Optical Inventory Management: The 7 Best Practices
7 proven practices to prevent stock loss and maintain inventory accuracy.
1. Set low-stock thresholds
Define a minimum stock level for each product category — for example, 2-3 units for frames and 5+ units for popular lenses. The system alerts you when stock falls below the threshold.
2. Establish a monthly stock-count routine
With barcode scanning, a monthly stock count can drop to 30 minutes. Enter the count results into the system; if there's a discrepancy, create an adjustment record.
3. Use sales-stock integration
Manual stock deductions can be forgotten. Every transaction made from the sales screen should update stock automatically — Optik Panel does this by default.
