Toni Hotker, owner of Simply Spectacles in Western Australia said a trifecta of benefits – increased profitability, streamlined processes, and exclusive access to Carrera engraved prescription lenses – made joining the Full Circle program “a no brainer”.
“Besides the brands being already popular within the store, it happened to be paired with CR Labs who have the most amazing service. So now customers get fabulous brands with great lenses in a super-fast timeframe,” said Ms Hotker. “One of the best reasons for the Full Circle program is the ability to keep stock on the shelves and not have to spend time re-ordering and re-entering stock into the system. It is a huge time saver. Patients also receive new stock when purchasing. The ordering system through CR Labs is extremely easy to navigate and another huge timesaver.”

Operating from CR Labs’ facility in Melbourne, Victoria Mr Fletcher said “the Full Circle program sets a new benchmark in the industry, offering an environmentally responsible supply model that drives significant savings in time and better margins”.
