MatruOS for a truck body and trailer builder
Set up the way a truck body and trailer builder runs: body building charges on customer chassis (labour plus material), complete trailers and tipper bodies sold as goods, body repair and re-building of old trucks. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a truck body and trailer builder deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Promised release dates slip because welder teams are spread across too many chassis. Steel rate rises after quoting and the margin on fixed-price bodies disappears.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 8 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 9 licences for a truck body and trailer builder, 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.

Credit and cash
Customers pay 30-50% advance and the balance before release, or the financier releases funds against the body invoice; steel bought on advance or 7-15 days
Steel is paid early and the chassis owner pays at release; a delayed finance release holds the finished truck and blocks the yard
