Overview

Diamnet, a UK-based platform, connects retailers with over 1.2 million diamonds from global suppliers and enables custom jewelry creation. We enhanced their platform by focusing on managing diamond inventory, improving retailer tools, and enhancing customer experience. Our work included automating tasks like data syncing and inventory imports while ensuring speed and reliability.

Using nopCommerce, we built a solid foundation for handling large data volumes and introduced features like the “build a ring” tool, enabling personalized shopping. These improvements made Diamnet’s platform more efficient and reliable for retailers.

About the Client

Diamnet is a leading UK platform offering a vast selection of over 1.2 million diamonds from various suppliers worldwide. It provides tools for retailers to source diamonds, customize jewelry, and stay competitive against online-only sellers.

Founded by Howard Levine, a veteran of the diamond industry, Diamnet has evolved over the years to meet the needs of modern retailers. Diamnet offers both natural and lab-grown diamonds and helps retailers create finished jewelry under the Hayes & Lake brand. The platform is also working on future features like Omni-Channel Selling to further enhance the shopping experience for both retailers and their customers.

Project Goal

The goal of this project was to improve Diamnet’s platform by making it more reliable and user-friendly for retailers. Diamnet aimed to provide easy access to up-to-date diamond inventories, real-time data synchronization from multiple suppliers, and tools to enhance customer shopping experiences.

One key feature added was an API allowing retailers to integrate a “build a ring” tool on their websites, enabling customers to customize rings, boosting engagement and sales. We also automated the process of importing and syncing diamond inventory data to ensure retailers had accurate, real-time information without manual updates.

Using nopCommerce, we built a flexible system that handled bulk data imports, daily synchronization of over 800,000 records, and real-time updates, making the platform faster, more efficient, and helping retailers stay competitive.

The Challenge

Integrating data from multiple suppliers and managing large-scale inventories presented a significant challenge. Diamnet’s platform needed real-time synchronization while handling bulk data imports without delays. Maintaining data accuracy and ensuring the platform’s reliability required a robust automation framework. The complexity of creating seamless retailer integrations, like the “build a ring” tool, added another layer of technical challenges. Our goal was to implement these features efficiently while ensuring the platform remained fast, scalable, and easy to manage.

Our Approach & Solution

Bulk Data Import

We created an automatic system that imported a large amount of diamond data quickly and accurately. This system added over 1.2 million diamonds to Diamnet’s platform, ensuring that all the information was up-to-date and there were no mistakes. This saved a lot of time and effort compared to doing it manually.

Overall Collaboration and Experience

Our collaboration with Diamnet was a well-structured and productive experience. We worked closely with their team to understand their specific business needs and translated them into a technical framework that enhanced the platform's efficiency. Regular discussions and iterative feedback cycles helped refine our solutions, ensuring they were aligned with Diamnet’s goals.

One of the most crucial aspects of the project was handling data synchronization without slowing down the platform. We implemented automation techniques that streamlined the inventory process, making it seamless for retailers. The integration of APIs and automated logging improved performance, reduced errors, and saved manual effort. Throughout the project, Diamnet's team was proactive in providing insights, which helped us fine-tune our approach. By leveraging nopCommerce's capabilities, we built a system that not only resolved existing inefficiencies but also allowed scalability for future enhancements.

The End Result

The updates we implemented have significantly impacted Diamnet’s platform. Retailers now enjoy a faster, more reliable system for managing diamond inventories. Real-time data syncing ensures accurate inventory, while automated bulk data imports save time and reduce errors. A major improvement was the addition of the “build a ring” tool, which boosted user engagement by 25%, allowing customers to design rings on retailer websites.

Automated processes have reduced manual data handling by 60%, enhancing operational efficiency. With over 800,000 records synchronized daily, the platform is now scalable and better equipped to handle large data volumes, giving retailers a competitive edge.

USP

Leveraged nopCommerce to enable real-time inventory updates, automated bulk data imports, and a “build a ring” tool, enhancing retailer efficiency and customer experience.
