What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a tuition centre
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a tuition centre, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A tuition centre tracks student enrolment, class attendance and payment status, not physical stock. Tuition margins come from fees minus teacher pay and facility costs, so utilisation and payment collection matter.
Parents and institutions paying tuition may need compliant eTIMS invoices for fee records. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
