What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a hair salon
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a hair salon, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A salon sells time and products, so tracking product use, stylist time and customer preferences matters. Salon margins are strong but untracked product use and informal discounts erode them.
Salons need compliant receipts and proper employee payment records. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
