POS and inventory software built for Ghana's textile and fabric shops

Most tills only understand whole units, so a 3½-yard cut gets rung up as "4" or typed in as a manual amount. Over a month at a busy shop in Makola, Kejetia or Kumasi Central, those rounding habits quietly eat your margin and make your stock figures fiction. You end up trusting the tape measure and distrusting the system.

Wax prints, lace, kente strips, brocade and linings all come in variants that look almost identical on a shelf but sell at very different speeds. Without variant-level tracking you reorder the slow blue again and run dry on the fast green, then a customer who wanted six yards to match an existing dress walks out because you can only find four.

One customer pays MTN MoMo, the next pays cash, a wholesale buyer pays part now and part after the funeral. When the day's takings live in a notebook and three phones, reconciling at night is guesswork, and it becomes almost impossible to prove where a shortfall came from.

If your shop is registered with the GRA, the VAT and Levies Return depends on clean sales and purchase records tied to your TIN — not a shoebox of receipts reconstructed the week it is due. Fabric shops buying from importers and selling a mix of retail and wholesale feel this hardest, because the paperwork is scattered across suppliers, months and payment methods.

Tallium AI's POS sells fabric in decimal quantities, so 3.5 yards is 3.5 yards — priced correctly and deducted correctly. Set a price per yard or per metre, apply a wholesale rate for bulk buyers, and let the till do the arithmetic while your assistant keeps cutting. Receipts show the exact length sold, which ends most counter disputes before they start.

Every print becomes a product with variants for colourway and width, and every roll carries its remaining length. The moment a cut is rung up, the balance drops — so you can tell a customer over the phone whether six matching yards exist without walking the shop. Low-stock alerts fire per variant, so you reorder the fast-moving colours, not last season's.

Split payments, mobile money, cash and card are all recorded against the sale, and bank reconciliation matches your statement lines to takings so you close the day in minutes. Partial payments to wholesale customers sit on their account as an open balance, so you always know who still owes you and for how long.

Because the POS, the purchase records and the accounts are the same system, your tax position updates with every sale and every supplier invoice — no re-keying. Receipt scanning reads your supplier paperwork and files it automatically, and reports give you the sales and input figures you need when preparing your VAT and Levies Return for the GRA. Confirm current rules, rates and filing obligations with GRA or a local tax professional.
