IDEX Onsite: Your Own Billion-Dollar Inventory

In any trade, it is hard to have all the goods you need on hand exactly when you want them. In the diamond industry, where prices can be prohibitive for traders, maintaining a well-stocked inventory can be a problem. Sitting on unsold stock causes a blockage in the flow of finances and having access to goods of an exact specification is not always possible.

Understanding the problem of maintaining inventory, while preserving cash flow, IDEX Online devised the IDEX Onsite service allowing traders to tap into the IDEX Online inventory, which is valued at over $4 billion, without laying out big bucks.

IDEX Onsite allows users – big and small alike – to incorporate the IDEX Online search engine into their own website giving buyers access to thousands upon thousands of diamonds.

The service gives consumers access to the entire IDEX Online inventory directly from the retailer’s website without having to deal with any third parties. Buyers need never know that the seller does not actually have all of the listed diamonds in stock. Best of all, from the seller’s perspective, the design of the IDEX Onsite feed on their website can be adapted to fit in with their existing corporate design.

The IDEX Onsite service allows users a wide-range of customization features. As well as choosing a color scheme and design template to match their company’s identity, users can apply their own pricing scheme to the goods they offer by defining a percentage mark up for all inventories displayed. They can choose their own inventory characteristics by customizing inventories to feature diamonds by cut, carat, clarity or color. And, by picking preferred suppliers, sellers can display diamonds only from the suppliers of their choice, giving full independence over whom they work with.

Once the user is happy with all of their design and feature choices, they save their design and then simply copy and paste a piece of HTML code into their own website allowing them to immediately start trading with IDEX Onsite. Everything is explained on the site allowing even users without programming experience to easily add IDEX Onsite to their website.

In design, there is always room for improvement and the system is set up so that users can constantly modify their online store until they find the exact design and inventory features that work most effectively for them.

Users without a website of their own can opt to use both the IDEX Online inventory feed and the IDEX Online search engine, while those who already have a web presence can use just the inventory feed for a lower monthly price.

To ensure that buyer always have the widest possible choice of goods available to them, IDEX Onsite inventories are automatically updated by suppliers on IDEX Online – and these updated are transferred to the IDEX Onsite customers in real-time. This means that for those using the IDEX Onsite Search Engine, there is absolutely no delay in displaying newly added goods. For those who choose to use the IDEX Onsite feed, automatic updated are provided several times a day.
