Printing & Signage · Nigeria
Running a print shop in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt means juggling walk-in jobs, corporate accounts on credit, materials that move fast, and a jobs book that never quite matches the bank. Tallium AI puts quoting, invoicing, POS, materials stock and VAT-ready accounting in one app, so you can price a job properly, invoice it the moment it leaves the counter, and see what you actually earned. One flat price in USD, unlimited users, no per-seat fees.

Key takeaways
A customer asks for 1,000 flyers on 300gsm, then calls back wanting 2,000 with lamination. The quote lives in a chat thread, the revised price lives in someone's head, and by the time the job is delivered nobody is sure what was agreed. Disputes at collection cost you the margin you fought for.
Boards, vinyl, flex banner, inks, toner, laminate film, eyelets and frames all leave the store without a record. You know you bought them, but you can't say which job consumed what. When the price of imported media jumps, your old prices quietly stop covering cost and you only notice when the bank balance says so.
Churches, schools, agencies and contractors take delivery on Friday and pay 'end of month'. Without a proper receivables list, chasing means scrolling through a notebook. Some invoices simply never get followed up, and the ones that do get chased are chased late.
If your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold you are expected to charge VAT, issue compliant invoices and file monthly VAT returns with the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS, formerly FIRS). Cash sales at the counter, credit jobs and material purchases all have to be captured, and reconstructing that from receipts at month-end is a long, error-prone night.
Build a quotation with line items for printing, finishing, installation and delivery, send it to the customer, and revise it as the job changes — every version is saved against the customer. When they approve, turn the quote into an invoice in one tap with the correct TIN, VAT treatment and job description already on it. No re-typing, no forgotten add-ons.
Set up your boards, rolls, inks, laminates and frames as inventory items with purchase costs. Record purchases against suppliers, deduct usage as jobs are completed, and see live quantities on your phone before you promise a customer a delivery date. When supplier prices move, you can see the effect on job cost immediately instead of guessing.
Every credit job creates a receivable with a due date. An ageing report shows who owes what and how overdue it is, so a five-minute Monday review replaces an evening with the notebook. Send statements and payment reminders to corporate accounts from the same app, and mark payments off as they hit the bank.
Snap supplier receipts with the mobile app and let AI read and categorise them. Counter sales, credit invoices and expenses post to the ledger as they happen, so your VAT position and profit per month are visible any day, not just after a marathon reconciliation. Always confirm current rules with NRS or a local tax professional before you file.
Quotes that turn into VAT-ready invoices with your TIN, job details and terms — sent by email or WhatsApp from your phone, with payment status tracked to the naira.
Raise POs to your paper, media and ink suppliers, record what arrived at what price, and keep landed costs attached to the materials you actually consume.
Live counts on boards, rolls, inks, laminate and finishing consumables, with low-stock alerts so a big order never stalls waiting on a reorder.
Double-entry books that build themselves from sales, purchases and expenses, with receivables ageing, profit reports and AI-scanned receipts.
Apply VAT correctly on invoices and pull the sales and purchase figures you need for your monthly VAT return — verify current requirements with NRS.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
