Frequently asked questions ## What eTIMS Billing Software does for a dental practice eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a dental practice, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest. A dental practice stocks high value materials like crowns and implants that are slow moving but critical, plus consumables like gloves and anesthetic. Dental margins are strong on procedural work and materials, but overhead in rent and equipment is high. Patients paying out-of-pocket and insurance companies both expect detailed compliant invoices per procedure. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job. ## Dental Practices run differently, and the software should too A generic till misses the details that decide whether a dental practice makes money.

Trade clusters around The Hub Karen, Galleria Mall and the Karen shopping centre strip, and weekends and school-holiday periods bring the steadiest trade. For a dental practice here, that rhythm decides when the counter is busiest and where the pressure falls. Network coverage is generally reliable, though the low-density layout means outlets are more spread out than in the CBD. Patient appointment slots to manage is hard enough without losing sales to a dropped line, so Veira keeps selling offline and syncs every sale and eTIMS invoice the moment the Karen network returns. Card and M-Pesa both see heavy use, with a higher average transaction value than denser retail areas. Veira matches each payment to its sale, so a dental practice in Nairobi County closes the day without chasing money, and goes live the same day on a phone, tablet or the Veira terminal. ## What to look for in eTIMS Billing Software for a dental practice - eTIMS filing built in, not a separate fee.
