What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a mobile phone reseller
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a mobile phone reseller, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A phone seller must track each unit by IMEI, and refurbished stock by condition. Phone margins are thin on new units but stronger on refurbished and accessories.
Phone sellers need eTIMS invoices especially for bulk and corporate buyers. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
