What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a tailoring service
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a tailoring service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A tailoring service tracks customer orders, measurements, fittings, fabric inventory and turnaround times. Tailoring margins are strong but fabric waste and rework reduce profit.
Customers expect clear delivery dates and quality guarantees. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
