What this solves
What a groundnut or cottonseed oil mill deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Oil and cake prices move daily; open saudas lose money. Residual oil left in cake above 8% is lost yield.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 11 licences for a groundnut or cottonseed oil mill, 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.

Credit and cash
Seed cash or 1-3 days; oil sold through brokers on 7-15 days or advance for tankers; cake cash to farmers or 7-15 days to feed mills and solvent plants
Seed stock is bought in the harvest months on a bank CC limit against stock. Oil and cake sell daily on sauda. The CC limit and open saudas decide how much the mill can carry. A 50-tonne-a-day mill turns over Rs 1-1.5 crore a week in season.
