POS software for convenience stores and mini-marts in Singapore

Convenience trade is impulse trade. If the till takes three taps to find a drink that has no barcode, or freezes while it syncs, customers put the basket down and walk to the shop two blocks away. Peak hours around office lunch, school dismissal and late evening decide your day's takings.

Snacks, drinks, top-up cards, ice cream, cigarettes and household basics all move at different speeds. Without live stock you either run out of your best sellers on a Friday night or sit on cartons of slow movers tying up cash. Manual stock counts on a clipboard are out of date the moment you finish them.

Bread, milk, chilled ready meals and pastries have days, not months. Every expired item you bin is money you already paid a supplier for, and most owners only discover the size of the problem when they compare purchase invoices against sales at the end of the month.

If you are GST-registered, every sale, supplier invoice and expense has to line up when the GST F5 return is due. Copying till totals into a spreadsheet, hunting for supplier invoices in a drawer and guessing which purchases carry input tax turns a quiet week into a stressful one.

Tallium AI's POS runs on a barcode scanner, keyboard or touchscreen and keeps your top sellers on quick-pick tiles for items without barcodes. Cash, card and QR payments are recorded in seconds, receipts print or go out by email, and the sale posts straight into your books — no end-of-day retyping.

Every scan reduces the on-hand figure instantly, across one shop or several outlets. Set reorder points on your fast movers and Tallium AI flags them before they run dry, then turns the shortfall into a purchase order you can send to your supplier from the same screen.

Track batches and expiry dates on chilled and bakery lines so staff can pull short-dated stock and mark it down instead of binning it. Waste, staff meals and damaged goods are logged as their own adjustment types, so you can see exactly where the margin went and act on it.

Sales are recorded with the correct GST treatment as they happen, and supplier bills and expenses can be captured by photographing the receipt — the AI reads the amounts and files them. When the GST F5 return is due, your figures are already in place with the underlying documents attached. Tallium AI also supports invoicing that fits Singapore's InvoiceNow (Peppol) direction of travel; confirm current rules with IRAS or a local tax professional.
