When deciding on software for our new practice I had several suppliers in mind including one which I had used for 10 years in my existing practice. My initial on-line demonstration with Trevor was an "eye opener". I was amazed at the detail and thought that went into the software and having Trevor Read more talk me through it personally was an honour. Having used Optix for nearly 4 years, I now have no hesitation in recommending Optix to everyone. I find the level of support second to none and all the staff are extremely capable of resolving any issues which may occur. Optix are continuously improving and responding to user feedback making this software an evolving product. Optix is not just an extremely effective clinical and business software it also comes with the benefit of a forum which facilitates Optix users dialogue on all optical and business topics. For me this unique package makes it the obvious choice for any progressive optical practice.

Support desks get a lot of bad press, they are the sharp end of customer service. Optix are a case study of how to run a good support desk. The staff are approachable not remotely defensive and keep listening until they understand the issue. They also stick with the issue even if it’s not a Read more quick fix.

We have been using Optix for nearly 10 years now and I can certainly say it is one of those essential, 'must have', tools that every practice needs. The software does everything you need it to including paperless clinical records, managing our contact lens direct debits and sending out patient Read more recalls, just to name a few of its features. The easy to use software is well thought out and very user friendly. The Optix BI interface helps me look at my KPIs on a regular basis without too much hassle at just a click of a button. The support team are excellent and very knowledgeable and you have access to all the senior management team for help and advice. What is fantastic about Optix is that the software continues to evolve. Every year the team work hard to give us some new features, usually things that are well ahead of the other systems out there. As an independent practice, I feel that we can compete and offer services that many larger optical companies do thanks to Optix.

We were very worried when moving from paper to computer. 80% of the staff are over 40 and had not used a computer in the workplace never mind used a PMS. The training provided gave us confidence straight away and the telephone support is second to none.
It has allowed us to expand the practice but Read more reduce costs at the same time. We no longer needed the accountant to do all the book keeping and the monthly figures which reduced our overheads and among other things we implemented a direct debit scheme for Contact Lens wearers which increased profits.

If anyone were to ask me what one thing I would hate to be without in our practice, it would without doubt be our Optix Management System.
Far superior to our previous software, it’s basically like having an indispensable member of staff present all the time. Paying the same monthly fee, which we Read more consider to be great value, irrespective of how many features we used, quickly paved the way to our becoming a virtually paperless practice. It is so intuitive, incredibly flexible, can be accessed from home, provides fantastically in depth business reports but most importantly has the best support service you could ever wish for.
All of the Optix staff are incredibly well trained, patient and unbelievably conscientious. Trevor Rowley has such pride in the system that we are assured of continual product development, a prime example being the latest direct marketing tool.
Judith and I have recommended Optix to so many people and I am delighted to say that all have been come on board as happy users. So, in one word....Invaluable!

Great system, great people.
The team are always very enthusiastic to receive our input and to apply fine tuning, to what I believe is already the best management software out there.

As successful Opticians we focus on customer service, attention to detail, and having systems in place that enable our staff to be customer facing. At last in Optix Software we have found a computer system that helps us achieve all this. What makes them different to the other two PMS suppliers we Read more have used in the past? Customer service, attention to detail and systems that are designed to maximise practice efficiency.

We have been very satisfied users of Optix for the last 5 years. The system provides an efficient way to carry out many of our tasks and is a very comprehensive system. The support team have given us a good aftercare service as well

Gardiner Opticians introduced Optix 6 months ago, having used paper for virtually everything before - we had more filing cabinets than anything else in the practice.
After a few weeks of entering our product catalogues into the system, we moved over to Optix overnight. All our systems were running Read more on Optix - clinical records, dispensing, recall letters, the till, product catalogues and ordering. It was a tough week or two adapting our whole way of working, but within a few weeks everyone was beginning to appreciate the benefits it could bring.
The support and training involved in moving from systems where virtually everything was done on paper to a completely computerised system in a matter of weeks was enormous. Optix support has been excellent all along. We can now access business information in seconds that previously took hours of painstaking analysis of paper records. We can finally start thinking about moving out some of those filing cabinets. I can’t imagine how we managed without it for so long!

Optix has enabled us to feel secure in our patient records and given us detailed knowledge of how the business is functioning on a daily basis. After nearly 30 years of running the business "by the seat of our pants" it has given us great peace of mind and a secure basis to grow the business. The Read more BI is a mine of information and Optix itself is constantly improving and actually listens to its client base and implements changes that are requested. Nothing is perfect but the guys at York try to deliver as near as damn it
