Pet shops & supplies — Bahrain
A pet shop in Manama, Riffa or Muharraq sells everything from 20kg sacks of dog food to a single betta fish, and each one moves at a different speed and margin. Tallium AI gives you one app for the counter, the stockroom and the books — fast billing, live stock counts, expiry tracking and VAT records ready for your NBR return. It is one flat price in USD per shop, with unlimited users, so every counter assistant and groomer can log in without paying extra per seat.

Key takeaways
Premium kibble, wet food pouches, tick treatments and vitamins all carry expiry dates, and a 15kg bag that passes its date is a straight loss. Most shops only notice when a customer turns the pack over at the till, which is embarrassing and costs you the sale as well as the stock.
You may have the same brand of cat litter on the floor, in the storeroom and on a delivery van, plus live stock in aquariums and cages that changes daily. Without one live count you over-order some lines, run dry on the fast movers, and spend Fridays doing manual stock takes.
One customer buys a single chew toy, the next buys food plus grooming plus a bag of sand, and the third wants a price for six aquarium fish by size. Typing prices from memory or a printed list slows the queue and quietly leaks margin every time someone rounds down.
Supplier invoices from feed distributors, cash purchases from the market, till receipts and card settlements end up in three different places. When the VAT return (NBR) is due you are rebuilding a whole period from paper, and it is hard to prove what you claimed.
Record batch and expiry dates on food, treats, supplements and treatments as they arrive, and Tallium AI flags what is approaching its date so you can discount or push it before it dies on the shelf. You get a simple near-expiry list you can work through in ten minutes each week.
Every sale, return, transfer and delivery updates the same stock figure, so what you see on your phone is what is actually in the shop. Set reorder points on your fast movers — dry food, litter, flea treatment — and the app tells you what to buy instead of you guessing.
Scan a barcode or search by name, sell by weight or by unit, apply a price for that size of fish or that grooming service, and take cash or card in the same ticket. Prices come from your item list, not from memory, so the discount is deliberate every time.
Sales from the POS, supplier bills and expenses all land in the same ledger with VAT recorded on each line, so your figures for the VAT return (NBR) are ready rather than reconstructed. Snap a photo of a supplier invoice and the AI reads the amount, date and tax for you; confirm current rules with NBR or a local tax professional.
Fast counter billing for mixed baskets — packaged goods, weighed feed, live stock and services — with cash, card and split payments.
Live stock levels with batch and expiry tracking, reorder points and supplier lead times for food, medication, toys and aquarium supplies.
Sales, purchases, expenses and bank activity in one ledger, with profit by product group so you can see what pet food really earns you.
VAT recorded on every sale and purchase line, with reports that line up with the VAT return (NBR) and a clear audit trail behind each figure.
Receipt and invoice scanning, automatic categorisation and plain-English alerts on slow stock, margin drops and unusual spending.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
