MatruOS for a dyeing and processing house

Set up the way a dyeing and processing house runs: job charge per metre for dyeing, printing and finishing the trader's grey fabric; a few houses also process their own fabric for sale. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves

What a dyeing and processing house deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Re-processing for shade mismatch costs 3-6% of output. Shrinkage and shortage claims from traders cut bills with no proof.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 11 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 10 licences for a dyeing and processing house, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.

03What 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.
