What eTIMS Billing Software does for a solar installation company
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a solar installation company, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Solar installers track installation projects, component inventory, maintenance schedules and customer contracts. Solar installation margins are strong on system sales and maintenance contracts.
Customers expect quality components and reliable systems with good warranties. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
