Getting Started

Confirm Your Artisan Lab

Identify the lab supporting your account, confirm service contacts, and know who to call before sending work.

Choose Your Artisan Lab

Select the lab named in your Artisan account confirmation. If you are unsure, contact customer service before sending orders or frames.

Select your lab to view verified contact and shipping guidance.

No lab is selected by default, so your work is never routed based on a guess.

Reports

Portal

Purchases & Performance

Purchases & Performance

Use this area when the practice wants to understand what it is buying, how product mix is changing, and where there may be opportunity. It is not a billing replacement; it is a performance review tool.

  • Track purchasing trends by period so the team can see whether usage is growing, flat, or shifting.
  • Compare current and previous periods before changing product recommendations.
  • Analyze product usage to see which lens families, AR treatments, or programs need more staff confidence.
  • Use opportunities as a follow-up list for training, demos, or rep conversations.

Pricing

Portal

Pricing & Policies

Pricing & Policies

This is where staff should go before quoting or explaining account rules. Pricing is account-specific, so do not rely on a copied sheet from another practice. Some lens systems, including B5, use bundled package pricing that should be quoted before the core list, and safety/frame programs may use their own package logic.

  • Open the assigned price list for the practice, not a generic public resource.
  • Review package pricing first when the order uses a system or bundle, especially B5 lens systems and safety/frame packages.
  • Check policies before promising remake, warranty, shipping, or frame handling outcomes.
  • Use policy pages to train new staff on what the lab can approve and what needs review.

Programs

Portal

Programs & Opportunities

Programs & Opportunities

Programs and opportunities are account-specific prompts. Use them as a launch checklist for business programs, product initiatives, and partner opportunities the practice has access to.

  • Confirm which business programs are active for the account.
  • Use growth initiatives as a discussion guide with the practice owner or manager.
  • Review product opportunities when the team is underusing a product they intended to launch.
  • Ask customer service or the rep before assuming a program applies.

Quote

Portal

Price Quote Builder

Price Quote Builder

Use the Price Quote Builder before quoting complex orders. It helps the team combine lens design, material, AR, finishing, and shipping choices into an estimated lab price. For B5 and other bundled lens systems, the package path should be used because the package prices the chosen products first.

  • Start with the correct price list and product family, then switch to the package path whenever the lens system is bundled.
  • Add material, coating, finishing, and shipping selections in the same way the order will be placed.
  • If the system qualifies for bundled pricing, choose the package option first so the package components price out before the base list.
  • Treat the result as an estimate and confirm unusual orders with the lab before promising a patient price.

Pricing

Pricing and Safety Systems

Use the core price list, understand when bundled lens systems like B5 price first, and prepare safety/frame orders correctly.

Artisan Safety Systems

Artisan Safety Systems is a frame and lens safety program. It includes safety frames, safety lenses, and tiered pricing shown on the safety price list. Use this section before quoting safety jobs, ordering frames, or sending safety work to the lab, and mark supply when the order should price from supplied inventory.

What Artisan Safety Systems is

Artisan Safety Systems is a safety frame and lens program for practices serving employers, workers, and occupational eyewear needs. It is packaged as frames plus lenses, so staff should treat it as a bundled order path instead of a normal retail frame sale.

Where safety pricing lives

Safety pricing is tiered on the Y5 safety price list. Use the tier shown on the price list before quoting frames, safety lenses, upgrades, side-shield needs, or package combinations, and mark the order as supply when the practice is using supplied-inventory pricing.

How to order safety

Confirm the employer or occupational need, choose an approved safety frame option, then place the lens order through the correct ordering method. The frame system and the modern optical safety path are both packages that include frames and lenses, and the package should price first. Ask customer service to review the first safety orders if the practice has not used the program before.

How to obtain safety frames

Order the free safety kit for demonstration frames and program materials. Use the frame books below to compare ArmouRx, DVX/Wiley X, Wiley X, ArtCraft, and SafeVision options.

