What POS Software does for a water supply & purification
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a water supply & purification, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Water suppliers manage production capacity and distribution daily, so demand forecasting and delivery schedules are critical. Water margins are volume-driven with thin margins, so delivery efficiency and bulk discounting matter.
Water suppliers need public health certification, eTIMS invoicing, and water quality test records. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.

What slows the counter
