MatruOS for a roofing tile and clay products business
Set up the way a roofing tile and clay products business runs: sale of Mangalore-pattern roof tiles, ridge tiles, ceiling tiles and small floor tiles per piece or per 1,000; some resort and heritage restoration orders at better rates. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a roofing tile and clay products business deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Firing loss and fuel per firing are not measured, so a bad firing or a bad fuel lot is never seen. Pressed and rack counts are kept on loose slips, so piece-rate pay and stock never match.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 11 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 9 licences for a roofing tile and clay products business, 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.

Credit and cash
Households and temples pay advance and balance at loading; building material shops and contractors get 15-45 days; clay and firewood are paid in cash or weekly
Clay is bought and stacked in the dry months (Jan-May) for the year; firewood is bought every week; stock of fired tiles is built in Oct-Feb and cleared in the Mar-May pre-monsoon rush; Jun-Sep is the cash-tight season
