What this solves
What a sticker and label printer deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Dies and plates for repeat jobs cannot be found and new ones get made. Wrong text or barcode on labels means reprint and a lost customer.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 7 licences for a sticker and label printer, 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.
