What a thela, cart and rickshaw maker deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Quotes given on an old steel rate; profit disappears when steel rises. Ready carts sit uncollected and balances are not chased.

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.
- Steel and wheel dealers
- cart workshop
- street vendor, municipality or factory
Your suppliers
- Steel dealer (MS pipe and angle and sheet)
- Stainless steel sheet dealer
- Wheel, rim and tyre dealers
- Paint shop
- Welding rod and gas dealer
- Plywood dealer
Credit and cash
Walk-in vendors pay 30-50% advance and balance at delivery; municipal and GeM buyers pay 60-120 days after delivery and inspection. Steel dealers give 7-15 days to known workshops
Steel is bought for each order the same day; labour paid weekly. Tender orders tie up steel money for 3-4 months, so many small shops avoid them or ask for an advance.
