Desarrollo de Sitio Web para Mayoristas de Rubíes

A ruby wholesaler website built by Social Animal costs between $35,000 and $120,000 depending on inventory size, number of cert API integrations, and workflow complexity. A dealer with 500-2,000 stones, two cert lab APIs (GRS and AGL), and a basic memo workflow typically lands at $45K-$65K. Larger operations with 5,000+ stones, four cert lab integrations (adding Gubelin and SSEF), multi-currency parcel pricing, and ERP connections push toward $80K-$120K. This includes the origin-aware catalog, treatment disclosure schema, 360 viewer calibration, and digital memo system. Monthly maintenance runs $1,500-$4,000 depending on inventory update frequency and API call volume. We quote fixed-price after the Week 1-2 audit so you know the number before we write a line of code.

Every ruby in your catalog gets tagged with a verified origin field sourced from your cert data and your internal knowledge. We pull origin determination directly from GRS, AGL, Gubelin, or SSEF certificates via API when available. For uncertified parcels, you assign origin based on your sourcing records. Buyers can filter by country (Burma, Mozambique, Madagascar, Thailand, Tanzania, Sri Lanka), and where data supports it, by specific mine or region (Mogok, Mong Hsu, Montepuez). The filter is not a free-text search. It is a controlled vocabulary that prevents data drift. Origin data is stored as structured schema markup so Google and B2B feed platforms read it correctly. This means when a dealer searches for Burmese pigeon-blood rubies with no heat treatment, your stones surface first.

Yes. We integrate directly with GRS, AGL, Gubelin, and SSEF certificate verification APIs. When a buyer clicks a cert number on your listing, the system pulls the report data from the lab in real time: origin determination, treatment status, color grade, carat weight, and any special remarks like pigeon-blood or vivid red classification. No PDF downloads. No Dropbox links. The cert data displays inline on the stone detail page. If a lab does not offer an API, we build a scraping layer with caching so verification stays fast. We also store a backup PDF for each cert in your system in case a lab endpoint goes down. Buyers see a green verified badge when the cert checks out, which builds trust and cuts your email back-and-forth by 60-70%.

We implement a four-tier treatment classification system aligned with AGTA disclosure codes: no heat (N), standard heat only (H), glass-filled or lead-glass filled (GF), and beryllium-diffused (Be). Every listing shows the treatment tier as a visible badge, not buried in a description paragraph. Buyers can filter the entire catalog by treatment tier. This is critical because a 3-carat no-heat Burma ruby might sell for $15,000 per carat while the same size glass-filled stone sells for $150 per carat. Mixing these in one unfiltered catalog confuses buyers and attracts the wrong audience. Treatment data also feeds into your IDEX and RapNet listings via structured export. We follow GJEPC export documentation standards for stones shipped internationally.

The memo workflow covers the full lifecycle: request, approval, shipping, insurance, return, and conversion to sale. A buyer selects stones, submits a memo request with terms (30, 60, or 90 days), and your team reviews it in a dashboard. Approved memos generate a digital memo agreement with stone details, insurance valuation, return deadline, and digital signature capture. When you ship, the system logs carrier, tracking number, and declared value. Returns are checked in with condition notes. If the buyer converts to purchase, the memo flips to an invoice. Every action is timestamped and tied to a user. This gives you a full audit trail for AWDC compliance and internal loss prevention. Most wholesalers we work with report that moving off WhatsApp-based memo tracking eliminates $10K-$30K per year in disputed or lost stone claims.

Standard 360 gem viewers are calibrated for diamonds and light-colored stones. They blow out red saturation, which makes a $12,000-per-carat pigeon-blood Burma ruby look identical to a $200-per-carat commercial Mozambique stone on screen. We build custom color profiles for your 360 viewer that preserve the distinction between pigeon-blood, vivid red, pinkish-red, and purplish-red. We calibrate against your physical stones and your photography lighting rig. The viewer also includes a UV fluorescence toggle so buyers can check fluorescence response, which matters for origin identification. Images load in under 2 seconds on mobile. Each 360 spin consists of 36-72 frames depending on stone size, with a zoom that resolves inclusions down to 0.5mm.

Yes. Most ruby wholesalers come to us with inventory in Excel or CSV files, sometimes exported from legacy systems like Polygon or custom FileMaker databases. During the Week 1-2 audit, we map every column in your existing data to the new schema: stone ID, origin, treatment, cert number, cert lab, carat weight, dimensions, color grade, cut grade, price per carat, lot price, and image/video references. We build a one-time import pipeline and a repeatable update workflow so your team can push new stones via CSV upload or API. If you use an ERP like SAP Business One or a custom system, we build a sync connector. Typical import for 2,000-5,000 stones takes 3-5 business days including data cleaning and origin/treatment field normalization.

A typical ruby wholesaler website launches in 10 to 16 weeks from kickoff. The timeline depends on inventory size, number of cert lab API integrations, and memo workflow complexity. A mid-size dealer with 1,000-3,000 stones and two cert APIs (GRS and AGL) usually launches in 12 weeks. Larger operations with 5,000+ stones, four cert APIs, multi-currency pricing, and ERP integration run 14-16 weeks. We do not pad timelines. Week 1-2 is the audit. Weeks 3-5 are data model and API work. Weeks 6-9 are front-end and 360 viewer. Weeks 10-13 are memo and pricing. Weeks 14-16 are QA and buyer testing. You see working builds every two weeks. If your inventory data is clean and your photography is done, we can shave 2 weeks off.
