Can Tallium AI handle a hardware store's mixed selling units?

Yes. Each item can be set to sell by piece, metre, kilo, box, bag or any unit you use, and stock counts update correctly as you sell and receive. That means screws sold individually and cement sold by the bag stay accurate in the same catalogue.

Does it help with my quarterly BIR VAT return (2550Q)?

Tallium AI tracks output VAT on sales and input VAT on purchases as you trade, so the figures you need for the 2550Q are organised throughout the quarter rather than rebuilt at deadline. Always confirm current rules and rates with the BIR or a local tax professional before filing.

When does a Philippine hardware store need to register for VAT?

As a general guide, businesses with gross annual sales above PHP 3,000,000 are required to register for VAT under BIR rules, using your TIN. Thresholds and requirements can change, so confirm your specific situation with the BIR or a qualified local tax professional.

Can I sell to contractors on credit and track what they owe?

Yes. You can open an account for each contractor or regular customer, set a credit limit, record part-payments, and see exactly who owes what and how overdue it is. This keeps receivables visible so cash doesn't quietly slip away.

How much does Tallium AI cost for a hardware shop?

A shop unit is USD 79 per month, billed monthly from signup with unlimited users and no per-seat fees. Pricing is in US dollars, you can cancel anytime, and there is no free trial — you get the full core, including accounting, POS, inventory and VAT handling, from day one.

The daily headaches we remove

Thousands of SKUs, no real stock count

Bolts by the piece, wire by the metre, paint by the litre, cement by the bag — mixed units make manual counts painful. By the time you notice a fast-mover is out, a contractor has already walked to the shop next door.

Slow counter during the morning rush

Tradespeople want to grab, pay and go. Punching prices into a calculator or hunting for a code slows the queue and invites pricing mistakes that quietly eat your thin hardware margins.

Credit sales to contractors pile up

Regular builders buy on account and 'settle later.' Without a clear ledger of who owes what and for how long, receivables drift and cash gets tight even when sales look strong.

VAT and BIR filing stress

Keeping sales, purchases and input VAT organised for the quarterly 2550Q return is a scramble if receipts live in a shoebox. One missed figure means late nights before the deadline.

How Tallium AI fixes it

Every SKU tracked in its own unit

Set each item to sell by piece, metre, kilo, bag or box, and Tallium AI keeps a live count as you sell and receive. Low-stock alerts flag fast-movers early so cement and rebar are never out when a contractor needs them.

POS that keeps the queue moving

Scan a barcode or search by name, take cash, card or e-wallet, and print or send a receipt in seconds. Prices come straight from your item list, so the counter charges the right amount every time.

Contractor accounts you can actually see

Put credit sales on each customer's account, set limits, and view exactly who owes what and how overdue it is. Send reminders and record payments so receivables stay under control.

VAT-ready books, always current

Snap supplier receipts and Tallium AI's AI reads and categorises them, tracking output and input VAT as you go so your figures for the quarterly 2550Q are ready — no shoebox scramble.
