What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a preschool
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a preschool, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Preschools track student enrollment, teacher assignments, curriculum progress and parent communication. Preschool margins are moderate on per-child fees minus teacher salaries.
Parents expect quality early education and regular progress updates. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
