What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a car wash service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a car wash service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Car wash services track customer appointments, staff assignments, chemical usage and equipment maintenance. Car wash margins are moderate but water/chemical costs and labor reduce profit.
