Manufacturing & small factories — Nigeria
If you run a small factory in Lagos, Aba, Kano, Onitsha or Port Harcourt, your money sits in three places at once: raw materials in the store, work in progress on the floor, and finished goods waiting for distributors. Tallium AI keeps all three in one app, so you can see what a batch really cost you, what stock you actually hold, and what VAT you owe — without rebuilding a spreadsheet every month. One flat price in USD, unlimited users, and every module included from day one.

Key takeaways
Between the drums of raw material, diesel for the generator, casual labour and packaging, the real cost per carton is a guess. When a distributor pushes for a discount you have no idea whether you are still making money or quietly funding their margin.
The store keeper has one exercise book, the production supervisor has another, and the accountant has a spreadsheet that is three weeks behind. By the time the numbers are reconciled, material has already gone missing or a line has stopped because a key input ran out.
Nigeria's VAT return is filed monthly, so there is no quiet season. Pulling together sales invoices, supplier invoices and input VAT from paper files every month eats days that should go into production — and mistakes are only spotted when NRS asks a question.
When a supplier raises the price of resin, packaging or imported components, your selling price often stays where it was for weeks. Without a live view of landed cost per unit, price rises quietly eat the margin on every carton you ship.
Build a bill of materials for each product, then record a production run that consumes raw materials and creates finished goods at cost. Tallium AI carries the material cost through automatically, so you can see cost per unit and gross margin per product line instead of estimating.
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods sit in the same system with the same numbers. Your store keeper issues material from a phone, the office sees the balance immediately, and reorder alerts tell you which input is about to stop the line.
Sales and purchase invoices are tagged with the right VAT treatment as they are entered, and input VAT on supplier invoices is captured at the same time. When your monthly VAT return is due, the figures are already summarised — always confirm current rules and rates with NRS or a qualified local tax professional before filing.
AI insights flag when supplier costs climb, when a product's margin drops below its usual band, or when material usage per unit drifts from your bill of materials. You get the warning while you can still adjust price or investigate wastage.
Raw materials, WIP and finished goods in one ledger, with bills of materials, batch tracking and reorder alerts for the inputs that stop your line.
Raise POs to local and imported suppliers, match deliveries against what was ordered, and build landed cost including freight, duty and clearing.
Full double-entry books, supplier and customer balances, expenses with AI receipt scanning, and profit by product line — not just one company total.
VAT tracked on sales and purchases as you go, with summaries that make preparing your monthly VAT return for NRS straightforward.
Cost per unit, margin by product, stock valuation, ageing debtors and cash position — on your phone, without waiting for month end.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $99/month per warehouse.
