What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a textile supplier
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a textile supplier, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A textile supplier holds many colours and types, so stock tracking by colour and width matters for reorder. Textile margins come from the wholesale markup, with risk from price swings and slow moving colours.
Textile suppliers need compliant eTIMS invoices for all trade purchases and retail sales. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
