Convenience stores & mini-marts

POS software for convenience stores and mini-marts in Nigeria

A mini-mart in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt can ring up hundreds of small baskets a day — sachets, soft drinks, bread, recharge cards, provisions — and every one of them moves stock and cash you need to account for. Tallium AI gives you a quick counter POS, live stock counts across your shelves and back store, and books that stay VAT-ready for your monthly return, all in one app. It runs on the till, on your phone and offline-friendly hardware you already have, so the queue keeps moving even when the day is busy.

From $79/month per shop · billed monthly · no free trial

The daily headaches we remove

Fast-moving basics run out before you notice

Bread, sachet water, milk, noodles and airtime top-ups turn over several times a week. Without live stock counts you only find out an item is finished when a customer asks for it, and by then they have walked to the shop down the road. Manual stock books are always a day or two behind the shelf.

Cash, transfer and card takings never quite reconcile

Customers pay in naira cash, by bank transfer to your business account, and by card or QR on a terminal. At close, matching the drawer, the transfer alerts on your phone and the terminal settlement is slow, error-prone work — and small gaps quietly become losses you cannot explain at month end.

VAT and record-keeping get pushed to the last minute

Once your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold, you owe a monthly VAT return and you need clean records of standard-rated and exempt items behind it. Stores that keep sales in a notebook end up rebuilding a month of figures in a rush, guessing at splits and hoping nothing is queried.

Shrinkage, expiry and staff turnover eat the margin

Convenience retail runs on thin margins per item, so a few expired cartons, a mis-keyed price or an unrecorded 'family' sale wipes out a day's profit. When several attendants share one till and staff change often, it is hard to see who sold what, who gave a discount, and where the shortfall started.

How Tallium AI fixes it

A counter POS built for small, fast baskets

Scan a barcode or tap a favourite item — sachet water, bread, recharge — and take payment in cash, card, transfer or a split of the three. Tallium AI's POS keeps the queue moving, prints or shares a receipt, and every sale immediately reduces stock and posts to your accounts. Because users are unlimited, every attendant gets their own login at no extra cost.

Live stock counts and reorder alerts on your shelves

Stock moves the moment you sell, receive a supplier delivery or record a write-off, so what you see on your phone matches the shelf. Set a minimum level on your fast movers and Tallium AI tells you what to reorder before it runs dry, and flags slow or expiring lines you should push or return.

Daily takings that reconcile themselves

Cash, card and transfer takings are separated by payment method at close, so you can match the drawer, your bank alerts and terminal settlements in minutes rather than hours. Bank reconciliation pulls your statement lines alongside recorded sales, and AI-scanned supplier receipts land in expenses without retyping.

Books that stay ready for your monthly VAT return

Tag items as standard-rated or exempt once and Tallium AI keeps the running totals behind your monthly VAT return, with your TIN and business details on compliant invoices. Reports show output and input VAT by period so filing is a review, not a rebuild. Rules change — confirm current rates, thresholds, e-invoicing requirements and filing dates with NRS or a local tax professional.
