Optical ERP Software for Retail, Wholesale & Lens Stock

What is an optical ERP?

ERP means enterprise resource planning: one system that joins purchases, stock, sales, accounts, customers and reports. An optical ERP does this for an optical business and adds what generic ERP misses: prescriptions, lens power stock and lab orders. Many owners search for it as optical ERP, opto ERP or optical software; they are asking for the same thing, a single system that runs the whole business.

Optical ERP modules

Lens stock management at the core

Lens stock is the hardest part of optical inventory. A grid view lets you order exactly the powers you are short of and avoid money tied up in powers that rarely sell. Read more in our guide to optical lens stock management.

Retail and wholesale in one system

Many optical businesses sell at the counter and also supply other shops. An ERP keeps both on the same stock and accounts, so you do not run two systems or reconcile by hand. See our page on distribution and wholesale software for the supply side.

One set of data, fewer errors

When billing, stock and accounts share data, a sale reduces stock at once, a purchase updates cost, and GST reports come from the same bills. This removes double entry and the mismatches that appear at month end. Inventory audit and mismatch detection helps find any difference between shelf and system.

Reports an owner actually uses

• Fast-moving, slow-moving and dead stock, and stock ageing.
• Staff-wise and showroom-wise sales.
• Brand-wise and supplier-wise stock and sales.
• GST exports for your accountant.
