Flagship assessment
Supply chain monitoring assessment
A single-shift visit that turns the morning trailer line, the warehouse stream, and the inventory base into a brief the night crew can actually use.
- Format On-site visit and drawn brief
- Duration One working day on site, brief within five working days
- Where Your yard, warehouse, or corridor; Tbilisi first, Georgia by arrangement
- Fee basis From 1,850 GEL for a Tbilisi single-shift survey
This is the visit we recommend when a warehouse still talks about “the queue” as if it were weather. It is for inbound leads, warehouse owners, and dispatch supervisors who already know the yard is tight and need a drawing that the next shift can argue with.
Who it is for
Importers, wholesalers, and third-party warehouses in and around Tbilisi, plus yards on the Poti and Batumi hinterland that can spare a host for one shift. You need at least one person who may walk us from the gate to dispatch and answer, without ceremony, which lots are trusted and which are not.
It is not for firms that want a wall of screens installed, and it is not a training course. If you only need a two-hour look at the 05:00 trailer line, the queue congestion review is the better fit.
The result
You receive a monitoring pack: a stream map of receiving, hold, pick, and dispatch; a queue strip for the appointment window we watched; and a marked inventory-base sheet showing where the ledger and the floor disagreed that day. Supervisors pin it. We have seen night crews correct a dock window the same week because the strip named the three trailers that had no bay.
Scope
Included
- Arrival before the first appointment window on an agreed day
- Hand copy of the dock schedule and the trailers already waiting
- Walk of the cargo stream with a host from your crew
- Count of dwell in named pockets: cage, damage island, unmarked corridor
- Comparison of a sample of lots against the inventory base you use that morning
- A written brief of four to eight sheets, in English, delivered as print-ready pages
- A one-hour reading of the brief with the people who hosted the visit
Not included
- Customs brokerage, carrier booking, or warehouse labour
- Software, sensors, cameras, or a screen on the wall
- Night-shift coverage unless booked as a second day
- Translation into Georgian unless agreed when you write to us
- A second site on the same fee
Who does the work
A Queuestreambase analyst walks the yard. On most Tbilisi visits that is Nino Kapanadze or Giorgi Tsereteli, with a second pair of hands if the warehouse has more than four active bays. The brief is drawn at our Chavchavadze desk, not in a café between meetings.
How the day runs
- Gate. We arrive early, copy the appointments, and mark every trailer that is waiting without a bay.
- Stream. We walk receiving, hold, pick face, and dispatch, noting where pallets sit without a next action.
- Base. We sample lots the inventory base still claims, including the bonded cage if you have one.
- Desk. Back on Chavchavadze Avenue we draw the sheets and write the short list of disagreements.
- Reading. We return, in person or by a scheduled call, and walk the pack with the same hosts.
Duration and timing
Plan a full working day on site. The brief follows within five working days, sooner if the yard is a single dock in Tbilisi. A second day is quoted if you want the night window drawn as well.
Where it happens
On your concrete. We do not reconstruct a warehouse from photographs alone. Sites inside Tbilisi and along the Rustavi road are ordinary. Yards toward Poti, Batumi, or the Sarpi approach need travel time in the quote.
What you prepare
- A host who may walk the whole stream
- That morning’s dock schedule, even if it is a photocopy
- Access to the inventory base you actually use — the book, the printout, or the screen the clerk trusts
- Warning to security that two people will stand at the gate before dawn
- A table for the later reading
If a bay is sealed, say so. We will not invent a stream through a door we were not allowed to open.
Constraints
We will not publish your yard. The brief is yours. We will not pretend a one-shift drawing is a season of weather. Harvest weeks, Black Sea congestion, and Georgian holiday shutdowns change the picture; a recurring brief is the way to watch that, not a thicker first pack.
Hazardous cargo, bonded goods, and sites that forbid photography are still visitable. In those cases the drawings are made from notes, not from pictures of your aisles.
Fee
From 1,850 GEL for a single-shift survey of a Tbilisi yard with up to four bays. Distance, a night window, extra buildings, and Georgian-language sheets are quoted before we set a date. A deposit of 30 percent holds the day. The remainder is due when the brief is delivered.
Next step
Write to the desk with the site, the shift you care about, and how many bays work that morning. We answer within two working days and propose a visit date.
