New York, NY – Frames Data has announced its newest venture, an expansion to serve the Canadian marketplace. Two new products are planned which will provide subscribers with frame information from Canadian manufacturers and distributors, with Canadian pricing in Canadian dollars.

Frames Data’s very first Canadian specific product, Frames Data Immediate , will serve detailed information about frames available in Canada from the recently upgraded Frames Data web service.  This data will then be accessed by subscribers directly inside their practice management software.  It is now available for integration with software providers active in the Canadian market.

Frames Data Immediate will be followed by a website-only version for eyecare professionals, to be launched later this year.

“Frames Data has always had customers in Canada.  This new product will allow us to fully meet their needs,” says Tom Doyle, Director of Marketing and Key Accounts at Frames Data. “Canadian Frames Data subscribers will have all the details, including sizes, measurements, and UPC codes for instance, conveniently loaded into their software so that they can avoid the time-consuming data entry.  But now they’ll also have the wholesale price in the correct currency, and that opens up a whole host of possibilities in terms of profitability reports, setting retail rates and really any kind of functionality that depends on accurate pricing.”

Frames Data’s web service is now available for integration with software providers serving the Canadian market.  Software providers already signed on to launch Canadian integrations include Acuitas, My Vision Express and RevolutionEHR. Completed integrations will be announced in coming weeks.

Eyecare Professionals interested in using Frames Data Immediate should contact their software providers to request integration.  For more information, visit www.framesdata.com/ca.

Software providers interested in integration should email marketing@framesdata.com.
