What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a water vendor
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a water vendor, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A water vendor tracks tank fill and delivery routes, with maintenance and usage losses. Water vendor margins come from the per-unit delivery fee minus transport, fuel and tank maintenance.
Institutional water supply contracts may require compliant eTIMS invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
