What POS Software does for a carpet cleaning service
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a carpet cleaning service, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A carpet cleaning service tracks customer schedules, equipment maintenance, chemical inventory and staff assignments. Carpet cleaning margins are moderate but equipment and chemical costs are significant.
Commercial clients expect certified results and health/safety documentation. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
