Convenience stores & mini-marts — Philippines
Convenience stores in the Philippines live on small margins and fast queues — a hundred small baskets a day, hundreds of SKUs, and suppliers dropping stock at odd hours. Tallium AI gives you a quick counter POS, live stock counts that update with every sale, and accounting that keeps your VAT figures and books tidy in the same app. One account, unlimited users, one flat monthly price in USD.

Key takeaways
Peak hours are brutal — the morning rush, lunch, and the after-work crowd all hit at once. If your POS is slow to find a SKU, needs a mouse for every step, or freezes when the internet drops, customers walk out and leave full baskets on the shelf.
Mini-marts carry hundreds of fast-moving items across drinks, snacks, load, toiletries and canned goods. Without live stock, you find out you're out of the top-selling softdrink or shampoo sachet only when a customer asks, and slow items quietly tie up cash on the back shelf.
Small, cheap, high-turn items are the easiest to lose. Between spoilage, miskeyed prices, staff discounts and short-changed drawers, a few hundred pesos a day disappears — and by the time you notice it in the monthly count, the trail is cold.
Sales tapes in one pile, supplier invoices in another, and a notebook of expenses in between. Pulling together gross sales and input VAT for your quarterly VAT return (2550Q) turns into a weekend of sorting paper instead of running the store.
Scan or tap to ring up an item, take cash, card or e-wallet, and print or send the receipt. Favourites and top sellers sit on the front screen so staff don't hunt for SKUs, and the till keeps taking sales on a tablet or phone during the rush without you standing over it.
Every scan drops the count in real time, so what you see on your phone is what's on the shelf. Set reorder points on your fast movers and Tallium AI flags them before they run out, then turns the shortlist into a purchase order for your supplier.
Loss prevention and roles and permissions let you cap who can void a sale, change a price or open the drawer, and every override is logged against a named user. Daily cash-up compares counted cash to expected takings, so a gap shows up the same day, not next month.
Sales post straight to your accounts, receipts are scanned and categorised by AI, and VAT is tracked on both sales and purchases as you go. When your quarterly VAT return (2550Q) is due, your gross sales and input VAT totals are already sitting in a report — confirm current rules with BIR or a local tax professional.
Fast barcode scanning, cash, card and e-wallet payments, split baskets, returns and a clean end-of-shift cash-up for every till.
Live counts across hundreds of SKUs, reorder alerts, batch and expiry tracking for chilled and dated goods, and supplier cost history.
Sales, purchases and expenses in one ledger, AI receipt scanning, and profit by month without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.
Track VAT on sales and purchases against your TIN and pull the totals you need for the quarterly VAT return (2550Q).
Sales by hour, top and dead SKUs, margin by category, and daily takings by till — on your phone before you leave the store.
