What Mobile Money Agent Software does for a courier service
Mobile money agent software tracks money sent, received, exchanged and cashed at the agent point, with reconciliation to M-Pesa backend. For a courier service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A courier service tracks package movements and vehicle usage, with delivery confirmation per package. Courier margins come from service fees minus vehicle and labour costs, so efficiency and utilisation matter.
Corporate couriers expect compliant eTIMS invoices for all shipments. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
