Few things disrupt a business like unexpectedly running out of essential supplies. For jewelers, designers, and manufacturers alike, delays due to out-of-stock materials can derail production timelines, frustrate clients, and chip away at hard-earned momentum. Time spent chasing down critical components is time lost that could be spent designing, producing, and growing the business.
A New Standard in Supply Security
Enter RioReserve, the latest innovation from industry-trusted supplier Rio Grande, designed exclusively for members of its RioPro program. With RioReserve, the old stress of fluctuating inventory and unpredictable back orders is replaced with something almost radical: peace of mind. Because the best way to manage uncertainty…is to eliminate it entirely.
How It Works
This program allows eligible customers to secure their most-used items—think precious metal chains, findings, beads, and more—so they’re always available when needed. Once qualified, the customer works directly with a business development specialist at Rio to identify the products they use most frequently. From there Rio sets aside dedicated inventory based on the customer’s specific needs and ships it in recurring, customized intervals. It’s like having your own private stockroom without the burden of over-ordering or warehousing materials yourself.
No Risk, All Reward
Even better? There’s no up-front cost to join the program, there are no penalties for adjusting your reserve list, and the contract can be canceled at any time. That flexibility alone makes it stand apart in an industry where minimums, contracts, and fine print often outweigh convenience. Simply put, RioReserve is tailored to real-world working conditions and supports businesses through seasonal changes, growth cycles, and evolving design trends.
Proven Advantages & Customer Satisfaction
Customers already participating in RioReserve praise its time-saving nature and the freedom it brings to their production cycles. Instead of reacting to supply shortages or rising market prices, they can plan ahead with confidence and focus on other facets of their business.
Because this program is exclusively available to RioPro members, it also adds another layer of value to a membership that already offers perks like volume-based pricing, early access to promotions, and personalized account support.
