POS software for pet shops in Singapore

Wet food, raw diets, treats and medicated shampoos all carry expiry dates, and a carton pushed to the back of the shelf becomes a write-off nobody notices until stocktake. Most pet shops track this on a clipboard, which means the loss shows up in the P&L months after it could have been discounted and sold.

One customer buys a 15kg bag of food, the next collects a groomed dog and pays for a package, the third puts a deposit on an aquarium setup. Trying to ring all of that through a basic cash register means handwritten notes, missed deposits and a queue building on a Saturday afternoon.

The same brand may come in four sizes and six flavours, and the difference between them is a few characters on the packaging. Without barcodes and real stock counts, staff sell what they think is on the shelf, promise stock they do not have, and reorder blind from three or four different distributors.

If your sales sit in a POS, your supplier bills sit in a folder and your grooming income sits in a notebook, preparing a GST F5 return means rebuilding the quarter from scratch. Once you are near the S$1,000,000 taxable turnover registration threshold, that guesswork stops being acceptable.

Record expiry dates against incoming stock and Tallium AI flags what is approaching its date while you can still run a clearance shelf or a bundle. You see the value at risk by brand, so you can push the slow lines and stop reordering them at the same volume.

Sell a bag of food, a grooming package and take a deposit on a special order in a single transaction, with change, card, PayNow or QR recorded against the same receipt. Every sale posts straight into your accounts, so takings, refunds and deposits are already reconciled by the time you cash up.

Scan at goods-in and at the counter and each variant carries its own count, cost and reorder point. Low-stock alerts tell you exactly which SKU to reorder from which supplier, and purchase orders go out from the same app without retyping anything.

Sales, supplier bills and expenses all carry their GST treatment as they are entered, so your GST-inclusive and zero-rated lines are separated automatically and your return figures come from source records rather than a spreadsheet. Tallium AI also supports structured e-invoicing workflows as Singapore businesses move onto InvoiceNow (Peppol). Confirm current rules with IRAS or a local tax professional before you file.
