Set up the way a marble inlay (pachchikari) workshop runs: inlay table tops, coasters, boxes, plates, trays, elephants and Taj replicas, chess boards, mandirs and wall or floor panels sold by piece or per sq ft to tourists, emporia, exporters, architects and online buyers. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.
What a marble inlay (pachchikari) workshop deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
01Today
Weekly piece wages for 4-20 karigars worked out by hand from scraps of paper; disputes over pieces and advances. Pieces given to emporia on sale-or-return are forgotten and guide commissions argued every month.
02In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 8 licences for a marble inlay (pachchikari) workshop, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
03What changes
