What Mobile Money Agent Software does for a cargo handler
Mobile money agent software tracks money sent, received, exchanged and cashed at the agent point, with reconciliation to M-Pesa backend. For a cargo handler, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A cargo handler tracks multiple shipments in progress, each with origin, destination, weight and value. Cargo margins come from handling fees and storage charges per shipment.
Shippers and government authorities require compliant documentation for all cargo. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
