What eTIMS Billing Software does for a phone shop
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a phone shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Phones are high value and serialised, so each handset should be tracked by IMEI, not counted in bulk. Handset margins are thin while accessories and repairs carry more, so the mix decides the result.
Higher ticket sales mean buyers often need an eTIMS invoice for their records. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Phone Shops run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a phone shop makes money. These are the ones that matter:

Where the margin leaks

What buyers expect
