OnlyTons — User Documentation (English)

OnlyTons digitizes the coordination work of an organic agri-food broker. Buyers don't just source spot supply — they plan and secure future supply against real agricultural cycles, and the broker is a party to every deal.

Read these in order if you're new, or jump to what you need.

Start here

1. Overview — what OnlyTons is and the problem it solves
2. Core concepts — the mental model: forward supply, availability windows, aggregation, intermediation
3. Public browsing — what anyone can see before signing up, and why quantities and dates are shown as ranges
4. Getting started — accounts, signing in, finding your way around
5. Registration & approval — signing yourself up, the five-step setup, and the broker's review
6. Roles & permissions — who can do what
7. Operator privacy — why OnlyTons is not a directory, and what you can and cannot see about another organization
