Toy & Baby Shops · Kenya
Toy and baby shops carry hundreds of small, seasonal, easy-to-lose items — nappies and formula that move every day, prams and cots that sit for months, and shelves of toys split by age group. Tallium AI puts the till, the stock count, the supplier bills and the VAT-ready books in one app, so you can serve a queue of parents quickly and still know exactly what sold and what is running low. Unlimited staff accounts are included, so every till and every shift is covered without paying per person.

Key takeaways
Nappy sizes 1 through 6, three formula stages, the same puzzle in four age bands — a toy and baby shop can hold more product variations than a supermarket aisle. Counting by eye on a Sunday evening never matches the shelf, and the item you thought you had is the one the customer wanted.
Parents buy nappies, wipes and formula on a schedule and will walk to the next shop if you are out. Without live stock counts, you only discover the gap when someone asks — and by then you have lost both the sale and the trust that brings them back monthly.
December, back-to-school and birthday season pull very different products off the shelf. Over-ordering the wrong lines leaves money sitting in boxes for six months, and slow-moving prams or ride-ons are the most expensive things in the shop to guess wrong on.
Between M-Pesa till payments, cash, card and supplier invoices from several distributors, the paperwork builds up faster than anyone wants to file it. When it is time to prepare a VAT3 return on iTax, you are rebuilding months of sales from memory and a shoebox of paper.
Set up each toy or baby product once with its variations, and Tallium AI tracks each one separately at the till. Scan the barcode or search by name, and the count on the shelf, the count in the system and the price the customer pays all stay in step through the day.
Set a reorder point for nappies, wipes, formula and any other repeat purchase, and the app flags them before the shelf goes bare. Purchase orders go out from the same screen, so restocking your distributors takes minutes rather than an evening of guesswork.
See which categories, brands and age groups earn their shelf space week by week, and which stock has not moved since the last school holiday. That makes December and back-to-school ordering a decision based on your own numbers, not last year's hunch.
Every sale posts straight to your accounts, and photographing a supplier invoice lets the AI read and file it for you. VAT is tracked on sales and purchases as you go, so the figures for your VAT3 return on iTax are ready when you need them — always confirm current rules with KRA or a local tax professional.
