MatruOS for a peeling unit
Set up the way a peeling unit runs: sale of dried core veneer (patta) to plywood and blockboard presses, by the cbm or by weight; sale of residual cores (gola), clippings and bark as fuel. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a peeling unit deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Recovery per quintal is never measured, so bad lots and bad arhtiyas cost money unseen. Log rates jump in a week and core rates lag.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 8 licences for a peeling unit, 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.
- Farmer
- arhtiya (lakkar mandi)
- peeling unit
- plywood press
- ply dealer
Your suppliers
- Arhtiyas in the lakkar mandi (poplar, eucalyptus logs)
- Farmers and tree contractors
- Blade and lathe spares shops
- Labour thekedar (migrant workers)
Credit and cash
Logs paid to the arhtiya within 7-15 days; presses pay cash or on 7-30 days, longer when wood is plentiful; workers paid weekly
Cash goes out every morning on logs and comes back 1-4 weeks later from presses. Working capital is mostly the owner's own money plus a small CC limit. A long monsoon spell locks money in wet stock.
