MatruOS for a drilling and blasting contractor
Set up the way a drilling and blasting contractor runs: charges per metre drilled, per tonne or cubic metre of rock blasted, or per round; extra for controlled blasting, vibration monitoring and secondary blasting. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a drilling and blasting contractor deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Magazine stock and blasters' records do not tally, and a shortage of detonators becomes a police case. Round sheets are lost or unsigned, so metres and rounds cannot be billed.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 10 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 10 licences for a drilling and blasting contractor, 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.
Where you sit
MatruOS starts from how your business earns
Who you sell to, who you buy from, how credit moves and where you sit in the chain decide how your screens, reminders and reports are set up.
- explosive maker or dealer
- blasting contractor (magazine, blaster)
- quarry, crusher, mine or road contractor
Your suppliers
- Licensed explosive manufacturers and dealers
- Drill bit, rod and hammer suppliers
- Compressor service
- Licensed explosive van operator
- Diesel pumps
Credit and cash
Explosives are bought in advance or on short credit from licensed dealers. Quarry clients pay monthly against round sheets, 15-45 days. Road contractors pay on running bills, slower.
Explosives, bits and diesel are paid before or soon after use. Client money comes monthly or on running bills. One delayed client can stall explosive purchases.
