MatruOS for a fish auctioneer
Set up the way a fish auctioneer runs: commission of 5-10% on auction value from boats or consignors; interest-like returns on season advances through tied sales; some own trading on the side. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a fish auctioneer deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Slips written by hand at speed get lost or misread. Season advances to boats not recovered.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 5 licences for a fish auctioneer, 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.
- Boat or farm
- auctioneer or commission agent
- trader, exporter, vendor or fishmeal plant
Your suppliers
- Boat owners (catch)
- Farm consignors (trucks)
Credit and cash
Season advances to boats repaid from catch; buyers pay same day (vendors) to 7-15 days (traders and exporters' agents); boat statements weekly or per trip
Large money goes out before the season as advances. Daily auction cash and credit come in. Boat statements are paid net of deductions. The ban period is for recoveries.
