What this solves
What a petha maker deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Gourd yield and sugar use vary by batch and nobody knows cost per kg. Agents and outside shops pay late; ledgers on paper.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 10 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 7 licences for a petha maker, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What changes
