What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a optician
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a optician, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An optician holds many frame and lens variants, so variant level tracking beats a single count. Margins are strong on frames and lenses but vary by brand, so pricing and mix decide profit.
Insurers and corporate eye care schemes expect compliant eTIMS invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
