What POS Software does for a architecture firm
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a architecture firm, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An architecture firm tracks projects, design revisions, building inspections and consultant billing. Architecture margins are strong on design fees and project supervision.
Clients and authorities expect detailed design documents, compliance certificates and cost tracking. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Architecture Firms run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a architecture firm makes money. These are the ones that matter:
- 1
The daily reality
Project management and timelines. POS Software built for a architecture firm turns that into a number you can act on, and you also sell in seconds on a phone, tablet or the free Veira terminal.
- 2
Where the margin leaks
Design revision tracking. POS Software built for a architecture firm turns that into a number you can act on, and you also take Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi la Biashara payments at the till.
- 3
What slows the counter
Consultant fees and project billing. POS Software built for a architecture firm turns that into a number you can act on, and you also keep selling offline and sync the moment the network returns.

What buyers expect
Building code compliance. POS Software built for a architecture firm turns that into a number you can act on, and you also file a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale automatically.

| M-Pesa at the counter | Checked on a separate phone | Matched to each sale automatically |
| eTIMS invoices | Typed in later, if at all | Filed on every sale, even offline |
| Knowing your numbers | A monthly guess | Live margin and takings on your phone |
