What eTIMS Billing Software does for a laboratory
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a laboratory, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A lab stocks reagents and consumables with critical expiry dates, plus patient samples that must be tracked by barcode and test type. Lab margins are strong per test, with revenue coming from volume and premium tests like pathology.
Labs need ISO compliance and clean audit trails for all tests, results and sample handling. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
