What eTIMS Billing Software does for a spare parts shop
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a spare parts shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A spare parts shop carries thousands of part numbers, so finding and counting the right part by code beats guessing. Margins differ between fast service parts and slow body parts, so the mix and pricing matter.
Garages and fleet buyers need a compliant eTIMS invoice with their PIN to claim input VAT. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
