What wholesale software does and why it matters
Wholesale and distribution software manages the B2B trade: issuing bulk invoices to business customers, running credit accounts with limits and terms, managing reps and delivery routes, controlling stock that moves in volume, and ensuring every invoice is eTIMS-compliant for the businesses you supply.
For Kenyan wholesalers the pains are credit that is hard to track and collect, stock that moves too fast to manage on paper, and large invoices that must be compliant for corporate buyers. Software fixes each: credit is tracked and chased, stock is controlled in real time, and every invoice transmits to KRA.
Cash flow defines wholesale. Software that tracks who owes what and reconciles payments tells you your real position and frees the working capital to buy the next bulk consignment.

Every B2B invoice is KRA-compliant automatically, which the businesses you supply require.

eTIMS, M-Pesa and pricing with Veira
How Veira handles eTIMS
Veira is KRA eTIMS certified and listed on kra.go.ke. Every sale issues a compliant invoice automatically, online or offline, with item codes and tax types managed, so your VAT reconciles with no manual matching.
How Veira handles M-Pesa
Veira accepts M-Pesa Till, Paybill, Pochi la Biashara and card, and reconciles each payment to the transaction, so your records always balance and there is no end-of-day guesswork.
Pricing
Veira is KES 2,999/month (eTIMS), KES 5,999/month (Growth) and KES 9,999/month (Pro), often with a free terminal. For most Kenyan businesses the system pays for itself within a month or two through sealed leaks, saved time and avoided penalties.
Mistake: buying disconnected tools
Separate systems that do not talk to each other leak half the benefit and never reconcile. One connected platform that covers selling, payments, eTIMS and reporting is what actually delivers the gains.
Mistake: choosing on price or brand alone
The cheapest or best-known tool that lacks KRA eTIMS certification, M-Pesa reconciliation or offline mode leaves real gaps. Weigh the fee against what the system prevents and reveals, and always confirm eTIMS certification.
A Kenyan business gets the result that matters
A wholesaler in Nairobi supplied dozens of shops on credit, tracked in a notebook. Some accounts were never collected, stock moved too fast to manage on paper, and large invoices were not always compliant for corporate buyers.
On wholesale software, every customer had a credit account with limits, stock was controlled in real time, and each invoice issued a compliant eTIMS document.
Credit became visible and collectable, stock-outs of key lines stopped, and corporate buyers accepted the compliant invoices. Cash flow improved enough to fund the next bulk consignment on time.
Trading without eTIMS-compliant tax invoices risks KRA penalties, blocked VAT input claims for your customers, and receipts a business buyer cannot expense.
Veira signs every sale to KRA eTIMS automatically, so each receipt is compliant the moment it prints, with no separate device to reconcile.
Why Veira is built for Kenyan businesses

For the owner that means automatic compliance, fewer leaks, and the numbers that matter answered from a phone, from KES 2,999 a month with a free terminal. Whether you run one location or many, the same system scales with you.
