What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a boutique
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a boutique, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Fashion comes in styles, sizes and colours, so a boutique needs variant level tracking, not a single count. Boutique margins are strong on new lines, but clearance and dead stock pull the average down.
Boutiques selling to corporate or event clients may need compliant eTIMS receipts. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Boutiques run differently, and the software should too
