SimplyRFID AIMS Eyewear OMS Selected By Landa Eye Center For Business Process Improvement

Looking to improve process and efficiency, Landa Eye Center selects AIMS for automated drop-shipping, easy data entry, and inventory management.

Landa Eye Center of New Braunfels, Texas, runs an optometry and eye wear practice with four ODs (optometry doctors). Dr. Angela Cline, of Landa, also plans to expand to a second location so more efficient methods were needed for inventory and business processes. That's when Dr. Cline decided to try AIMS for managing inventory and integrating with its EMR (electronic medical record) software Crystal PM (Practice Management).

The AIMS eyewear order management system (OMS), developed by SimplyRFiD in partnership with Frame Source Group, solved the problem. By installing RFID tags on every frame, Landa takes an accurate inventory using the AIMS RFID handheld in a few minutes vs. the days it took to scan barcodes.

"Realistically, inventory was never right and we continued to order frames manually. AIMs finally gave us a solution that integrates with our practice management software. The ability [for AIMS] to drop-ship orders with frames and lenses from Morel, and several other vendors, speeds up the accuracy and order speed - and we can keep the most popular frames on the board," said Missy Brinsley, Lead Optician.

"This is the future," added Brinsley.
