What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a tech repair shop
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a tech repair shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A repair shop holds customer devices and spare parts, so each device must be tracked with job status and parts used. Repair margins come from labour and parts markup, so accurate costing per job and parts inventory matter.
Corporate clients with multiple devices expect compliant eTIMS invoices for repair services. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
