Having a successful eyecare practice is as much about managing a profitable optical retail business as it is delivering quality medical care to patients.  And, that’s especially true in today’s environment where your practice is competing with both online eyewear and big box retailers. That’s why having the optical point-of-sale (POS) solution is a must have for today’s independent optometry practice. Designed to automate checkout tasks, manage inventory, and track sales, the right optical software can streamline operations to increase profitability.  As important, it also frees up your opticians to deliver the level of  personalized service that differentiates you from your competition and drives sales.

Here are just a few of the reasons why you should invest in optical point-of-sale software.  

Improved Patient Experience

Optical POS software allows a fast and seamless checkout experience for patients by finalizing transactions quickly, reducing wait times and improving the overall patient experience.  This includes automatically calculating pricing based on the patient’s vision plan benefits and creating packages to help upsell lens options.

 

Better Inventory Management

Keeping track of inventory can be a tedious task, and without proper tools, it can quickly become overwhelming. Optical point-of-sale software can help with inventory control by providing real-time visibility into inventory levels. This allows you to maintain stock levels while avoiding overstocking and inventory creep. The software also helps with restocking, scheduled maintenance tasks and gives the option for inventory tracking functions. 

Reduced Errors, Better Billing and Less Remakes

With optical POS software, transactions are less error-prone, and the software ensures that all the data is accurate and the correct coding is applied to ensure claims get paid. Rx prescriptions come directly from the EHR and orders go directly to the lab,  eliminating errors and reducing remakes. 

 

Improved Efficiency and Reporting

Optical POS software tracks every transaction process with a complete breakdown of sales, inventory, and patient  details. Users of the software can easily generate reports to obtain insights on purchasing behavior and market trends. This information helps you discover when to expect periods of high sales volume and low sales volume, what products to restock to optimize profits and inventory levels, and what to have on your frame board. With valuable insights and data-driven decisions, you can better understand your business to increase sales.

 

Improved Patient Experience

The primary aim of any optometry practice is to provide the best outcomes for their patients. Optical POS software can provide patient data access as well as patient order history, which is useful in providing personalized customer service. Optometrists can also create a patient profile, allowing quicker access to their records and histories. Additionally, the software automates eye exam scheduling, recording patients’ prescriptions and follow-ups, and automating transactions, meaning the process is far smoother for everyone involved.
