Increase the involvment of people allowing them

TO CREATE THEIR OWN FRAME.

The key is not limit you in choosing your eyewear, as it accurs in the standard models. This will help you not invest huge capitals, just to have glasses, that maybe won't be sold.

From the customer’s perspective

Imagine for a moment to put yourself in your customers’ shoes: you go into an optical centre and find a range of products chosen and selected by staff that does not reflect the entire range of models available on the market. Companies produce thousands of different eyewear models and sales reps only choose the ones that sell the most to sell to opticians. The latter buy the models they think will suit the majority of their customers. When you enter a store you will have a limited choice made up of eyewear with a pre-set fitting and standard colours. In essence your choice will be filtered by what sales reps and opticians want to sell. Now imagine that you have the entire range of models, sizes, colours and have eyewear that fits perfectly on your face. You will be able to create customised eyewear from a complete range of choices. In addition to choosing Biometric eyewear, i.e. made using the actual measurements of your face, you can choose between two other different methods:

Best Fitting will allow you to choose from existing models with pre-set sizes that are nevertheless suitable for your face;
Custom will allow you to choose the frames and the mix of colours you prefer; the algorithm will suggest the most suitable fit from the three possibilities.

...that's the V.E.A. Store.

From the optician’s perspective

Today things are bought knowing that there is a limited time to sell them. Models go out of fashion and if they are not sold promptly they remain in stock. Opticians therefore invest money without getting any profit. V.E.A. Store turns this concept on its head: Before the product is sold and produced it is bought. This reduces investment in stock and makes it possible to fight the competition by optimising profit. In addition this way opticians can compete with the bargain prices that are on offer on the internet. Only then will you continue to provide customer service that no e-commerce site can ever provide. That's not all: customers will choose the size, shape and colours for their customised eyewear. You will no longer sell standard but made to measure eyewear. ...that’s the V.E.A. Store. The customised product market is continuously growing. Opticians will no longer sell standard products but ONLY what customers want.