How to Participate

  1. 1Open the Y5 Safety Systems price list and review frame tiers.
  2. 2Order the free safety kit or use the vendor frame books to choose frames.
  3. 3Confirm ordering method and lab routing before sending safety jobs.
  4. 4Remember that safety systems and frame systems are packages with frames and lenses, so the package should price before the core list when it applies.
  5. 5Include a frame manifest for customer-supplied frames or safety frames sent to the lab.
  6. 6Mark supply when appropriate so the correct pricing path is used.
  7. 7Ask customer service to review anything unusual before promising the patient or employer.

Need help? Contact customer service for shipping labels, first-order review, safety pricing questions, or frame program setup.

Order Setup

Ordering Methods

Choose each ordering method your practice will use and complete the setup steps before live orders.

Which ordering methods will your practice use?

Select every method your office will use. If Unity/VSP is selected in Product and Lens Training, Eyefinity is preselected as the default VSP workflow.

DVI should be confirmed before live orders. Customer service can help verify the correct lab connection, account number, lab routing, product availability, and lens setup. If the practice uses DVI, they can log in with the desktop client at https://thedvi.com/download-rxwizard/ or use the web-based version at https://www.rxwizardonline.com/.

  1. 1Call the customer service team for the lab selected above.
  2. 2Confirm whether the practice already has DVI access or needs setup assistance.
  3. 3Ask customer service to verify the account number, lab routing, product availability, and any VSP notes.
  4. 4Submit the first order only after the connection is confirmed.
Does your practice management software automatically send orders?

Selected Training

Artisan Designs Training

Use this when the practice will dispense Artisan private-label designs. The goal is for staff to understand the product ladder, how to position each family, and where to find fitting charts before ordering.

Use Diamond, Platinum, Gold, and Artisan Design Series guides to explain the product lineup.
Use layout charts before placing progressive, office, or specialty orders so measurements and fitting heights match the design.
Use Artisan AR pages alongside the design guides so staff can recommend a complete lens, not just a design.

Provider Resources

Practice Resources

Patient Support

Patient Resources

Know why patients use the public resources and where Tokai or specialty lens content fits.

Find Tokai providers

Patients may use public resources to locate participating practices or understand where Tokai specialty products are available.

Learn about specialty lenses

Patient resources should explain why a lens category matters in plain language. Staff should use it to support, not replace, the in-office recommendation.

Review educational content

Use public education when a patient wants to read after the visit or when staff need a consistent explanation for premium, specialty, or occupational recommendations.

Find participating practices

Locator content helps direct patients to practices connected to specific product relationships or specialty offerings.

Logistics

Sending Frames & Shipping

Send frames, labels, manifests, and order information in a way that avoids receiving delays.

A shipping box being packed with protective material

Shipping Step 1

Sending frames to the lab

Confirm whether the order is frame-to-come, traced, uncuts only, or part of a complete-pair/frame program. Package frames so they arrive with the order information the lab needs to match the job. If the order is Neurolens only, shipping is charged by the box and the practice can choose ground, 2-day, or overnight.

A shipping label being applied to a parcel

Shipping Step 2

Labels and order paperwork

Use the shipping label or ordering paperwork tied to the correct lab and account. If the practice works with more than one Artisan lab, do not reuse labels without confirming the route. For mixed orders beyond Neurolens, traditional shipping options should follow the standard overnight path.

Eyeglasses protected inside a hard case

Shipping Step 3

Packaging expectations

Protect frames from bending, scratching, or case damage. Include enough identifying information that receiving can connect the physical frame to the electronic order.

A fragile package marked for careful handling

Shipping Step 4

When to ask before shipping

Ask before shipping unusual frames, safety frames, drilled mounts, high-wrap jobs, fragile patient frames, or anything tied to a program rule the team has not used before.

Shipping Actions

Use the frame manifest when sending frames to the lab so the lab can match frames, patients, accounts, and orders correctly. Request labels before the first shipment so frames route to the correct lab. Neurolens-only shipments use box-based shipping, while mixed orders follow the usual shipping options.
