MatruOS for a brick kiln
Set up the way a brick kiln runs: sale of fired clay bricks per 1,000 by grade (awwal, doyam, pila, khanger) and of brick bats (rora). Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a brick kiln deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Peshgi and kharchi tracked in the munshi's notebook; season-end settlement disputes and families leaving with advances. Daily pathai counts argued over and rewritten.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 7 licences for a brick kiln, 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.
- clay land and coal
- bhatta
- contractor or broker
- house builder
Your suppliers
- Clay land owners (lease per bigha or per lakh bricks)
- Coal and agro-residue suppliers
- Fly ash from power plants (within 300 km)
- Jamadars (migrant pathera families)
- Local loading and firing gangs
- Tractor owners
Credit and cash
Sales mostly cash or advance, short credit of 15-30 days to known contractors; peshgi paid to families in Jul-Oct and recovered at season settlement; coal bought with advance before the season
Biggest outlay is before the first brick is sold: peshgi (₹15,000-50,000 a family), coal stock, clay lease and kiln repair, financed from owner capital, moneylenders and some CC limits. Sales cash comes Jan-Jun; settlement with families in May-June empties the till.
