Industry — Butcheries & Meat Shops
Running a butchery in Singapore means selling by weight, cutting stock down through the day, and still keeping books clean enough for a GST F5 return. Tallium AI puts a fast counter POS, live meat inventory and full accounting in one app, so a kilo sold at the counter updates your stock and your ledger at the same moment. One flat monthly price in USD, unlimited users on every plan, and no per-seat fees as your team grows.

Key takeaways
Most cheap tills expect you to ring up items one at a time. A butchery sells 0.68 kg of beef short rib, 1.4 kg of chicken thigh, a marinated pack priced per 100g. Staff end up typing prices in manually, which is slow at the lunch rush and quietly hides margin errors nobody catches until month end.
You buy a whole primal, break it down into steaks, mince, trim and bones, and only some of that reaches the counter at full price. Without a way to record what one input became, your stock figures drift within days and you cannot tell whether a supplier price rise or your own trim loss is eating the margin.
Chilled meat has days, not months. Marked-down trays, unsold weekend stock and freezer transfers all need tracking, but in a busy shop they get handled on gut feel. By the time you notice a pattern you have already thrown away several weeks of profit.
If your taxable turnover crosses S$1,000,000 you must register for GST with IRAS, and every quarter someone has to reconcile counter takings, supplier invoices and bank deposits into a GST F5 return. Doing that from a shoebox of thermal receipts and a spreadsheet is the part of the business owners dread most.
Ring up items by weight or by piece, apply price-per-kg or price-per-100g, and take cash, card, PayNow or QR without leaving the sale screen. Staff can key a weight straight in, split a sale across payment types, and apply markdowns on ageing trays with a tap — so the queue moves and the price on the receipt is the price you meant to charge.
Track raw purchases in kilos and record how a primal is broken down into the products you actually sell, so your counter stock reflects real yield. Every sale, wastage entry and freezer transfer reduces stock in real time, and you can see at a glance which lines are running out before the evening trade starts.
Log batches with use-by dates, record markdowns and write-offs in seconds, and let the AI insights surface the patterns — which cuts you consistently over-order, which days waste spikes, which supplier price change quietly moved your gross margin. It is the kind of read you would only get from a bookkeeper who watched your shop every day.
Sales, purchases and expenses post to the accounts automatically, GST is tracked on every transaction against your GST registration number, and receipt scanning turns supplier paperwork into categorised entries by photo. When the quarter closes, the figures for your GST F5 return are already there instead of waiting to be rebuilt. Confirm current registration thresholds, filing dates and InvoiceNow (Peppol) e-invoicing requirements with IRAS or a local tax professional.
