What this solves
What a plywood and veneer unit deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Dealer dues through agents run 60-120 days and some go bad. Wood cost rises before the price list does.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 11 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 11 licences for a plywood and veneer 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.

Credit and cash
Core cash or 7-30 days; chemicals 15-30 days; dealers 45-90 days through agents, often longer; agents earn 1-3% on collection
Raw material is paid within 30 days, dealers pay in 60-120. The gap sits on a CC limit and the owner's money. Agent commission is paid only after dealer collection.
