What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a courier service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a courier service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A courier tracks shipments by sender, recipient, weight, value and urgency level. Courier margins are strong on express and international services but thin on local delivery.
Corporate and international customers need detailed proof of delivery and compliant invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
