What this solves

What an inter-state iced fish trader deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Spoilage and weight loss in transit eat the margin. Aratdars remit late and sale sheets are vague.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 4 licences for an inter-state iced fish trader, 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.

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.

  1. Farm or landing centre
  2. inter-state trader
  3. destination aratdar
  4. wholesaler and retailer

Your customers

  • Destination aratdars and wholesalers (Howrah
  • Siliguri
  • Guwahati
  • Patna
  • Delhi)
  • Retailers and hotels
  • Processors

Your suppliers

  • Fish farmers
  • Landing-centre agents
  • Harvest contractors
  • Ice plants
  • Crate and box suppliers
  • Truck owners

Credit and cash

Pays farmers at harvest or within 7-15 days; aratdars remit in 7-15 days after sale, less 3-5% commission; ice and trucks paid weekly

Each truck locks up ₹10-25 lakh for 2-3 weeks until the aratdar remits; farmers expect quick payment, so the gap is funded by own capital or the aratdar's advance.
