MatruOS for a labour contractor
Set up the way a labour contractor runs: cut per worker per day on man-day billing, or margin on piece-rate work (per sq ft plaster, per cft brickwork, per kg bar bending). Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a labour contractor deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Workers leave with peshgi unrecovered. Builders delay weekly payment while wages are due.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 7 licences for a labour contractor, 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.
- Village
- mukadam
- contractor or builder
- site
Your suppliers
- Workers from home villages (masons, helpers, bar benders, carpenters)
- Labour camp owners
- Travel agents and railway tickets
Credit and cash
Gives workers peshgi at recruitment and kharchi weekly; builders pay weekly or fortnightly, often late by 1-3 weeks
Peshgi is paid out months before it is recovered from hafta. Builder delays mean the mukadam pays wages from his own pocket or borrows.
