One system for the whole material lifecycle — Import to Export.

Raw materials, production, inventory, sales and trade documents — tracked in your industry’s own terms, from steel grades to GSM, LME to landed cost. With an AI assistant that answers in plain English.

Why factories outgrow their tools

Six leaks every material manufacturer knows too well.

These aren’t hypothetical. They’re the exact failure modes Matrex was built to close — drawn straight from how metal, plastics and paper plants actually run.

See how Matrex closes each one

Spreadsheet sprawl

Production plans, stock registers and shipment trackers live in disconnected spreadsheets. One wrong cell quietly breaks everything downstream.

Trade-document chaos

BL, BE, COO, LC, FIRC buried in inboxes and WhatsApp. Customs deadlines slip and IGST refunds stall.

Manual re-keying

The same quantity typed into a PO, a GRN, a production order and an invoice — four chances for an error that surfaces at month-end.

Silent stock-outs

No early warning on critical raw material. The line stops and procurement scrambles at a premium — even though the shortage was visible weeks earlier.

Invisible yield loss

Scrap, trim waste and re-melt eat margin run after run, but without yield % per shift the leak never gets measured.

Landed-cost blind spot

True cost per shipment is unknown until weeks later — freight, duty, CHA fees and transport each recorded somewhere different.

The material lifecycle

One spine, end to end

Most factories stitch together a customs tool, a spreadsheet for stock, a separate billing app and email for documents. Matrex runs every stage on one connected thread — so nothing falls through the gaps between them.

Stage 01

Import

Raise import contracts, track POs through CHA / customs clearance and dispatch — then roll freight, duty, CHA and transport into a true landed cost per shipment.

Import ContractsCHA / CustomsDispatchLanded Cost
USD / EURmulti-currency contracts
Stage 02

Raw Materials

Receive against GRN, log heat / lot numbers and MTC certificates, and value stock by grade, alloy or GSM with live market-rate references.

Production

Run production orders against a BOM, optimise cutting / slitting layouts, capture shift output and measure yield % and scrap recovery on every run.

Inventory

Finished goods land in a batch-tracked, multi-location store with a full stock ledger and automatic low / critical reorder alerts.

Config-driven, not generic

Built for your industry — literally

A steel mill and a paper converter don't speak the same language. Matrex doesn't force a generic vocabulary on either. Pick an industry and watch the whole app re-skin its terms, fields, units, modules and starter data — live.

Same engine. Same database. One config value re-skins every label, field and module — so the software speaks yourshop floor’s language, not a generic one.

Domain depth

It speaks the language of your shop floor

Generic ERPs make you bend your process to fit their data model. Matrex was built from the metal and material trades up.

Traceability

Heat numbers & MTC / CoA

Every batch carries its heat or lot number and mill test certificate, traceable from GRN through production to the dispatch challan.

Full batch traceability — from the supplier's MTC to the customer's CoA — with heat numbers printed on every outbound document.

Landed-cost intelligence

The price on the PO is never the real cost.

Freight, customs duty, CHA fees and inland transport are recorded in different places — so the true cost per MT stays invisible until weeks after the shipment clears. Matrex rolls every charge into one landed-cost sheet linked to the PO.
