MatruOS for a dry fish processor and trader
Set up the way a dry fish processor and trader runs: sale of dried and salted fish by species and grade to traders, markets and exporters; rejects to poultry feed and fishmeal units; some trading of others' dry fish. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a dry fish processor and trader deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
A sudden rain spoils lots on the drying ground. Fresh-to-dry yield is not known per lot, so poor species or workers are not seen.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 4 registers and 7 licences for a dry fish processor and trader, 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.

Credit and cash
Fresh fish bought in cash or by the day at auction; NE traders pay 15-30 days, often through a commission agent; local markets cash
Cash goes out every morning in season; stock builds Oct-May and is sold through the monsoon, so money is locked in bags for months
