What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a fuel station

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

A station reconciles pump litres against sales and tank dips daily, so any gap between fuel out and money in shows up fast. Fuel margins are thin and fixed, so the shop, lubricants and services are where extra profit is won.

Fleet and corporate customers need compliant eTIMS invoices for every fuel purchase. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.

Fuel Stations run differently, and the software should too
