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 fuel station reconciles pump litres against sales and tank dips daily, so accuracy is critical. Fuel margins are thin but the shop and services provide higher margin revenue.
Fleet and corporate customers need compliant eTIMS invoices for fuel purchases. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
