What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a cleaning service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a cleaning service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A cleaning service tracks staff, schedules and clients, with consumable costs per contract. Cleaning margins come from contract fees minus staff wages and material costs.
Corporate cleaning contracts may require compliant eTIMS invoices for services. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
