What eTIMS Billing Software does for a tyre shop

eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a tyre shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.

A tyre shop holds many sizes and brands, so tracking stock by size and brand beats a rough count. Margins vary by brand and on services like fitting and alignment, so the mix decides profit.

Fleet and corporate buyers need compliant eTIMS invoices for every purchase. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
