What this solves

What a textile testing lab deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Samples get lost in the queue and turnaround slips. Calibration and intermediate checks missed before NABL assessment.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 4 registers and 10 licences for a textile testing lab, 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.

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.

  • Government departments and tender bodies

Your suppliers

  • Instrument makers and service engineers
