What eTIMS Billing Software does for a mobile phone reseller
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a mobile phone reseller, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A phone seller must track each unit by IMEI, and refurbished stock by condition. Phone margins are thin on new units but stronger on refurbished and accessories.
Phone sellers need eTIMS invoices especially for bulk and corporate buyers. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
