The daily headaches we remove

Hundreds of near-identical SKUs

A 30ml, 50ml and 100ml of the same fragrance, plus a dozen lipstick shades, all look alike at the till. Without barcode-level tracking, staff ring up the wrong variant and your stock counts drift within a week.

Testers and shrinkage eat margin

Open testers, samples and small high-value bottles are easy to lose or pilfer. Most shops only notice the gap at stock-take, long after the money is gone.

VAT and reporting done by hand

If you're registered for VAT with SARS, tallying output and input VAT from till rolls and supplier invoices for your VAT201 is slow and error-prone, especially across busy weekend trade.

No clear view of what actually sells

Seasonal launches, gift sets and slow-moving lines all blur together. Without live reports you over-order dead stock and run out of the fragrances customers keep asking for.

How Tallium AI fixes it

Barcode POS built for variants

Scan each size and shade as its own SKU so the right item, price and stock level is captured every time. Cash, card and split payments ring through in seconds, even at a busy counter.

Live stock with loss prevention

Every sale, return and tester write-off updates inventory in real time. Set reorder points on your fast movers and flag unusual discounts or voids so shrinkage shows up the same day, not at year-end.

VAT-ready books, automatically

Tallium AI records VAT on every sale and purchase and keeps a running total you can use when preparing your VAT201 on SARS eFiling. Receipt scanning captures supplier invoices so input VAT isn't missed. Confirm current rules with SARS or a qualified local tax professional.

Reports and AI insights

See best-sellers, margins by brand and slow lines at a glance, with AI insights pointing out what to reorder and what to clear. Plan launches and gift-season buys with real numbers instead of guesswork.
