Operations mapping study
A four-to-eight-week reconstruction of how your freight actually moves — yards, corridors, idle time — drawn as map sheets and read at the table.
From the Tbilisi drawing room
A week's haul, plotted from the yard gate
Eastbound metal on the lowland run — the sort of week we reconstruct from manifests, not from memory.
Freight in Georgia does not travel the way a wall map suggests. It waits at bonded stores in Poti, bunches before the Rikoti climb, and drains one Kutaisi yard while another sits idle. We sit with dispatch sheets, walk the gates, and draw that week so a manager can point at a sheet instead of arguing from recollection.
The office works from Level 12 on Vazha-Pshavela Avenue. Field days take us to yards in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, and the Black Sea ports. What we sell is a drawn reading of logistics operations — maps and a sitting where we go through them — not a login or a monthly licence.
Work we take on
All mapping work
Corridor study
One named haul drawn with its real waits: port queues, pass hours, and the towns where trucks actually rest.
Depot catchment drawing
The real area a yard feeds, drawn from deliveries and returns — not from the neat circle on the office wall.
A letter from the yard
More storiesThey came to the Rustavi yard at six, before the first long-haul left, and stood at the gate with a pencil instead of a clipboard speech. The first draft put three of our 'regular' runs on roads we had not used since winter. Awkward to look at. Useful.

We keep specimen sheets from finished studies in the atlas. Faces and company marks are held back; the roads, the hours, and the catchments remain.

The journal
What a yard visit adds that the manifests leave out
Manifests name destinations. A morning at the gate names the wait, the unofficial staging lane, and the trailer that slept two nights.
Depot catchments that look round on the wall and are not
A compass circle on a Tbilisi wall map is a lease brochure. The month of drops is a long finger toward one highway and a hole toward the river.
Why the Tbilisi–Poti run bunches at the same hours
Westbound metal does not flow. It bunches at the weighbridge, before the climb, and again when the port's own clock opens.
Read a week of dispatch sheets before you draw a single line
The first day of a study is not a sketch. It is a slow reading of waybills, looking for ghost runs and empty returns that the wall map never shows.
Briefing hours
Walk-in briefings are not kept. Write first with the yards, the corridor, or the season you want drawn. We answer within three working days and, if a study fits, we set a table hour at Level 12 on Vazha-Pshavela Avenue.
