What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a transport broker
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a transport broker, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Transport brokers track available loads, carrier assignments, commission calculations and settlements. Transport broker margins come from commission on matched loads.
