What eTIMS Billing Software does for a property developer
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a property developer, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A developer tracks land/projects, units under construction, pre-sales agreements and buyer payment schedules. Development margins are strong but capital tied up in projects is significant.
Buyers need clear payment schedules, unit agreements and compliant invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.

What buyers expect
