What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a primary school
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a primary school, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A school tracks student enrollment, fees collected, teacher payroll and supplies inventory. School margins come from tuition minus teacher salaries and facility costs.
Parents and government education authorities require clear fee invoices and student records. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
