Fruit & vegetable shops · Philippines
Fresh produce is the hardest kind of stock to sell well: prices move with every delivery, kilos shrink overnight, and a slow queue at 6am costs you the whole morning rush. Tallium AI gives your fruit and vegetable shop a fast counter, live stock by kilo or piece, and books that stay VAT-ready — all in one app on one flat USD price. Whether you run one stall in a palengke or three branded shops across Metro Manila, everything sits under a single account with unlimited users, so every helper, cashier and family member can log in at no extra cost.

Key takeaways
Ampalaya at PHP 60 a kilo on Monday can be PHP 95 by Thursday after a typhoon or a bad harvest in Benguet. If your selling prices are written on cardboard and updated from memory, you find out you sold below cost only when the cash at the end of the day does not make sense. Most shops never work out true margin per item because the cost keeps moving.
Bananas ripen, kangkong wilts, and mangoes bruise in the crate. A crate that came in at 20kg sells as 17kg after trimming, damage and free-taste. Without a record of what was thrown out, you cannot tell the difference between honest spoilage, over-ordering and stock walking out the back — and the loss just shows up as a thinner week.
Peak hours are early morning and after office. Every basket needs weighing, a suki discount, sometimes a mix of cash, GCash and Maya, and a receipt. A cashier keying in prices from a laminated list slows the whole line, and mis-keyed prices at speed become losses nobody can trace later.
Once gross sales pass the PHP 3,000,000 threshold you are looking at VAT registration and quarterly 2550Q filing, while much of your buying is from farmers and market traders who give you handwritten chits or nothing at all. Reconstructing sales, purchases and input VAT from paper at the end of a quarter is stressful, slow and easy to get wrong.
Log each delivery at the price you actually paid, and Tallium AI keeps a running cost per kilo or per piece behind every item. The POS shows you the margin as you set today's shelf price, and AI insights flag lines where your selling price has drifted below or barely above cost after the latest delivery. You price with numbers instead of a hunch, and you can update a price once and have it apply at every branch.
Staff mark spoiled, trimmed or given-away stock in a few taps, and it comes off inventory with a reason attached. Reports show wastage by item, by day and by branch, so you can see that Friday's dahon ng sili order is consistently 30 percent too big or that a particular crate supplier delivers fruit that never lasts. Loss prevention tools also surface unusual voids, discounts and refunds at the counter so shrinkage that is not spoilage does not stay invisible.
Sell by weight or by piece, scan a barcode or tap a favourite tile for loose produce, apply a suki price without typing over the total, and split payment between cash, GCash, Maya or card. Stock moves the moment the sale is rung up, so what you see on the screen matches what is on the table. It runs on an ordinary tablet or laptop, so you can add a second counter for peak hours without buying a whole new system.
Every sale, purchase and expense lands in the accounting side automatically, with VAT handled on the transactions you tell it are VATable — including zero-rated or exempt treatment where it applies to your goods. Snap a photo of a supplier chit or delivery receipt and AI receipt scanning reads the amounts and files it against the right supplier. When 2550Q time comes, you pull sales and input VAT summaries out of the app instead of a shoebox. Rules and treatment of agricultural goods change, so confirm current rules with BIR or a local tax professional before you file.
Weight-based and per-piece selling, barcode or tile entry, suki pricing, split payments across cash, GCash, Maya and card, and receipts printed or sent digitally. Works on a tablet or laptop and keeps selling the moment the queue builds.
Live stock by kilo, piece or crate with true landed cost per delivery, wastage logging with reasons, and reorder alerts based on how fast each line actually moves through your shop.
Sales, purchases, supplier payments and daily expenses post automatically into a proper set of books, with AI receipt scanning for handwritten market chits and delivery receipts.
Track output and input VAT on your transactions, keep TIN details on invoices, and pull the sales and purchase summaries you need when preparing the quarterly 2550Q.
Daily takings, margin by item, wastage trends and best and worst sellers — plus plain-English AI insights that point out where cost, price or spoilage moved against you this week.
