See20/20 unveils vision for the future

OPTICIAN practice software specialist See20/20 has reported a record year with turnover up by 40% for the year ended March 31.

The Brierley Hill-based company has secured a record number of new customers during the last year, with nearly 100 independent practices investing in See20/20 – the world’s first internet-based practice management software for opticians.

Now the business is planning to expand its UK customer base to 750 opticians over the next five years.

Co-directors Ian Houghton and Chris Vincent have invested heavily in developing and releasing new software since acquiring the company in 2010. This includes a new dispensing and ordering module, SpecsCare insurance and the latest print and mail service.

Houghton said: “We are all delighted with the progress achieved so far in such a short space of time.”

“See20/20 is poised for dramatic growth with opticians and independent practices as far afield as Australia, Russia and North America also interested in applying our unique web-based system.

“Alongside new markets, we will continue to grow our position in the UK and are committed to serving the industry for many years to come.”
