What eTIMS Billing Software does for a wholesaler
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a wholesaler, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Wholesale moves stock in bulk and on credit, so the records that matter are quantities and who owes what. Wholesale margins are thin per unit and made on volume, so accurate price tiers decide profit.
Trade 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.
