MatruOS for a roofing sheet roll-forming unit
Set up the way a roofing sheet roll-forming unit runs: forming colour-coated and galvalume coil into roofing and wall profile sheets sold per running metre or per kg, cold-formed C and Z purlins and girts sold per kg, deck sheet, ridges, flashings and gutters, plus traded screws, polycarbonate sheets and ventilators, and delivery. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a roofing sheet roll-forming unit deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Lengths are cut coil by coil from memory; offcuts and short ends waste 1-3% of coil. Coil price changes every week but the rate card sent to dealers is a month old.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 10 licences for a roofing sheet roll-forming unit, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What 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.

Credit and cash
Coil from mill distributors: advance or 7-15 days, priced on dispatch date; PEB builders and fabricators: 30-45 days on a running account, often with post-dated cheques; dealers: 15-30 days; farmers and house owners: 50% advance and balance before unloading
Coil is the money: a small unit holds 80-200 tonnes across 10-20 colour and thickness combinations (₹70 lakh-1.8 crore). Coil is paid on dispatch, formed within 2-6 weeks, and fabricator money comes 30-60 days later, so the unit funds about two months of sales on cash credit.
