What this solves

What a feni and mahua heritage distillery deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Bonded stock register and excise passes are kept by hand and mismatches bring penalties. Litres and strength per batch are not tracked, so yield per tonne of apples is unknown.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 8 licences for a feni and mahua heritage distillery, 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. grove or forest produce
  2. distiller (bhatti)
  3. bonded store
  4. bottler or retailer under excise passes
  5. consumer

Your customers

  • Licensed bottlers and wholesalers
  • Bars and taverns
  • State excise depot or corporation (in some states)
  • Tourists and tasting visitors
  • Liquor retailers

Your suppliers

  • Cashew grove owners and apple collectors
  • Toddy tappers (coconut feni)
  • Mahua flower collectors
  • Rice farmers
  • Copper pot makers
  • Bottle and label makers

Credit and cash

Cashew apples paid weekly in season; bulk feni sold for cash or 15-30 days to bottlers; excise duty paid in advance before removal; retail through licensed channels on 30 days

Everything is made in 3-4 months and sold over the year; excise duty and fees are paid before the liquor moves, so cash is tight in the season
