MatruOS for a bijli bill collection and franchise
Set up the way a bijli bill collection and franchise runs: per-bill or per-reading fees for meter reading and spot billing; commission per bill or % of amount for collection; incentives on arrears recovered and disconnections; for input-based franchisees, the margin between collection and the input rate paid to the DISCOM. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

Your suppliers
- Handheld billing devices and printers
- App or wallet provider (bank)
- Field staff (readers, collectors, linemen)
- Meters and line material (franchisees)
Credit and cash
Collections deposited daily or through the prepaid wallet before receipts issue; commission credited next day (app models) or paid monthly on bills after verification, often 1-3 months late; franchisees pay the DISCOM the input bill monthly
Wallet or security deposit up front; cash comes in daily from consumers and goes to the DISCOM; the agency's own income is the delayed commission
