Logistics & courier — Nigeria
Moving parcels, pallets and containers across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and everywhere in between generates a mountain of paperwork — waybills, fuel receipts, driver floats, corporate invoices and a monthly VAT return that has to tie back to all of it. Tallium AI puts your hub stock, customer invoicing, expenses and accounts in one app, so the numbers are already lined up when it is time to file. Unlimited users on every plan means dispatchers, hub staff, finance and management all work from the same live picture without paying per seat.
From $99/month per warehouse · billed monthly · no free trial
Key takeaways
Corporate accounts want consolidated monthly invoices with every waybill listed, SME shippers want to pay on the spot, and cash-on-delivery riders bring in money that never quite matches the manifest. Most operators reconcile this in spreadsheets long after the month has closed, which is exactly when disputes and write-offs appear.
Fuel slips, tyre repairs, tolls, park fees and rider allowances come back crumpled in a pouch at the end of the week. By the time someone types them up, nobody can say which trip or which vehicle they belonged to, so route profitability is guesswork and your cost of service is always an estimate.
Packaging materials, spare parts, client-owned goods held in your warehouse and undelivered parcels sitting on racks all need counting. Without live stock records, staff walk the floor to answer a customer's 'where is my consignment?' and shrinkage only shows up at the annual count.
Nigerian logistics operators have to charge VAT on qualifying services, file a monthly VAT return with the Nigeria Revenue Service, quote a valid TIN and keep records that stand up to review — while the National E-Invoicing Solution rollout changes what your documents must carry. Paper waybills and offline spreadsheets make that harder every quarter.
Raise a professional invoice the moment a job closes, or batch a month of consignments into a single statement for a corporate account. Tallium AI tracks what is unpaid and for how long, sends reminders, and records COD collections against the right customer so your receivables ledger and your dispatch records agree.
Photograph a fuel slip or toll receipt with the mobile app and Tallium AI reads it, categorises it and posts it to your accounts. Drivers and hub supervisors can capture spend on the road — unlimited users means you never pay extra to let them do it — so cost per trip and cost per vehicle stay current instead of arriving weeks late.
Track packaging, consumables, spares and stored client goods across every hub, with movements recorded as they happen and stock counts done from a phone. Multi-location views let a Lagos hub and an Abuja hub run independently while head office sees the whole network in one screen.
Tallium AI applies the correct VAT treatment to each invoice, keeps input VAT on your purchases and expenses in the same ledger, and produces the summaries you need to prepare your monthly VAT return for NRS. Records are digital, dated and exportable — the shape of record-keeping the National E-Invoicing Solution expects. Confirm current rules with NRS or a local tax professional.
Per-job or consolidated monthly invoices for corporate shippers, with your TIN, VAT lines and payment tracking built in.
Full double-entry books with AI receipt scanning for fuel, tolls, maintenance and driver floats — no bookkeeping background needed.
VAT applied correctly on sales and purchases, with the figures you need to prepare your monthly VAT return for NRS.
