What this solves
What a Patola weaving workshop deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Long queues of bookings and advances are tracked in a diary and customers keep calling for status. Silk price moves during a six-month job and the booking price no longer covers cost.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 5 licences for a Patola weaving 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.
