Codestone Secures Gem of a Deal

World famous luxury jewellers Graff Diamonds has appointed a Poole company to overhaul its IT. The project, worth more than half a million pounds to IT provider Codestone, will integrate Graff Diamonds’ stock control, finance and point of sale operations.

Graff jewels have been worn by many celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and Kylie Minogue.

The company hit the headlines recently when it purchased the 15th largest rough diamond ever discovered for £6.6million.

Managing director of Codestone Jeremy Bucknell said: “We are very proud to count this prestigious organisation among our customers and look forward to delivering an excellent project.

“We won the Graff business against tough competition from other leading SAP partners. We established a rapport with their key personnel very early and committed to understanding this unique business at every level.”

Among the business management software being installed are SAP Business One, System One and Automation One.

Nick Paine, CFO at Graff said “ours is a fast moving international luxury business and having an effective robust business system will help us to realise our vision to continue to be the world leader in diamonds and fine jewellery.”
