KRA eTIMS for Garages

Stay compliant without slowing down the shop floor

KRA eTIMS is no longer optional for most Kenyan businesses issuing fiscal invoices. Garages feel the pressure hardest during peak hours when counters are busy and paperwork stacks up. The right workflow issues compliant invoices from the same job card your technicians already use.

Where garages get stuck on eTIMS

  • Re-keying job totals into a separate fiscal system at month-end
  • Missing invoice links when insurers or corporate clients audit repairs
  • Staff skipping fiscal steps when the queue is long
  • No single history tying parts, labour, and tax lines to one job

How Garage OS handles eTIMS in practice

  • Issue fiscal receipts from the same invoice your customer already approved
  • Keep timestamped job evidence linked to every tax line
  • Reduce duplicate entry between workshop floor and accounts
  • Export audit-ready history for KRA reviews and insurer disputes
  • Train front desk once — technicians stay on job cards, not tax portals

FAQ

Does Garage OS support KRA eTIMS for workshops?
Garage OS is designed for Kenyan compliance workflows so fiscal invoicing stays connected to digital job cards, payments, and customer records.
Can we issue eTIMS invoices during busy hours?
Yes. Invoices are generated from completed job data so front desk staff do not maintain a parallel spreadsheet or portal workflow.
