What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a pet shop
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a pet shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A pet shop carries perishable food and live animals, so freshness and animal welfare tracking matters. Pet shop margins are moderate but spoilage and animal care costs reduce profit.
Veterinary product sales require compliant invoices and health documentation. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
