What this solves
What a marble block trader and importer deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Landed cost per block is worked out roughly, so some blocks are sold below cost. Containers overrun free days at the port.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 5 licences for a marble block trader and importer, 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
Who you sell to, who you buy from, how credit moves and where you sit in the chain decide how your screens, reminders and reports are set up.
- Overseas or domestic quarry
- block trader (Kishangarh, Silvassa)
- gangsaw unit
- slab trader
- builder or showroom
Your suppliers
- Overseas quarries and block agents
- Domestic quarry owners
- Customs broker and freight forwarder
- Trailer transporters
- Crane hire
Credit and cash
Pays overseas by LC or advance; domestic quarries cash or advance; gives gangsaws 30-60 days
LC is paid 60-120 days before a block sells; blocks then sit in the yard and gangsaws pay 30-60 days later, so money turns two to three times a year
