What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a driving school

It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a driving school, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.

Driving schools track student enrollment, instructor assignments, vehicle schedules and test results. Driving school margins come from lesson fees and vehicle rental.

Students expect professional instruction and high pass rates on government tests. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
