What eTIMS Billing Software does for a taxi operator
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a taxi operator, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A taxi operator tracks vehicle status, driver shifts, fuel per vehicle and cash collected by driver. Taxi margins come from fares minus fuel, maintenance and driver commissions.
Passengers and corporate clients need compliant receipts for rides. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
