POS billing
Fast counter billing for frames, lenses and accessories.
OptiCore · by GFT Solutions
Everything an optical shop runs on, in one system.
Desktop POS, inventory and accounting built from the counter of a real optical shop: billing, stock, customers, prescriptions and orders, on the shop’s own computer.
Why it exists
Shop software that understands an optical shop.
Generic POS tools are rarely built around lens orders that move from advance to recovery to delivery, or around a prescription that sits beside a customer’s credit ledger. OptiCore is built around both, because the requirements came from a working optical shop, not from a feature checklist.
I am the founder and product lead. I gathered the requirements, decided the business logic with the shop (pricing, inventory, accounting rules, permissions), made the architecture decisions, and handle real-shop testing, bug reports and deployment myself, together with the GFT team.
Modules
What is inside
Nine modules that cover the shop from the counter to the books.
Inventory
FIFO costing, plus support for bulk and variable-price items.
Purchases & suppliers
Purchasing, supplier accounts and what you owe.
Customers & credit
Customer records with credit ledgers and balances.
Eye-test prescriptions
Prescriptions stored against each customer.
Lens & frame orders
Track every order from advance, through recovery, to delivery.
Cash & bank accounts
Multiple cash and bank accounts managed in one place.
Role-based permissions
Owner, manager and staff each see only what they should.
Encrypted backups
Backups of the shop’s data, encrypted.
Deployment
How it runs
Windows desktop
Installed with a Windows installer and used like any other desktop program, with no browser needed.
Local SQL Server
Each shop has its own installation and its own database on its own computer.
Per-shop, bespoke
OptiCore is shop software, not a cloud SaaS. A cloud direction is something we plan for later.
