What this solves
What a granite monument exporter deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Wrong size, colour or lettering on a drawing found only at the importer's yard. Nobody knows which pieces of a container are still at polishing or lettering.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 11 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 11 licences for a granite monument exporter, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What changes
The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.
Where you sit
MatruOS starts from how your business earns

Credit and cash
Importers usually pay 20-30% advance and the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or by LC at sight; long-standing buyers get 30-60 days after shipment (estimate); blocks bought on cash or 30 days
Blocks and diamond tools paid before production; 20-35 days of production; balance 2-6 weeks after sailing; IGST refund or LUT, RoDTEP and e-BRC follow; packing credit from the bank bridges the gap
