MatruOS for an onion and garlic dehydration business
Set up the way an onion and garlic dehydration business runs: sale of dehydrated onion and garlic (flakes, kibbled, chopped, minced, granules, powder) to importers and domestic food makers; some job drying for other exporters. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What an onion and garlic dehydration business deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Fresh-to-dry ratio and fuel per kg swing by lot and dryer, and the owner sees it only at season end. Hundreds of farmer bills a day in season, with seed advances to net off by hand.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 10 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 16 licences for an onion and garlic dehydration 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
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.
- Seed to contract farmer
- dehydration plant
- importer or food maker
- seasoning, soup and snack products
Your suppliers
- Contract farmers (white onion)
- Mandi traders and farmers (garlic)
- Seed growers (white onion seed)
- Fuel suppliers (coal, lignite, groundnut shell, briquettes)
- Carton, liner and bag suppliers
- Seasonal labour contractors
Credit and cash
Farmers paid in 3-7 days in season, less seed advance; garlic bought cash in mandi; exports on LC or cash against documents 30-90 days; domestic buyers 30-60 days
Seed advances go out in Sep-Oct; 80% of the year's raw material is bought and paid for in Feb-May; stock is sold over 12 months, so the plant runs on packing credit and cash credit against stock
