MatruOS for a Banarasi saree gaddi
Set up the way a Banarasi saree gaddi runs: margin between the price paid to girhastas and the price to showrooms and wholesalers; better margin on own designs ordered from girhastas and on kadhua and heavy pieces. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a Banarasi saree gaddi deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Tested zari or powerloom sarees are passed off as real zari or handloom at purchase. Showrooms keep sarees on SOR for months and return them faded.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 6 licences for a Banarasi saree gaddi, 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.

Credit and cash
Girhastas paid on 30-90 days dhara, often by post-dated cheque, with advances on orders; showrooms pay in 60-180 days or keep sarees on sale-or-return
The gaddi funds the gap between paying girhastas (30-90 days) and collecting from showrooms (60-180 days); family money and bank OD carry stock worth crores; returns after the season come back as unsold stock
