Inventory Management & Using Frames Data with Software
Frames Data IDA and SPEX UPC
Receiving frames to inventory, printing bar codes, recording sales, submitting managed care claims, sending lens orders to the lab...these are vital processes for optical retailers*. But if you don't have accurate, constantly updated product information loaded in to your software system, these processes are most likely not working well, or at all!
An integrated product from Frames Data can help you manage inventory more effectively, and enable you to stop spending staff time and energy entering data by hand. Plus you'll be able to quickly adopt functionality that’s built into your software (like using a bar code scanner to record and receive inventory).
- increase adoption of your inventory functionality
- improve accuracy of your orders, claims and reporting
- work more efficiently, with fewer errors and rejected claims
*Keep in mind that functionality is generally dependent on the software package you are using. Check with your vendor for a full description of their Frames Data integration and for any specific equipment (scanners, printers, labels etc) that your software may require.

Licensing for Multiple Location Retailers
Let us propose the right mix of Frames Data products for your multiple location practice!
If your practice has more than one location, you will need to have a license that covers the additional locations.
Even if you only plan to use it in one server, or on one computer, multiple location practices must have licensing that covers all locations and reflects the overall size of your business. Because even if you are only loading data in one location to manage the inventory for multiple locations, the benefit extends to the entire organization.
If you have multiple locations and have not purchased a license, you may be in violation of our terms of use.
The good news is that we will work with you to develop a package that is right for your practice and best suits your needs!
Also, keep in mind that when we say multiple locations, we mean multiple physical addresses; it is not a "per seat" license. In other words, if you have 4 computers at 1 location, you do not need separate licenses for each computer.
To obtain a multi-location license or if you have any questions related to licensing, please contact our licensing manager at 1-800-821-6069 ext. 4 or email licensing@framesdata.com.
