Route study
Two or three weeks with your manifests, a drawn atlas of the rounds, and a briefing at the depot table.
Tbilisi, from the sixth floor on Marjanishvili Street
Lead column
Monday’s drops, drawn from the manifests you already keep
The vans leave Didube before the bakers on Marjanishvili Street pull the first trays. By noon the kilometre log is a stack of numbers with no street attached. We sit with that stack, walk the same kerbs, and return a set of plates a dispatcher can actually hold.
Core Routepoint Analytics is a Tbilisi bureau for route studies and delivery maps. We do not sell a switchboard or a monthly seat. We take the paper you already produce — waybills, drop lists, fuel slips — and draw where time is spent on the round.
What leaves this desk
Four kinds of work, all on paper and on the kerb
A courier firm in Gldani does not need the same sheet as a wine depot sending cases to Batumi. Choose the commission that matches how you already run the day.
Delivery area map
A single readable map of the streets you serve, with slopes, market days, and van limits marked in the margin.
Observed round
One of us rides or follows a day’s drops and writes what the log omits: waits, reverse runs, and doors that take a second man.
A note from a dispatcher
The Saburtalo round that kept doubling back on itself
We knew the vans were late into Didi Dighomi. What we did not have was a drawing that showed the left turn onto a one-way that forced a loop past the same bakery three times. The plate made the argument for me with the owner.
That study did not change the number of doors. It changed the order they were knocked. The reservation she still makes is fair: the first week of new order felt slower until the drivers trusted the sheet.
Plates from the atlas
Districts already walked with a pencil
Old Tbilisi lanes
Sololaki and Avlabari, where a long van cannot turn and a drop is often a walk from a wider street.
The S4 toward Rustavi
A corridor of factory gates and timed slots, drawn with the waits that never appear as kilometres.
Field notes
Recent entries in the journal
What to photocopy before you climb to Level 6
A short packing list for a first visit to the Marjanishvili bureau: the week, the vans, the streets you already refuse, and the name of the person who can answer the same day.
A pile of waybills is not yet a route sheet
Waybills prove a crate moved. A route sheet tells a driver the order of doors. Mixing the two is how two vans climb the same stair.
