CRM for opticians & eyewear

A CRM built for opticians

Patients, exams, frame orders and recalls in one place — the lab gets chased, collections nudge themselves, and the recall book never sleeps.

Recalls

Off-the-shelf CRMs were built for a sales team. Not for opticians & eyewear.

Recalls live in a card file or a spreadsheet — two-year exams quietly lapse, and every one that does takes an exam fee and a dispense out the door with it.

Nobody knows an order is late until the patient rings. Then it’s a Saturday morning on the phone to the lab, apologising in both directions.

Finished glasses sit on the shelf for weeks because nobody nudged the patient — the balance stays uncollected and the drawer fills up.

Contact-lens scheme payments get reconciled by hand each month, so a failed direct debit is noticed three deliveries too late.

See it from the inside

What your CRM would look like — screen by screen.

Not stock screenshots — this is the shape of the system we’d build for opticians & eyewear: your records, your stages, your words. Click through the screens.

The owner’s morning screen — recalls falling due, orders sitting at the lab, this month’s dispensing — and what the automations already did before opening.

A real starting point

Here’s the analysis we’d start from — for opticians & eyewear.

Not a template. This is the data model, pipeline and automations a business like yours actually runs on — mapped in your words. Your free analysis produces exactly this, shaped to you.

Your system, mapped

Your pipeline, exactly as your CRM would show it — your stages, your words. This is what we build from.

Questions opticians & eyewear ask us

Does it connect to our test-room equipment and till?
Yes — we build around what you already use. Prescriptions and OCT scans file against the patient record, and anything with an export or API — the till, the lab portal, your accounts — can feed the one screen your front desk works from.
Our recall list is thousands of patients in an old system — can you migrate it?
Yes. We import patients, prescriptions and last-exam dates from a spreadsheet or your old practice software, and the recall clock starts from each patient’s real last exam — nobody falls through the gap during the switch.
How long until we’re live?
A working prototype in about a week for €500. The full build usually lands in three to six weeks, depending on the migration and how many integrations are in scope.
Who owns the system and the patient data?
You do — entirely. It’s your system, hosted for you, and you can export everything at any time. No per-seat lock-in.
