FAQs

Find answers to common questions and learn more about how we can help you.

Why is my inventory increasing across designs/grades even though business is moving?

Because stock planning in this industry is driven more by assumptions than data leading to mismatch between what is made, bought, or exported and what actually sells.
Stratefix Consulting helps create demand-linked planning and stock visibility systems, so inventory becomes controlled, predictable, and faster-moving.

Why do orders/custom pieces often get delayed even when work is happening?

Delays across cutting, setting, QC, polishing or dispatch are common when multiple teams or artisans work without structured coordination.
Stratefix Consulting builds workflow clarity and cross-department routines so orders move on time from one stage to the next without surprises.

Why is the business too dependent on a few key artisans, karigars, graders, or senior staff?

Because knowledge, skill and decision-making sit with individuals instead of systems making the business fragile.
Stratefix Consulting helps create SOPs, skill-building, and second-line capability so the business stays stable even if key people change.

Why do some designs, categories or grade segments perform well while others fail repeatedly?

Because product and assortment decisions are often based on taste and tradition, not customer movement, region-wise demand or data.
Stratefix Consulting helps align design/production with market insights, so you produce, stock, and promote what actually sells.

Why is customer experience inconsistent across sales teams, branches or export clients?

Customer handling varies when processes and expectations are not standardised across channels or locations.
Stratefix Consulting helps build unified sales behaviour, service standards and follow-up systems so every customer receives the same trust-building experience.

When should a diamond/jewelry business consider consulting support?

When growth increases complexity, stock becomes uncontrollable, teams work in silos, or the owner must intervene everywhere consulting support becomes the right choice.
Stratefix Consulting brings structure, clarity and execution discipline that helps any diamond/jewelry business scale with confidence.
