What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a antique dealer
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a antique dealer, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An antique dealer holds unique items, so detailed cataloging by item and valuation matters. Antique margins are high but negotiation and authentication time are costs.
High value sales require compliant invoices and proof of ownership. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
