MatruOS for a malt house
Set up the way a malt house runs: brewing malt sold to breweries on annual contracts; malt extract and powder to malted food drink, bakery and confectionery makers; diastatic malt flour; rootlets as cattle feed. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a malt house deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
A year's barley is bought in one quarter and stock cover by quality is not visible. Malt yield and fuel per tonne vary by batch and nobody sees it the same day.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 12 licences for a malt house, 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.
- Barley farmer
- malt house
- brewery or food maker
- consumer
Your suppliers
- Contract barley farmers
- Barley traders and APMC commission agents
- Seed suppliers
- Fuel suppliers (coal
- Husk
- PNG)
- Fumigation agencies
- Bag makers
Credit and cash
Farmers and traders paid cash to 7 days at harvest; breweries pay 30-60 days; food makers 30-45 days; fuel 15-30 days
The year's barley is bought in Apr-Jun, so most working capital goes out in one quarter and comes back through the year; brewery contracts fix volumes and price bands for the year
