Who keeps the ledger
The bureau
Core Routepoint Analytics began as a drawer of marked maps on Marjanishvili Street, kept for firms that still send vans with a paper list on the dash.
The bureau occupies a room on Level 6, 39 Marjanishvili Street, Tbilisi 0102, above a street that has heard marshrutkas and delivery vans since before the present numbering. We opened the drawer to other firms after spending years marking our own family’s rounds — cheese to the Dezerter stalls, then parcels when a cousin bought a second van.
We are not a motor pool and not a radio room. The offer is reading and drawing: taking the waybills a Georgian depot already produces and returning maps and delay notes a dispatcher can argue with. Clients are courier shops, food firms, wine movers, and spare-parts counters who still know their drivers by first name.
The working rule is simple. If a claim cannot be walked or read from the week’s paper, it does not go on the plate. That keeps us honest on ice in Sololaki and on the long wait at a Rustavi factory gate. It also means we refuse work that asks us to decorate a wall with a pretty Georgia and no doors.
When a study is finished, the file stays in the cabinet under the firm’s name. You may send a new week later; we do not pretend last spring’s Friday still holds after a street is dug up.
At the table
Who reads the manifests
Nika Beridze
Nika draws the plates. He trained on paper maps for municipal works before sitting with courier manifests, and he still prefers a pencil margin to a glowing screen at the briefing table.
Mariam Tsiklauri
Mariam rides the rounds. She notices the second man needed on a stair drop and the gate that opens only when the guard finishes tea.
Lela Mchedlidze
Lela holds the briefing. She used to assign doors for a bakery chain in Vake, which is why she will stop a drawing that a driver cannot read at dawn.
