Visibility assessment

A visibility assessment is the work we are asked for most often. It is for importers, distributors, and makers who keep stock in Georgia and can no longer say, without a quarrel, where a given family of goods is sitting today.

Who it is for

You have at least one warehouse, bonded cage, or third-party store in Georgia, and goods that also touch a port or a land border. Two departments already keep different numbers for the same SKU family. You want a map you can put on a table, not a new place to type a password.

We decline work where we cannot meet a named host at the site, and we decline work that is only a request to “look at the files” with no permission to walk the floor.

What you leave with

You receive a set of drawn maps (yard, warehouse, or both), a short written account of where the papers and the aisle disagree, and a half-day briefing. The briefing is held at Level 6, 47 Marjanishvili Street, or at your site if the room can take a table and a wall. The result is a shared picture of positions, handoffs, and stalls — not a promise that delays will vanish.

Scope

We agree one corridor or one SKU family in writing before anyone travels. A corridor might be Poti to a Rustavi store. A family might be dry grocery, bottled wine, or spare parts. Extra sites, extra families, or a second country are a new quote.

Included

• A scoping call from Tbilisi
• A document list (bills of lading, packing lists, gate logs, layout sketches if you have them)
• One or two site walks with your host
• Drawn maps of the agreed stretch
• A written note of gaps and contradictions
• A half-day briefing

Not included

We do not implement warehouse software, rewrite carrier contracts, act as customs broker, or take a seat in your weekly operations call unless you book a separate inventory briefing. We do not invent positions for weeks you cannot document.

Who does the work

Nino Beridze leads most assessments. Giorgi Maisuradze joins when the stretch includes a port file. Ana Kapanadze draws the maps and chairs the briefing. The practice is Resolverflowgrid, based at Level 6, 47 Marjanishvili Street, Tbilisi 0102.

How the weeks run

1. You write to us with the corridor or family and a named host.
2. We reply within two working days with a scoping call or a decline.
3. After a signed note of scope, we send the document list.
4. Site walks are booked around shift times, often earlier than office hours.
5. Maps are drafted in Tbilisi. We send a draft two days before the briefing so you can mark errors.
6. The briefing is the last day of the engagement unless a small correction is agreed on the spot.

Time and place

Three to five weeks is typical for one corridor and one or two Georgian sites. Travel to Poti, Batumi, Rustavi, or a land post is included in the quote when we have named it. Work outside Georgia is not offered.

What we need from you

A host at each site who can open doors. Packing lists and bills of lading for the weeks under review. A warehouse layout if one exists — a hand sketch is enough. If March is missing from the files, say so early. We will wait rather than guess.

Constraints

We do not enter yards unescorted. We photograph only what the host allows. We will not present a clean map when the papers are incomplete; the briefing will show the holes.

Fee

Quoted per corridor, from 4,800 GEL. A deposit is due when the scope is signed. Travel nights, when needed, are listed on the quote. See Rates for how we count days and deposits, and Refunds for what happens if a walk is cancelled.

Next step

Write to the practice with the warehouse, yard, or corridor and the family of goods you want on the first map.
