MatruOS for a non-ferrous foundry

Set up the way a non-ferrous foundry runs: majuri (labour charge) per kg of good castings on the exporter's metal; margin when casting from own metal and selling by kg; small income from selling sand and slag-recovered metal. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves

What a non-ferrous foundry deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Ghat (metal loss) disputed with the exporter on every lot. Majuri paid 2-3 months late; no statement to show what is due.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 5 licences for a non-ferrous foundry, 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.
