Textile & fabric retail — Singapore
Fabric retail runs on cut lengths, remnants and rolls that never quite match a simple unit count — and a queue of customers waiting while you measure. Tallium AI gives your Singapore shop a fast counter POS that sells by the metre or the roll, keeps live stock per design and colourway, and files the numbers straight into GST-ready accounting. One app, unlimited users, one flat monthly price in USD.

Key takeaways
Most retail tills expect whole units. Your customer wants 3.4 metres of one design, 0.75 metres of a lining and a full roll of interfacing — and the price may differ per metre by grade. Staff end up doing mental maths at the counter, rounding in the customer's favour or yours, and the shop quietly loses margin on every cut.
A roll that started at 40 metres is now somewhere between 6 and 11, depending on who you ask. Remnants pile up in a corner with no record. You over-order a design that's still sitting in the back room and run out of the shade a tailor comes in for every week — usually finding out only when they walk out empty-handed.
Sales slips, supplier invoices from importers, freight charges and cash takings all live in different places. When the GST F5 return period closes, someone spends evenings keying figures into a spreadsheet and hoping the input tax on imported bolts was captured correctly. It is slow, and it is exactly where mistakes creep in.
Regulars order specific designs, ask you to hold lengths, and often settle later. Without a record of who ordered what and who still owes you, credit drifts, holds get sold to someone else, and you lose the chance to tell a returning customer that their usual poplin just landed.
Ring up 3.4 metres as easily as one item. Tallium AI's POS handles decimal quantities, per-metre and per-roll pricing on the same product, and mixed baskets of cut lengths, trims and accessories. Prices calculate on the spot, the receipt shows the length and rate clearly, and the queue keeps moving.
Every cut reduces the right roll the moment it is sold, so remaining metres are always on screen — at the counter, on your phone, or in the back room. Track variants by design, colourway and width, log remnants as sellable stock instead of clutter, and set reorder points so your best-moving shades get flagged before they run dry.
Sales, purchases and expenses post to the accounts as they happen, with GST tracked on both output and input side. Snap a photo of an importer's invoice or a freight bill and AI reads and categorises it. When the GST F5 return is due, your figures are already summarised rather than reconstructed. Confirm current rules and your filing obligations with IRAS or a local tax professional.
Save tailors, boutiques and repeat buyers with their purchase history, outstanding balances and the designs they favour. Raise an invoice for a bulk order, record part payments, and see at a glance who owes what. The Tallium AI suite's CRM and Marketing sit under the same account, so following up on a new arrival is a few taps, not a separate subscription.
Fast counter billing with decimal metre quantities, per-metre or per-roll pricing, mixed baskets, holds, returns and exchanges. Works on a till, tablet or phone.

GST tracked on sales and purchases with your GST registration number on invoices, and period summaries to support your GST F5 return.
