A Point of Sale (POS) system is the heart of your optical shop counter. It handles billing, payments, and customer records. But not all POS systems are created equal.
What is an Optical POS?
Unlike a grocery store POS, an **optical POS** must record medical data. It needs to store the customer's prescription (Right Eye/Left Eye details) alongside the sale of the frame.
Key Benefits
- Speed: Scan a barcode and print a thermal receipt in 5 seconds.
- Accuracy: No more calculation errors in pricing or discounts.
- Professionalism: Giving a printed computer bill looks much more professional than a handwritten slip.
Hardware Requirements
Modern cloud-based systems like **OptiManager** run on any laptop. You just need a thermal printer (approx PKR 5,000) and a barcode scanner (approx PKR 2,500) to get started.
