What eTIMS Billing Software does for a delivery service
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a delivery service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A delivery service tracks active shipments by location, status and delivery date. Delivery margins come from per-shipment fees and distance charges minus fuel and driver costs.
Senders and recipients need compliant receipts and tracking information for valuable shipments. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
