MatruOS for a ship-breaking yard

What this solves
What a ship-breaking yard deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Ship P&L is known only after months while steel prices move. Hundreds of small sales leak by weight or lot.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 12 licences for a ship-breaking yard, 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.
