What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a dairy processor
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a dairy processor, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A processor buys raw milk daily and produces finished goods, so sourcing, production and expiry tracking are critical. Dairy margins are thin on raw milk and thicker on processed products, so the product mix and waste matter.
Dairy traders need compliant eTIMS invoices for all supplier payments and product sales. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
