MatruOS for an HT line and substation contractor
Set up the way an HT line and substation contractor runs: measured erection rates for lines, poles, transformer centres and substations on DISCOM work orders; lump-sum supply-and-erection for consumer HT connections; testing, liaison and charging fees; substation and line maintenance contracts. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What an HT line and substation contractor deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
DISCOM bills and retention sit for months and nobody tracks which division owes what. Material issued from DISCOM stores does not reconcile at the end and is recovered from the bill.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 7 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 11 licences for an HT line and substation contractor, 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.
- DISCOM or EPC or HT consumer
- Class A contractor
- gangs and sub-contract B-class firms; inspection by DISCOM engineer or Electrical Inspector
Your suppliers
- Conductor, pole, insulator and hardware makers
- Transformer manufacturers
- Cable, VCB and RMU distributors
- Crane and hydra hire
- DISCOM stores (material issued to contractor)
Credit and cash
DISCOM bills paid 60-180 days after the measurement book is checked, with 5-10% retention till the defect liability period ends; consumer jobs 30-40% advance, 40-50% on material at site, balance on charging; suppliers give 30-60 days to regular contractors
Material bought on supplier credit and earnest money and performance guarantees locked in banks; DISCOM payments slow, so working capital limit and BG limit decide how much work can be taken
