POS, stock and accounting for Philippine grocery stores

Weekend crowds and long queues cost you sales when a checkout is slow or crashes. Cashiers hunting for prices or manually keying barcodes turns a two-minute trip into ten and sends shoppers to the store down the street.

Rice, canned goods and snacks sell in high volume, so a spreadsheet count is stale by lunchtime. You over-order slow movers, run out of the fast sellers, and only spot spoilage or theft when the shelf is already empty.

Sorting supplier invoices, sales and expenses for your quarterly VAT return (2550Q) eats whole evenings. When purchase receipts live in a drawer, reconciling input and output VAT before a BIR deadline becomes a scramble.

With hundreds of SKUs at different margins, it's hard to tell which lines actually make money. Guessing at markups and promos means you can be busy all month and still not know if you came out ahead.

Scan a barcode and the price, tax and stock update instantly. Tallium's POS handles weighed items, multi-pack pricing and split payments, keeps working during patchy internet, and gets a new cashier confident in a single shift.

Each sale and delivery adjusts inventory in real time, so counts stay honest across the floor and the stockroom. Set reorder points on staples like rice and cooking oil and get alerted before you run dry, not after.

Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts automatically, with VAT tracked as you go. Snap a photo of a supplier receipt and Tallium reads and files it, so the figures you need for a 2550Q are ready when the quarter closes.

Reports show gross margin by product, category and supplier, plus your best and worst sellers by day and hour. AI insights flag slow stock, unusual shrinkage and the promos worth repeating — in plain language, no accountant required.
