What this solves
What a dhokra and kansa workshop deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Metal prices swing and pieces are priced from memory. Emporia hold pieces on consignment and pay months later.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 3 licences for a dhokra and kansa workshop, 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.
- Metal scrap
- artisan family (wax, mould, cast, finish)
- emporium, designer or exporter
- buyer
Your suppliers
- Brass and copper scrap traders
- Tin traders
- Beeswax and dhuna resin sellers
- Charcoal sellers
- Riverbed clay (own)
Credit and cash
Metal bought in cash; emporia on consignment 30-90 days; designers 50% advance; fair and haat sales in cash or UPI
Metal is the big cash outlay (Rs 500-900 a kg for brass scrap; tin far costlier); consignment locks money; fair season (Nov-Mar) brings most cash
