What this solves

What a chemist and druggist deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Expired stock is found after the stockist's return window and written off (1-3% of purchases). Shortage book on paper; patients sent back and buy elsewhere.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 4 registers and 8 licences for a chemist and druggist, 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.
