What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a secondary school
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a secondary school, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A secondary school tracks students, fees by type, boarding services and inventory across classrooms and hostels. School margins come from tuition and boarding fees minus salaries and food costs.
Parents and education authorities require detailed fee breakdowns and performance reports. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
