Group Software, LLC ![Tom Doyle](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/847f3e676cf131b483c37cecdaac7120) by [Tom Doyle](https://blog.framesdata.com/author/tom-doyle) on December 7, 2015 at 12:29 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) - - - **New York, NY -** The M.S. Group Software, developers of The Visual Management System (VMS) practice management software, has announced the completion of its integration with Frames Data IDA. New inventory management features will be added to the software that will make inventory processes easier and more efficient for VMS users. "We're very happy to be working with The M.S. Group Software," says Tom Doyle, Director of Marketing and Key Accounts at Frames Data. "This integration makes it much easier for eyecare professionals using VMS to effectively manage their inventory and keep it up-to-date." Frames Data IDA (Immediate Data Access) enables frame information to be accessed within VMS' platform via the internet from Frames Data's webservice. Detailed frame information, including UPC codes, sizes, colors, and the latest pricing are readily available when VMS is connected to an active Frames Data IDA subscription.  The data can then be used to set retail pricing, as well as populate orders, lab jobs and managed care claims processed by the software. "We update our database every day," said Doyle. "What's really exciting about these new integrations is that opticians and staff can get those changes almost as soon as they've been made, and at the touch of a button. They aren't waiting around for an update file or CD. Plus they don't have to hand-enter all that data, which is always laborious and often introduces costly errors." According to Kendal Kight, IT Manager of M.S. Group Software, the new functionality will make it easy to keep frame details and pricing up to date. "We knew it was important that the frame wholesale prices and other details stay in sync with what Frames Data has published. We made it so that you can run a process that takes what you have in your inventory and find what's changed in Frames Data. You have the option of printing the list so you can make changes to your physical frame inventory if needed. You can also then automatically update what you have in your electronic inventory, so you don't have to do it manually."
