What this solves

What a control panel builder deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

BOQ costing from an SLD takes 1-2 days and price lists keep changing. Retention and final payments forgotten for months.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 7 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 10 licences for a control panel builder, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.

03What 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.
