Every Deal, Every Margin, in Real Time
Know-Now gives stone traders one platform to record purchase and sales deals, track stock in transit and on consignment, and see landed cost against sale price on every lot.
Track stock across yards, ports, and partner warehouses — including material you never physically hold.
Deal Overview
What Slows Stone Traders Down
These are the problems stone traders and brokers tell us about before they move to Know-Now.
Margin known too late
Landed cost is assembled from invoices, freight bills, and memory weeks after the material has already sold.
Stock you can't see
Material in transit, at a port, or sitting in a partner's yard never appears on any stock list you control.
Purchases and sales don't link
Which purchase covered which order is reconstructed by hand, so deal-level profit stays a guess.
Quotes lose the race
By the time you have confirmed availability and price, a faster trader has already booked the buyer.
Part-sold lots defeat the costing
A purchase sold across three buyers leaves nobody able to say what any single one of those deals actually made.
No idea which relationships pay
Which buyers and suppliers genuinely justify the working capital you tie up in them is a feeling, not a figure.

Stone Trader FAQs
Yes. Material in transit, on consignment, or drop-shipped directly from supplier to buyer stays on your stock list with its own status, so your available inventory reflects everything you can actually sell.
