What this solves
What a handloom weaver or cooperative deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Master weavers and middlemen pay late and low and the weaver has no record of pieces given. Yarn subsidy, Mudra loans and other benefits missed for lack of paperwork.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 3 licences for a handloom weaver or cooperative, 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.
- yarn depot
- weaver household
- master weaver, co-op or direct buyer
- showroom or customer
Your suppliers
- NHDC yarn depots and local yarn shops
- Dye and zari sellers
- Master weaver (when on wages)
- Reed and heald makers
Credit and cash
Yarn bought for cash; paid on delivery by direct buyers; middlemen pay 15-60 days or by post-dated cheque; co-operatives pay on delivery or monthly
Hand to mouth: yarn bought for the next saree from the last saree's sale; advances from master weavers create dependence; Mudra and weaver credit cards are rarely used
