What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a bicycle shop
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a bicycle shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A bicycle shop mixes expensive whole bikes with hundreds of spare parts, so variant tracking matters. Margins are strong on repairs but thin on commodity parts, so the service mix decides profit.
Transport companies buying bikes in bulk expect compliant invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
