Non-edging Practices: A Profit Opportunity

Edging in-house on a Briot system can save you thousands of dollars in lab fees each month, as the chart below shows. These savings can more than offset the monthly costs for purchasing and operating the equipment.



If you are considering the benefits of an in-office lab for your practice, here are some important facts:

• STAFFING
Most practices do not need to hire new employees to run an in-office lab. Briot's automated edging systems are so easy to learn and to use, employees without optical experience become edging experts. Briot will train your staff when the system is installed, and provides on-going technical support.

• SPACE
The space required to set up an in-office lab is less than you might think. Briot has integrated the steps that once required multiple machines into just one or two machines with small footprints. We can help you identify an area that will support your lab with relatively simple accommodations.

• JOB VOLUME
In-house edging isn't just for practices doing fifty or more jobs a week. The savings can be significant for just 15 to 20 jobs a week when you compare lab fees for finishing high end lenses with the cost of unfinished lenses. A lab on premise pays out in customer service too. It can increase gross revenue by keeping customers who want fast job turnaround from walking out. Plus, you get payment faster to improve cash flow!

• AFFORDABILITY
Lab equipment is a revenue-generator. In-office labs help lower operating costs and boost revenue, which offset the investment costs. Whether you lease or get a loan to purchase, your tax advisor can show you the benefits of using this business expense to maximize your annual return.
