What this solves

What a salt refinery and iodisation business deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

A failed iodine sample brings a notice and a distributor rejection, and nobody can show the batch record. Distributors in the east stretch payment past 45 days while freight is paid up front.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 12 licences for a salt refinery and iodisation business, 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.

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.

  • Potassium iodate makers registered with the Salt Commissioner
  • Laminate, pouch and HDPE bag makers
  • Anti-caking agent suppliers

Credit and cash

Crude salt cash to 15 days, with advances to pan owners before the season; distributors pay 15-45 days; PDS pays 60-120 days after delivery and testing; job packing billed monthly

Crude salt is stocked before the monsoon (May-June), so money is locked in heaps for 3-4 months; freight is paid up front; distributor and government dues run 1-4 months
