What POS Software does for a parking facility
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a parking facility, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Parking facilities track available spaces, occupied spaces, contract customers and daily payments. Parking facility margins are strong on recurring contracts and high occupancy.
Customers expect secure parking, transparent pricing and theft liability clarity. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Parking Facilities run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a parking facility makes money. These are the ones that matter:
- 1
The daily reality
Space allocation and tracking. POS Software built for a parking facility 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
Payment collection and reconciliation. POS Software built for a parking facility 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
Security and theft prevention. POS Software built for a parking facility 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
Customer identification and billing. POS Software built for a parking facility turns that into a number you can act on, and you also file a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale automatically.

| Knowing your numbers | A monthly guess | Live margin and takings on your phone |
