What this solves
What a makhana popping and grading business deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Popping yield and popper wages not measured, so a bad popper or wrong heat costs money unseen. Outside traders set the price and the unit sells blind.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 6 licences for a makhana popping and grading business, 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

Cash goes out from August to November to buy gurri for the year. Popping runs September to March. Lawa is sold through the year, with price rises before Navratri and Diwali.
