What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a dental practice
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a dental practice, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A dental practice stocks high value materials like crowns and implants that are slow moving but critical, plus consumables like gloves and anesthetic. Dental margins are strong on procedural work and materials, but overhead in rent and equipment is high.
Patients paying out-of-pocket and insurance companies both expect detailed compliant invoices per procedure. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
