What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a delivery service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a delivery service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A delivery service tracks active shipments by location, status and delivery date. Delivery margins come from per-shipment fees and distance charges minus fuel and driver costs.
Senders and recipients need compliant receipts and tracking information for valuable shipments. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
