MatruOS for a used oil re-refiner

Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves

What a used oil re-refiner deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Wet or mixed feed lowers yield and nobody links it to the supplier. Tanks run dry because collectors divert oil to illegal burners.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 11 licences for a used oil re-refiner, 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.
