What POS Software does for a metal casting workshop
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a metal casting workshop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Metal casting workshops track casting batches, mold inventory, materials and quality control. Metal casting margins depend on batch efficiency and material costs.
Industrial customers expect quality castings and consistent specifications. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
