How to Choose Optical Store Software: 10 Critical Questions
General accounting software or software specific to the optical sector? 10 questions for the right decision.
Is a general ERP enough?
General accounting software such as Logo and Mikro is strong at invoicing and stock tracking; however, it doesn't support optical prescription fields, the lens/contact-lens SKU structure or industry-specific sales flows. Software specific to the optical sector fills this gap.
The 10 questions you should ask
When evaluating software, be sure to ask these questions:
- Does prescription entry support optical fields (SPH, CYL, AXIS, PD)?
- Is there store-credit and collections tracking?
- Does it offer supplier invoice reading (OCR/AI)?
- Is a multi-branch structure supported?
- Is there a KVKK-compliant cloud infrastructure?
- Is there barcode/QR label support?
- Is SMS integration available?
- Is setup and data migration support provided?
- Is it mobile/tablet compatible?
- Is pricing transparent, or are there hidden module fees?
