Pet shops & supplies — Oman
A pet shop in Muscat, Salalah or Sohar is really three businesses at once: a fast-moving retail counter, a perishable stock room full of feed and frozen food, and sometimes a grooming or aquarium service desk. Tallium AI puts all of it in one app — a quick POS for the counter, live stock counts by batch and expiry, and accounting that keeps your VAT records in order behind the scenes. One flat USD price per shop, unlimited users, no per-seat fees, no free trial.
From $79/month per shop · billed monthly · no free trial
Key takeaways
Dry food, wet pouches, frozen raw and medicated treats all carry expiry dates, and a 10kg bag that sits three months past its date is money you already paid for. Most shops only notice when a customer points at the label. Without batch and expiry tracking you cannot see what is ageing until it is written off.
Fish, birds and small pets are counted, fed and sometimes lost — they are not simple stock units like a collar or a bag of litter. Aquarium mortality, quarantine holds and grow-on stock all move quantities that never crossed the till. Spreadsheets never reconcile because the shop floor reality never matches the purchase invoice.
Friday evenings and weekend mornings bring a queue of customers buying food, litter and a grooming slot at once. Typing prices by hand, hunting for a barcode that will not scan, or stopping to write a manual invoice loses sales and patience. Staff turnover means a new hire has to learn the till from scratch every few months.
Sales sit in one book, supplier invoices from feed distributors and importers sit in a folder, and grooming or boarding income sits in a notebook. When the VAT return is due someone spends a weekend rebuilding it from receipts. Any mistake in input VAT on imported stock is only discovered much later.
Receive feed and frozen lines with batch numbers and expiry dates, and Tallium AI shows you what is closest to expiry before it becomes a loss. Set reorder points per line so the 15kg bags that sell every week are reordered automatically and the slow aquarium accessories are not. Stock counts update the moment the till rings, so what you see is what is on the shelf.
Record mortality, transfers between tanks or cages, and quarantine holds as proper stock adjustments with a reason attached, so your quantities and your cost of sales both stay honest. Because every adjustment is logged against a user, you can see who moved what and when. Grooming and boarding can be sold as service lines alongside physical stock on the same receipt.
The POS runs on a tablet or a counter PC with barcode scanning, quick-pick tiles for your top sellers, and split payment across cash and card. Add a second till or a weekend helper at no extra cost — every plan includes unlimited users with no per-seat fees. Roles and permissions keep discounts and refunds in the hands of people you trust.
Every sale, refund and supplier bill posts straight to your accounts, and AI receipt scanning turns a photo of a distributor invoice into a coded expense with the tax split captured. Reports show margin by category — feed versus accessories versus grooming — so you know which part of the shop actually pays the rent. Your VAT figures are ready to review rather than rebuilt from scratch.
Fast barcode-driven checkout for feed, accessories and grooming services, with split payments, held tickets and offline resilience when the connection drops.
Batch and expiry tracking for feed and frozen lines, reorder points per SKU, and adjustment reasons that suit livestock mortality and transfers.
Sales, purchases and expenses post automatically from the till and from scanned supplier invoices, so your ledger is current without double entry.
Records output and input VAT on every transaction and keeps the underlying detail organised for your Oman VAT return and for Fawtara e-invoicing requirements.
Margin by category, dead stock, best sellers by week and staff-level sales, so you can act on what the shop is actually doing.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
