What this solves

What an FMCG super stockist deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Scheme and price-drop claims run 3-9 months behind and part is never recovered. Month-end loading leaves distributors overstocked and overdue.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 8 licences for an FMCG super stockist, 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

Your customers

  • Large wholesalers

Your suppliers

  • FMCG companies through their C&F agent or depot

Credit and cash

Pays the company in advance or within 7-14 days against a credit limit, security deposit or bank guarantee; gives distributors 7-21 days; company credit notes for schemes come 2-6 months late

Money goes out at primary order and comes back 2-3 weeks later from distributors. Scheme and claim money (0.5-1.5% of turnover) waits months. A Rs 20 crore SS runs a Rs 1-2 crore bank CC limit and pays interest on every overdue day.
