About the Simple Order System

My name is Ron, and I own a photo lab in San Diego called ProLabPrints.com aka Fromex Photo. I built the SOS because I wanted a simple, quick and inexpensive way for my customers to order online - on any device.

I did not build this system to be the best system available, more of something that fills a particular niche, and does so at a minimum cost, which in my lab it does perfectly.

Please note that while this system is reliable and easy to maintain, it is not 100% perfect and can fail for a variety of reasons.

Please note the following about this system:

  • Offering this service to other labs is not our focus - it is available and it does work but aspects of getting it setup initially can be a little rough around the edges. There is also a lack of documentation.
  • All images are kept in YOUR S3 account, if you delete them they cannot be recovered.
  • We do not keep any order info other than some metrics - order #, last name, # of images and date. If you loose the email or the POS report there is no way to recover the order info.
