About this industry
An optical shop sells retail frames but delivers a prescription product. Each sale carries an eye-power record, a lens specification and a fitting job that takes days. Repeat business depends on recalling a customer's prescription history, and lens stock is effectively made to order rather than held.
Common operational problems
- Prescription records kept on paper cannot be recalled at the next visit
- Lens jobs sent to a fitting lab have no tracked delivery date
- Frame stock across shapes, colours and brands is hard to track manually
- Advance payments against pending jobs are recorded informally
- Follow-up for eye-test recall does not happen
Example workflows
Prescription capture linked to the customer record
Frame stock with brand, model and colour variants
Lens job order with lab tracking and delivery date
Advance payment and balance on delivery
Recall reminders for periodic eye testing
