MatruOS for a steel utensils maker
Set up the way a steel utensils maker runs: utensils and kitchenware sold by kg (loose, to wholesalers) or by piece (packed, branded) and institutional orders (hotels, mid-day meal, army). Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.
