What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a plumbing service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a plumbing service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A plumbing service tracks job schedules, dispatch, spare parts inventory and service calls. Plumbing margins are strong on labor and emergency call-outs.
