What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a export trader
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a export trader, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An exporter buys from multiple sources and consolidates shipments, so source traceability and quality per lot matters. Export margins come from the spread between sourcing and sale price, with heavy costs in logistics and compliance.
Exporters need compliant eTIMS invoices for all purchases and sales to show the audit trail. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
