The hour a trailer sits at the dock is still a cost.

Deployvectorgrid tracks how freight actually moves through Georgian yards, gates, and lanes — then draws the waits so a Monday meeting can see them. We walk the floor. The pictures come after the walk.

Gate-in clocks, dock calendars, and carrier promises rarely tell the same story. We put them on one page.

From the floor

A Tbilisi morning is often lost before the first pick.

A hostler waits on a door that still holds yesterday’s trailer. The ASN looks clean. The dock sheet does not. By ten o’clock the outbound wave is already borrowing time from the afternoon, and nobody can point to the hour it slipped. That is the kind of morning we are hired to explain.

Logistics performance tracking, for us, is not a wall of numbers. It is a record of where people, trailers, and paperwork actually paused — at Poti, on the East–West Highway, or on a ring-road cross-dock — drawn so a shift lead and a finance manager can read the same page.

“The on-time figure was respectable. The customers were still waiting. The gap lived in dwell at door four, not in the line-haul.” From a winter review at a Tbilisi 3PL

Flagship work

The logistics performance review

Ten to fifteen working days. On the yard and in the records. A set of visual scorecards and a written briefing you can take into the next planning meeting.

Built for warehouse operators, private fleets, and 3PLs who already know the work is slipping and need to show where. We observe a live week, reconstruct the week before from gate and dock records, and map delays to doors, shifts, carriers, and lanes.

Included: a site walk-through, a scorecard pack (dwell, on-time against promise, exception clusters), and a close-out briefing in Tbilisi or at your yard. Not included: software licences, ongoing system administration, or a rewrite of your warehouse layout.

Corridors, not abstractions

Work stays inside the roads, ports, and yards that actually carry Georgian freight. See the corridors we walk.

The average hid the night shift.

A beverage importer asked us to explain why Batumi arrivals looked punctual while Tbilisi stores still ran short. The line-haul was not the leak. Night-shift dwell at a single door ate the buffer the planner thought still existed. The scorecard made that visible without blaming the crew that inherited the backlog at dawn.

When exceptions pile on the same lane

Short-ships, refused trailers, and claims often share a corridor. Treating each ticket as a unique accident hides the lane that keeps producing them.

Preparing a peak briefing for a Tbilisi distribution floor

Harvest and holiday weeks fail at the same three places: a noon inbound wave, a door that cannot turn, and a roster that assumed last year’s overtime was still available.

What a week of Poti gate records actually shows

Discharge can look finished while the truck is still a rumour. Gate-out is the first honest inland clock — if you bother to keep it.
