Inventory is money sitting on your shelves. If you don't manage it, you are losing cash. For optical shops, this is even more critical because of the huge variety of frames and lens powers.
Prevent Dead Stock
Without software, you might keep buying frames that aren't selling, while running out of the popular ones. **Optical inventory management** helps you identify which items are "dead stock" so you can clear them out.
Track Lens Powers
Managing frames is one thing, but managing thousands of lens combinations (Spherical, Cylindrical, Axis) is impossible manually. A digital system tells you instantly if you have a specific lens brand and power in stock.
Stop Theft and Pilferage
In a busy shop, frames can "disappear". By using barcodes and strict inventory tracking, you ensure every single item is accounted for.
