What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a laundry
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a laundry, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A laundry sells a service with small consumables, so the priority is tracking each order and its turnaround, not big stock counts. Margins are healthy per load, but rework, lost items and water and power costs cut into them.
Hotels and offices on contract laundry need compliant eTIMS invoices each cycle. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
