OpticPOS vs GoFrugal
Enterprise retail POS — powerful but not optical-specific
GoFrugal is a mature, enterprise-grade retail POS with excellent inventory, multi-store, and Tally integration. If you run a department store, a supermarket chain, or a multi-vertical business, it’s a strong choice. But for an optical shop specifically, you’ll spend a lot of time bending generic retail concepts into Rx + lens + lab workflows. OpticPOS skips that friction entirely — every feature is shaped for the way opticians actually work.
