For South African pharmacies
Tallium brings your dispensary and front-shop together in one system, so a fast till, live stock counts, and VAT-ready books all stay in sync. Ring up scripts and OTC lines at the counter, watch fridge and controlled stock without a spreadsheet, and keep your numbers ready for SARS. It's built for busy independent pharmacies that don't have time to reconcile three different tools every month.

Key takeaways
Most pharmacies run a till for OTC and cosmetics but manage prescription and Schedule stock in a separate book or spreadsheet. Nothing reconciles, and you never get one honest view of what a day actually sold or what's left on the shelf.
Slow-moving lines and fridge items quietly reach expiry and get written off. Without batch and expiry visibility, you only find out when a customer or an inspector points at the date on the box.
A pharmacy basket mixes standard-rated OTC and cosmetics with items that may be zero-rated, plus medical-aid and cash payments. Splitting that correctly for your VAT201 by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.
Running out of a fast-moving chronic line sends customers to the pharmacy down the road. Ordering by memory means you either overstock cash into shelves or miss the lines that pay the rent.
Every sale at the till — dispensary or front-shop — posts straight into your accounting in real time. You get a single daily total, a clean cash-up, and no more merging spreadsheets at month-end.
Track stock by batch with expiry dates so short-dated and fridge lines surface before they're a loss. Tallium flags what's about to expire so you can promote, return, or pull it in time.
Set the right VAT treatment per product once and Tallium applies it on every sale, keeping standard-rated and zero-rated lines apart automatically. Your VAT figures stay organised and ready when it's time to file your VAT201 with SARS.
Min-stock levels and sales history tell you what to reorder and how much, so chronic and fast movers stay on the shelf. Purchase orders flow into stock and accounts, so buying and books never drift apart.
A quick, barcode-driven till for OTC, cosmetics, and dispensary sales that works even when the line is out the door.
Live stock across every shelf and the fridge, with batch tracking and expiry alerts to cut write-offs.
Core books that update with every sale, expense, and purchase, so your financial picture is always current.
Per-product VAT rules that keep standard-rated and zero-rated lines correct and your VAT201 figures ready.
