Textile & fabric retail — Saudi Arabia
Fabric retail is a business of half-metres, dye lots and long counters — and most software was never built for it. Tallium AI gives your shop a fast counter POS that sells by the metre or the roll, live stock that updates as you cut, and accounting that keeps you ready for your VAT return with ZATCA. It is one app, one flat monthly price in USD, and unlimited users at no extra cost.

Key takeaways
A customer wants 3.5 metres of one design and 0.75 of a trim. Most tills only understand whole units, so your staff round up, key in manual prices, or write the sale on paper. By the end of the day the till total and the actual cut fabric no longer agree, and nobody can say where the gap came from.
Stock lives in your head and in the shelves. Two rolls of the same design arrive in different dye lots, offcuts pile up under the counter, and remnants get sold cheap without being recorded. When a tailor asks for eight more metres of a design you sold last month, checking means physically walking the racks.
Every counter sale now needs a compliant electronic invoice, and business customers — tailors, abaya makers, upholstery workshops — want a tax invoice with their VAT number on it. If your POS cannot produce that at the counter, someone re-types the sale into a separate invoicing tool later, twice the work and twice the chance of an error.
Counter sales, wholesale cuts to tailoring shops, supplier bills from importers and local mills, expenses on delivery and staff — all sitting in different places. Pulling it together for the VAT return with ZATCA is a rushed, stressful job that usually falls on the owner, and mistakes are expensive.
Sell 3.5 metres, 0.75 metres or a full roll — the POS takes decimal quantities and prices them off your per-metre rate automatically. Barcode or search the design, cut, ring it up, and the sale is priced correctly the first time with no manual overrides and no paper slips to reconcile at closing.
Every metre sold comes off the roll in inventory the moment the sale is completed, so what you see on screen matches what is on the rack. Track designs by colour, width and dye lot, record remnants as their own sellable items, and set low-stock alerts so your best-selling designs are reordered before a tailor walks out empty-handed.
Generate a tax invoice with your details, the buyer's VAT number where needed, the VAT breakdown and the required QR code, straight from the POS — supporting your FATOORAH e-invoicing obligations without a second system or a re-typing step. Business customers get what they need before they leave the shop. Confirm current rules with ZATCA or a local tax professional.
Sales post to your accounts as they happen, supplier bills and expenses are captured by AI receipt scanning and categorised for you, and VAT is tracked on every transaction. When the filing period ends, your figures for the VAT return are already assembled instead of being reconstructed from scratch.
Fast counter selling with decimal quantities for metres and yards, barcode lookup, held sales for customers still choosing, split payments and compliant tax invoices printed on the spot.
