02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 8 licences for an industrial supplies (MRO) dealer, 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.
