What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a carpentry service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a carpentry service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A carpentry service tracks active jobs, wood inventory, worker schedules and materials. Carpentry margins are strong but material costs and rework reduce profit.
