Hardware & building supplies
Hardware and building supplies shops juggle thousands of SKUs, trade customers on account, and fast counter sales all day. Tallium AI puts fast POS, live stock and GST-ready accounting in one app, so a bag of cement, a box of screws and a full order of timber all reconcile without double entry. It is built for busy Singapore counters that need accuracy without hiring a bookkeeper.

Key takeaways
Fasteners, fittings, paint, tools and timber all move at different speeds, and loose items sold by weight or length are easy to miscount. Manual stock cards fall behind fast, so you never really know what is on the shelf.
Contractors and renovation firms expect credit terms and monthly statements, but chasing who owes what across paper invoices is a headache. Cash flow suffers when overdue accounts slip through the cracks.
Once you cross the S$1,000,000 taxable turnover threshold you must charge GST correctly and file an accurate GST F5 return with IRAS. Reconstructing GST from a shoebox of receipts every quarter wastes days and invites errors.
A queue of tradespeople at 8am does not wait for staff to hunt for prices or write invoices by hand. Pricing mistakes and un-rung items quietly eat into thin hardware margins.
Load your full range once with barcodes, units and supplier costs, then sell by piece, box, weight or length. Every sale updates stock instantly so you can see real quantities from the counter or your phone.
Set credit limits and terms per trade customer, invoice on account, and send clean monthly statements in a click. Tallium AI flags overdue balances so you collect faster and protect cash flow.
