What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a art supply shop
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a art supply shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An art supply shop carries many niche items with seasonal demand spikes. Art supply margins are moderate but dead stock from trends erodes profit.
