What this solves
What a goli soda and local cold drink maker deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Bottles and crates go missing at shops and on routes, and new Codd bottles are scarce and costly. Route cash does not match crates; drivers settle late or short.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 8 licences for a goli soda and local cold drink maker, 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.

- Sugar wholesaler
- Flavour essence and colour dealer
- Codd bottle and marble supplier

Credit and cash
Shops pay cash on the route or weekly; a new shop pays a bottle and crate deposit (about Rs 15-20 a bottle, Rs 150-250 a crate); bars and caterers pay weekly or monthly; CO2 refills and sugar mostly cash or 7 days
Daily route cash comes in each evening. Sugar and CO2 are bought weekly. A big outlay goes on new bottles and crates in Feb-Mar before summer. Deposits held from shops are a liability that must be returned when a shop stops.
