Our take
Healthcare management software is projected to grow to a value of over $25B by 2030, providing ample opportunity for success in the sector. Ocuco operates in this lucrative space, having cornered the market for eyecare software through products including "Acuitas" and "Innovations".
Acuitas is software designed for independent opticians and chain stores, providing a streamlining process for patient care management, and omnichannel sales and marketing tools. Innovations is a Lab Management System designed to optimise processes in lens manufacturing, calculations and inventory for glasses production.
Together, these two products serve thousands of global sites and labs - showcasing Ocuco's success in the sector. Founded in 1993, the company has evidently kept up with technological innovations, and continues to develop well in the face of an accelerating healthcare management system industry.
