02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 10 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 10 licences for a sauce, ketchup and vinegar 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.
