Bookshops & stationery · Singapore
A bookshop or stationery store in Singapore lives on thousands of tiny SKUs — ISBNs, pen refills, art paper, exercise books, and a back-to-school rush that empties your shelves in a fortnight. Tallium AI puts fast counter billing, live stock across every title and item, and GST-ready accounting into one app, so you stop stitching together a till, a spreadsheet and a bookkeeper's file. Unlimited users on every plan, one flat monthly price in USD, and no per-seat fees when you bring on holiday staff.
From $79/month per shop · billed monthly · no free trial
Key takeaways
A single shop can carry 8,000 ISBNs plus pens, files, art supplies and gift wrap. Most systems make you type titles by hand at the counter, so stock counts drift within weeks and you end up telling a customer a title is in when it sold three days ago.
Back-to-school in December and January, exam season, Chinese New Year gifting — you commit cash to stock long before you know what moves. Guess high and dead stock sits in the storeroom; guess low and you lose the sale to a chain store down the road.
If you're GST-registered you need clean, tax-coded records behind every sale, supplier invoice and return before the GST F5 return is due. Rekeying till totals into a spreadsheet each quarter is slow, and it's where mistakes creep in.
Publishers on sale-or-return, a customer waiting on a special-order title, a school handing you a bulk stationery list — each one needs tracking outside the normal sale. On paper they get forgotten, and you either pay for stock you should have returned or lose a customer who was never called back.
Scan the ISBN or product barcode and the sale is done — price, GST treatment and stock movement all handled in one tap. The POS keeps working through a patchy connection and syncs when it's back, so a busy Saturday queue never stalls.
Every sale, return and goods-received note updates stock instantly, and Tallium AI's AI insights surface your slow movers, your steady repeat sellers and what ran out during last year's back-to-school peak. You buy against real numbers instead of memory.
Sales, supplier bills and expenses are tax-coded as they happen, and receipt scanning reads supplier invoices so you're not typing them in. When the GST F5 return is due, your figures are already sitting there with the transactions behind them — always confirm current rules with IRAS or a local tax professional.
Log a special order against a customer, track consignment stock separately from what you own, and raise an invoice for a school or corporate account without leaving the app. The Tallium AI suite's CRM and Marketing sit under the same login, so calling that customer back is a task, not a sticky note.
Barcode-first billing for ISBNs and stationery SKUs, with offline mode, returns, exchanges and multiple payment types at the counter.
Live stock across thousands of titles and items, with reorder points, supplier records, goods receiving and stocktake on the mobile app.
Sales, purchases and expenses posted automatically from the shop floor, with AI receipt scanning and profit reporting you can read in a minute.
GST-coded transactions, standard-rated and zero-rated handling, and reports lined up with the GST F5 return format.
Bestsellers, dead stock, margin by category and daily takings — on your phone, without exporting anything.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
