The role-based access control (RBAC) system restricts each user to only the modules and data they are authorised to access. Discount limits can also be set per user, requiring manager or admin approval for higher discounts.

It delivers a complete feature set: GST billing, prescription management (Rx), barcode and QR inventory, CRM with WhatsApp and SMS reminders, appointment scheduling, and a unique Android mobile POS, all at just ₹6,000 per store per year. No other optical software at this price point offers a native mobile POS that lets you bill customers from any Android phone.

How does OptoSoft compare to GoFrugal Optical POS?

OptoSoft includes a unique Android mobile POS and stronger CRM automation. GoFrugal is the better choice for very large optical retail chains that need enterprise-level multi-store inventory management and advanced automation at scale.

What is the cheapest optical software in India?

Optical CRM is the cheapest optical software at approximately ₹2,400 per year. OptoSoft is the second most affordable at ₹6,000 per year but delivers significantly more value, including a mobile POS, advanced prescription management, barcode inventory, and automated CRM reminders. For shops seeking the best combination of low cost and comprehensive features, OptoSoft offers the strongest return on investment among all optical software options in India.

Is OptoSoft GST-compliant for Indian optical shops?

Yes, OptoSoft is fully GST-compliant. It automatically calculates CGST, SGST, and IGST on all optical products, generates GST-ready invoices, supports HSN codes for frames, lenses, and contact lenses, and produces GSTR reports, making it audit-ready for all GST-registered optical businesses in India.

Which optical software is best for multi-store chains in India?

GoFrugal Optical POS is the strongest enterprise choice for large multi-store optical chains. OptoSoft also supports multi-store management with real-time cloud sync across all branches and is a highly cost-effective alternative for growing chains. TechCherry MyOpticalApp is ideal for businesses that combine retail stores with wholesale lens distribution.

What is the price of optical shop management software in USD?

OptoSoft optical shop management software is priced at $399 per store per year for international customers outside India.

How does OptoSoft compare to Optix, OfficeMate, and Crystal PM?

OptoSoft offers a comparable core feature set to Optix, OfficeMate, and Crystal PM at a significantly lower price — starting at $399/year versus $2,000–$5,000+ per year for US-market alternatives. OptoSoft includes GST/tax billing, full EMR and prescription management, CRM with WhatsApp automation via official META API, barcode inventory, Android mobile POS, and REST API access.
