MatruOS for a bulk drug (API) unit

Set up the way a bulk drug (API) unit runs: APIs and pharma intermediates sold per kg to formulation plants, larger API makers and exporters; some contract (custom synthesis) campaigns for bigger firms. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves

What a bulk drug (API) unit deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

KSM prices from China swing 20-40% and quotes to customers are not revised in time. Stage yields and solvent recovery slip and nobody sees it until the month's accounts.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 14 licences for a bulk drug (API) unit, 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.

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.

  2. MSME API unit

  5. patient

Your customers

  • Formulation plants
  • Larger API companies buying intermediates
  • Merchant exporters
  • API traders

Your suppliers

  • KSM importers and traders
  • Solvent makers (methanol, toluene, acetone, MDC, IPA)
  • Reagent and catalyst suppliers
  • Solvent recovery units
  • Drum and liner suppliers
  • TSDF and CETP operators

Credit and cash

KSM from China on advance or LC, from Indian traders 15-30 days; solvents 15-30 days; customers 30-90 days, exporters against LC or advance

KSM is bought 6-10 weeks before the API is sold; a campaign of 3-5 batches ties up ₹50 lakh-3 crore; customers pay 60-90 days after dispatch, so the unit runs on a CC limit and LCs.
