MatruOS for a glaze and digital ink supplier
Set up the way a glaze and digital ink supplier runs: ready glaze and engobe by the tonne, stains and digital inks by the kilo, effect inks and grits; free technical service is part of the price. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a glaze and digital ink supplier deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Tile plants pay 90-120 days late and PDCs bounce in slow months. Zircon, stain and ink costs move with the rupee and freight but the price list does not.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 9 licences for a glaze and digital ink supplier, 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.
