Jewellers In
our opinion, it is an efficient business tool that is
of definite advantage to the operation of a single-shop
jewellery outlet. Any Retail Jeweller is almost certain
to profit from time spent looking at the Bransom System.
Jack
Murphy - Jack Murphy Jewellers. Tight
stock control and better sales analysis has helped me
identify my best performing lines and greatly improve
our stock turn in these areas. We've all heard about
the 80/20 syndrome, the Bransom system will help identify
them.
John
Wilson - Knights Jewellers, Dundee. Within a year my sales increased by 45% and profits
by 105%. At the same time I reduced my stock holding.
Colin
Westwood - Financial Controller - Pragnells Jewellers. The Bransom stock control module has now been
an invaluable resource to us in managing Pragnells for
nearly 9 years. It is difficult to even imagine how
we operated without the extensive information provided
by the system on sales, gross profits and stocks. We
have also employed the customer database module for
the last 6 years and now have considerable detail, which
assists hugely in providing focus for our marketing
initiatives.
We have always found Bransom's support staff helpful
and the directors are constantly looking to implement
new applications or develop existing modules, which
demonstrates their forward-thinking attitude.
