Accounting, POS and stock control for UAE pharmacies

Medicines have batch numbers and expiry dates, and it is easy to lose track across a busy shelf. When stock expires unnoticed, it becomes a straight loss you only discover during a count.

A pharmacy basket can mix standard-rated items, zero-rated medicines and exempt lines. Getting the VAT treatment right on every receipt — and reconciling it at return time — takes real care.

Peak hours bring queues, insurance questions and quick refunds. A slow till or one that fights your stock file costs you sales and frustrates regular customers.

When sales, purchases and supplier bills are keyed into a separate accounting file after the fact, your numbers are always days old and errors creep in between systems.

Tallium records batch and expiry details as stock comes in and flags items approaching their date, so you can sell down or return early. Every count reconciles against live figures instead of guesswork.

Set the correct VAT treatment per product once and Tallium applies it on every sale, then rolls the totals into reports you can use when preparing your VAT return (VAT201). Always confirm current rules with the FTA or a local tax professional.

The POS is built for speed: scan, take payment and issue a compliant tax invoice in seconds, with each sale drawing stock down in real time. Refunds and exchanges are handled cleanly and stay tied to your books.

Because POS, purchases and accounting share the same data, your profit, stock value and VAT position update as you trade. No re-keying, no month-end surprises from a disconnected spreadsheet.
