What this solves
What a Kolhapuri chappal workshop deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Machine-made fakes sold as Kolhapuri pull prices down; buyers cannot tell real pairs. Shops pay 15-60 days late and dues sit in memory.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 3 licences for a Kolhapuri chappal 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.

Credit and cash
Shops pay cash for small lots or 15-60 days; brands pay 30-60 days after QC with 20-30% advance; leather bought cash or on 15 days from known tanners
Leather is the main cash outlay (Rs 3,000-8,000 a week); shop money comes in 2-8 weeks; brand advances help; the monsoon slows both making and sales
