What this solves
What a soft-drink franchise bottler deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Coolers and RGB shells disappear in the market or get used for rival brands. Summer stock-outs of fast SKUs while slow SKUs fill the warehouse.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 15 licences for a soft-drink franchise bottler, 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.

Credit and cash
Distributors pay in advance (RTGS before loading) or 7 days against a bank guarantee; key accounts 30-45 days; concentrate paid in advance to the brand owner; sugar and PET on 15-30 days or LC; coolers given to shops against an agreement, not sold
Pre-summer build in Jan-Feb needs working capital for sugar, preforms and finished stock; cash comes back fast in summer through advance payments; cooler and shell investment is capital locked in the market
