How JMT works
Every JMT transaction follows the same nine-step flow. Roles are clear at each step: buyer, seller, JMT.
Inquiry
BuyerJMTThe buyer sends an inquiry from a listing through JMT. The buyer's contact details are not shared with the seller at this stage — JMT mediates the conversation.
JMT confirms listing and seller
SellerJMTJMT confirms the listing is still available, the seller is verified, and no compliance flag blocks the transaction. The inquiry routes to the seller for response.
Quotation confirmed
BuyerSellerJMTBuyer and JMT confirm the final quotation in writing: machine price, FOB or all-in, included services. The quotation is the source of truth for the transaction total.
Buyer payment recorded
BuyerJMTThe buyer pays JMT. Finance records the payment under the transaction and stamps the receipt timestamp. The seller sees the funds-received status but does not receive payout yet.
Seller prepares machine
SellerJMTOnce payment is confirmed, the seller starts preparation: cleaning, reconditioning if agreed, paperwork. JMT moves the transaction through preparing → in transport → at port.
Transport, loading, export
SellerJMTJMT coordinates inland transport, loading, and export documentation. Status visible to the buyer at every stage. Container requirements per the listing or per buyer request.
B/L issued and verified
SellerJMTLogistics uploads the Bill of Lading. Finance cross-checks the chassis or serial number against the listing. The B/L badge progresses to issued, then verified by JMT.
Seller payout recorded
SellerJMTAfter B/L verification, finance dispatches the seller payout (system-of-record). No payout happens before this step regardless of seller pressure.
Transaction completed
BuyerSellerJMTJMT closes the transaction. The buyer's Buyer Hub shows the completion card; the seller's hub shows the payout status.
Every state change at every step is written to an append-only audit log with actor, role, and timestamp. Admin overrides are flagged explicitly.
