What Inventory Management Software does for a insurance broker

Inventory software tracks what you hold, what is selling and what to reorder, across one shop or many. For a insurance broker, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.

Insurance brokers track client policies, insurer relationships, commissions and claims. Insurance broker margins come from commissions on placed policies.

Clients and insurers expect transparent placement and fair claims handling. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.

Insurance Brokers run differently, and the software should too

A generic till misses the details that decide whether a insurance broker makes money. These are the ones that matter:

  1. 1

    The daily reality

    Client relationship and policy tracking. Inventory Management Software built for a insurance broker turns that into a number you can act on, and you also see live stock by item, by branch and by value.

  2. 2

    Where the margin leaks

    Commission tracking from multiple insurers. Inventory Management Software built for a insurance broker turns that into a number you can act on, and you also get a reorder alert before a fast mover runs out.

  3. 3

    What slows the counter

    Claims follow up and settlement. Inventory Management Software built for a insurance broker turns that into a number you can act on, and you also flag dead stock that is freezing your cash.

  4. 4

    What buyers expect

    Compliance and licensing. Inventory Management Software built for a insurance broker turns that into a number you can act on, and you also count and reconcile stock without closing the shop.

A real insurance broker example

A Nairobi insurance broker with 200 clients cannot track policy placements, commissions or claims.

Before
  • Client relationship and policy tracking.
  • Commission tracking from multiple insurers.

With Veira
  • See live stock by item, by branch and by value.
  • Get a reorder alert before a fast mover runs out.
  • Flag dead stock that is freezing your cash.
With Inventory Management Software from Veira, stock updates with every sale, reorder alerts fire before a fast mover runs out, and dead stock is flagged before it freezes cash, so they run the broker on real numbers instead of a guess.

No. Veira runs on a phone, tablet or the free Veira terminal, and the team helps you load your insurance policy placement and go live the same day, often in Kenya within hours.
Does it keep working offline?
Yes. Veira keeps selling when the network drops and syncs sales and eTIMS invoices once it returns, so an outage in Kenya never stops the queue at your counter.
Does it handle M-Pesa for a insurance broker?
Yes. Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi la Biashara are built in, and every payment is matched to its sale, so the till balances itself at close.
Is it KRA eTIMS compliant?
Yes. Veira files a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale. Clients and insurers expect transparent placement and fair claims handling.

The Veira terminal is free and you pay a simple monthly subscription, so there is no large machine to buy upfront. Book a demo for a quote based on your broker setup.
Can it run more than one insurance broker?
