What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a nail salon
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a nail salon, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.

Nail salons need compliant receipts and transparent payment to technicians. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
