I was thinking of instituting a frame inventory system in my optical shop. Currently there is no system at all. I am concerned that without any system there may be thefts, fraud, loss etc. For example, we are in a medical building which is regularly serviced on weekends by janitors, maintenance men etc. We also have occasional part-time help etc. My idea was that every frame that comes in should be scanned when it arrives. Likewise, every frame that is sold should be scanned. Obviously this should keep track of what's happening to our inventory on-hand. However, there are some cases in which the optician has frames drop shipped from the manufacturer to the lab...in these instances the inventory system would not help. We do not have any optical software of any kind in place. Therefore, this would have to be a standalone system. Anyone have any experience, tips, hints or advice about whether this is worth doing?
