POS Software for Opticians & Eyewear Stores in South Africa

Between display models, demo lenses, and stock that walks out during busy Saturdays, it's hard to know what you actually have. Manual stock sheets are out of date the moment you finish them, and you only spot shrinkage when a supplier reorder arrives short.

Ringing up a pair of glasses, adding lens coatings and options, and taking the deposit shouldn't take five minutes at the till. Clunky systems and hand-written slips slow the queue and make it easy to miscalculate the balance owed on collection.

Adding up sales, splitting VAT correctly and reconciling card machines by hand eats your evenings. When the VAT201 period closes, you're chasing paper receipts and hoping the totals match what SARS expects.

Opticians take part-payments up front and the balance on collection, sometimes weeks later. Tracking who paid what, which jobs are at the lab, and which orders are ready to hand over quickly turns into a pile of sticky notes.

Every sale updates inventory instantly, so your frame board, contact lens boxes and coating options always show a true count. Set reorder points per supplier and get low-stock alerts before you run out of a fast-selling range.

Scan or tap to add frames, lenses and add-ons, apply a deposit, and print or email the receipt in seconds. The POS works on the counter or a tablet, so you can serve patients wherever they're sitting.

Every sale, expense and supplier invoice flows straight into your accounts with VAT tracked automatically. Snap a photo of a supplier receipt and Tallium AI's AI reads and categorises it, so your VAT201 figures are ready when the period closes — always confirm current rules with SARS or a local tax professional.

Record a deposit, mark the job as sent to the lab, and see the balance due at collection on one screen. Nothing slips through the cracks, and the outstanding amount is calculated for you when the patient returns.
