A bill and barcode printer, barcode labels and OpticSathi AI, included in Opticdigit
Most optical software stops at the screen. Opticdigit also puts the hardware on your counter and an assistant beside your staff: a 2-in-1 printer that prints bills and barcode labels, a barcode on every frame and lens, and OpticSathi AI, which explains lenses, coatings and frames to customers in simple words.

1. A 2-in-1 bill and barcode printer, included
Premium Pro (₹14,999 the first year, then ₹9,999 a year) and Pro Ultra (₹34,999 a year) come with a 2-in-1 thermal printer that prints both customer bills and barcode price labels. It is delivered with a starter pack of barcode rolls and stickers, paired and set up for your shop before you go live, and it is yours to keep.
- One printer for the counter and the stock room: bills with the customer's eye power, and price labels for frames.
- No ink or toner: thermal printing uses standard rolls that are easy to buy locally. Refills are available anytime.
- Wireless: connects over Bluetooth, so it needs no computer, cables or network of its own, and prints during an internet cut.
- Print from any device: every Opticdigit app (iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac) prints directly to the printer. On Basic and Premium, use a Bluetooth thermal printer you buy yourself.
Software only? The printer is optional
You don't have to take a printer. Basic (₹2,500 a year) and Premium (₹7,000 a year) are software only: use a Bluetooth thermal printer you already have, buy any compatible one, or skip printing and send every bill on WhatsApp from your shop's own number. Barcode labels and billing work the same on every plan, and you can move up to a plan with the printer anytime; the unused part of your current plan is credited.
2. Barcode labels for every frame, lens and solution
- Add a product once, or import your stock from Excel. Opticdigit creates a unique barcode for it.
- Preview the label with your shop name, brand, model and MRP, then save the product and print the label in one tap.
- Stick it on the frame before it goes on the wall.
- Scan at the counter: the item and price go straight onto the bill, and stock goes down by itself.
On Premium Pro and Pro Ultra our team enters your full stock and labels it for you. Read more about barcode labels for spectacle frames and optical inventory management software.
3. OpticSathi AI: an AI sales assistant at the counter
Customers ask why one lens costs ₹800 and another ₹6,000, whether blue-cut is worth it, or if titanium is better than TR90. OpticSathi AI (Beta) answers in simple words, so every staff member explains like your best optician and customers understand why a better lens costs more.
| OpticSathi AI explains | Examples |
|---|---|
| Lens types | Single vision, bifocal, progressive, blue-cut, photochromic, high-index, polycarbonate |
| Coatings | Anti-reflective, blue light, hydrophobic, scratch-resistant |
| Frame materials and styles | Metal, titanium, TR90, acetate, full-rim, Supra (half-rim), rimless |
- Sell with confidence: staff never have to say "I'm not sure" about a coating or frame material.
- Upsell as advice: anti-reflective for night driving or a lighter high-index lens for a high power, with the reason explained.
- Train new staff faster: they hear the same clear explanation at the counter, again and again.
