Written by someone who lived it.
I've run a stone countertop fabrication shop for 7 years. It's a serious, multi-million dollar shop with a higher-end clientele. We've used Moraware since day one. It's a great tool.
That said, I spent a significant portion of my time manually pulling data out of Moraware, building spreadsheets, and trying to answer two questions: are we going to hit our number this month? If not, what can I do to get there? I was essentially writing software by hand, every week, just to get a clear view of what to do next.
So I built what I actually needed — a dashboard that takes Moraware data and reformats it around the one principle serious operators can't afford to ignore: your business should always be moving toward its goals. Live data. No manual input. No maintenance.
Since launch, I've cut 40–50% of the time I used to spend on data collection, departmental communication, and production planning. Stone IQ does it all now. As for me? I can focus on customer relationships, roadmapping, employee and machinery issues — all the other things that demand an operator's attention — without ever losing sight of the number.
