For Saudi importers, exporters and trading houses
Importing into Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port and moving goods out again means your real cost per item is never just the supplier invoice — it is freight, customs duty, clearing agent fees, storage and the exchange rate on the day you paid. Tallium AI puts your purchase orders, shipment costs, warehouse stock, sales and ZATCA-ready VAT accounting in one app, so you always know what a carton actually cost you and what it actually earned. One flat price in USD, unlimited users, no per-seat fees.

Key takeaways
The supplier invoice arrives in USD or CNY, the freight bill comes weeks later, the clearing agent adds duty and port charges, and the demurrage note turns up last. By the time everything lands, the goods are already sold — and you priced them on a guess. Most trading businesses in the Kingdom find out their real margin months after the money is gone.
Goods sit across a bonded area, your own store in Riyadh or Dammam, and a customer's site awaiting acceptance. Spreadsheets are updated by whoever remembers. You promise a container to a buyer that is actually already committed, or you re-order an item you have 400 cartons of upstairs.
Import VAT, reverse charge treatment, zero-rated export sales and standard-rated local sales all sit on the same trial balance, and every local sale invoice has to meet FATOORAH e-invoicing requirements. Rebuilding all of that in Excel each VAT return period is slow and easy to get wrong.
You buy in USD, EUR or CNY, sell in SAR, and the rate moves between the day you order, the day you pay the supplier and the day the customer settles. Without automatic exchange gain and loss tracking, your profit figure is fiction and your supplier balances never quite agree.
Raise a purchase order in the supplier's currency, then add freight, insurance, customs duty, clearing and port charges to that shipment as the bills arrive. Tallium AI spreads those costs across the items by value or weight and updates the cost of each SKU, so your margin report reflects what the goods truly cost to get onto your shelf.
Warehouse and multi-location tracking show what is on the water, what has cleared, what is in each store or warehouse, what is reserved for a confirmed order and what is genuinely free to sell. Scan goods in on arrival and out on despatch from the mobile app, so the number on screen is the number on the racking.
Tag sales as standard-rated, zero-rated export or exempt at the point of entry, record import VAT on purchases, and let the system build your VAT return figures for you with a full drill-down to every underlying invoice. Local sales invoices carry the fields and QR code expected under FATOORAH e-invoicing. Confirm current rules with ZATCA or a local tax professional before you file.
Record supplier bills in USD, EUR, CNY or any currency you buy in, pay them at the rate on the day, and Tallium AI posts the exchange difference automatically. Supplier statements stay clean in both the original currency and SAR, and AI insights flag when FX movement is quietly eating a product line's margin.
Raise POs in any currency, attach freight, duty, clearing and port charges to a shipment, and see the true cost per carton before you price it.
Batch, serial and container-level tracking with reserved-versus-available stock, so you never double-sell a shipment that is already spoken for.
Bin locations, goods-in checks against the PO, pick and pack, and stock counts done on a phone instead of a clipboard.
Full double-entry books in SAR with multi-currency supplier and customer ledgers, automatic FX gain and loss, and profit by shipment, product or customer.
Standard-rated, zero-rated export and exempt treatment on every line, import VAT recording, and VAT return figures you can trace back to source documents.
