What this solves

What a papad, pickle and khakhra maker deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Two months of mango season decide the year; under-making loses sales and over-making ties up cash. Fungus and spoilage complaints from poor curing or monsoon, with no way to trace the batch.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 10 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 7 licences for a papad, pickle and khakhra maker, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.

03What 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

Raw mango and lemon bought cash at the mandi; oil and spices cash or 7 days; shops pay in 30 days or on sale-or-return; households pay advance or COD; marketplaces settle in 7-15 days

The mango season (Apr-Jun) needs the year's biggest outlay on mango, oil and jars in 6-8 weeks. It is funded by own savings, SHG or Mudra loans and household pre-booking advances. The cash comes back over 9-12 months as jars sell.
