MatruOS for a timber arhtiya
Set up the way a timber arhtiya runs: commission on each load sold (2-3% of value, est.), labour and weighment charges, and interest or margin on advances to farmers and tree contractors; some own-account trading. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a timber arhtiya deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Buyer units pay late and some close; the arhtiya funds the gap. Farmer settlement worked out by hand with deductions; disputes.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 7 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 6 licences for a timber arhtiya, 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 tree
- tree contractor or farmer
- arhtiya (lakkar mandi)
- peeling unit, plywood press or sawmill
Your suppliers
- Poplar and eucalyptus farmers
- Tree contractors
- Forest corporation lots (some)
Credit and cash
Pays farmers same day or within 2-7 days; buyers pay in 7-30 days, some longer; advances to contractors recovered from their loads
The arhtiya carries 1-4 weeks of buyer credit on his own money or CC limit, plus advances to contractors; a unit that closes can wipe out a season's commission.
