MatruOS for a sawmill and timber depot
Set up the way a sawmill and timber depot runs: sale of sawn timber (planks, battens, beams, door frame sections, shuttering) per cft by species; job sawing charge per cft on customers' logs; sawdust and offcut sales. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a sawmill and timber depot deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Recovery (sawn cft per log cft) never measured; poor logs bought at good rates. Carpenter udhaar written in a diary and collected slowly.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 7 licences for a sawmill and timber depot, 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.
- farm, forest or import
- arhtiya or log yard
- sawmill
- carpenter or builder
- furniture, doors, shuttering
Your suppliers
- Lakkar mandi arhtiyas
- Tree contractors and farmers
- Imported timber yards
- Forest depot auctions
- Blade sharpeners and saw suppliers
Credit and cash
Logs cash or 7-15 days through the arhtiya; imported timber 15-45 days; carpenters and builders 15-60 days udhaar; job sawing cash
Logs are bought cash weekly, while carpenters pay when their customer pays them; udhaar to 20-80 carpenters is the working capital trap.
