Set up the way a steel service centre runs: processing charge per tonne on customer or mill coils; margin per tonne on own processed steel; scrap sales. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a steel service centre deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Edge trim and leftover mults eat yield because widths are combined by hand. Customer coils get mixed with own stock and balances are disputed.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 8 licences for a steel service centre, 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.
