What this solves

What a ship-breaking goods dealer deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

Lot cost is not split across items, so the dealer does not know which lots made money. Remote buyers need photos, nameplates and prices before travelling to Alang.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 2 workflows, 3 registers and 4 licences for a ship-breaking goods 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.
