What this solves
What a kumhar pottery household deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Breakage of 10-25% in drying and firing wipes out profit. Diwali wholesalers bargain hard and pay the balance late.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 3 licences for a kumhar pottery household, 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.

- customer
Your suppliers
- Clay from ponds and riverbeds
- Fuel (wood, dung cakes, sawdust, husk)
- Colour and slip sellers
- KVIC and state schemes (electric wheel and pug mill)
Credit and cash
Haat and roadside sales in cash or UPI; tea stalls pay weekly; Diwali wholesalers pay 20-40% advance and the rest after delivery, often late; fuel bought in cash
Seasonal; Diwali and summer bring most of the year's cash; monsoon months run on savings or moneylender loans; advances fund fuel for festival firings
