How it works
From data to decision in three steps.
No training. No implementation. No waiting. Upload your demand data and get actionable network recommendations immediately.
Step 01
01
Upload your demand data
Import historical or forecasted demand data by customer location. Supports CSV upload — no special formatting or preprocessing required.
Step 02
02
Configure your analysis
Set the number of distribution centers to evaluate. Choose greenfield (new network design) or brownfield (optimize existing footprint) mode.
Step 03
03
Get GIS-enhanced recommendations
Receive optimal facility locations with full demand-mile transparency. Compare scenarios side by side. Export and share results instantly.
See it in action
Watch the analysis run in real time.
Two tutorials — one for building new networks from scratch, one for rationalizing existing ones.
Greenfield
Siting a new distribution network
See how to go from raw demand data to optimal DC locations in under five minutes.
Brownfield
Rationalizing an existing network
Walk through a post-merger DC consolidation scenario — which facilities to keep, which to exit.
Why Greenfield Analysis
The right tool for this decision.
Most teams reach for the wrong option — a consultant when they need speed, or enterprise software when they need simplicity.

Methodology
Rigorous analysis. Transparent results.
Our approach combines proven OR methodology with GIS enhancement — giving you the why behind every recommendation, not just the answer. No black box. No slide decks. Just defensible decisions.
1
Center of Gravity foundation
We start with the proven CoG method — treating each customer location as a weighted point based on demand volume to establish an initial optimal location.
2
GIS-enhanced accuracy
We layer in Geographic Information Systems data — real road networks, population centers, and geographic constraints that straight-line math misses.
3
Demand-mile transparency
Every recommendation shows you exactly which demand is driving it. You understand the tradeoffs, not just the answer — so you can defend the decision to leadership.
4
Brownfield rationalization
Evaluate your existing DC footprint — which facilities to keep, expand, or exit — with the same rigorous methodology applied to your actual network.
Platform benefits
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Purpose-built for planners, analysts, and executives who need network design answers — not a software certification.
Instant executive insights
Make confident decisions faster — no waiting, no consultants, no extended analysis timeline.
Unlimited scenario runs
Compare multiple DC configurations side by side to find the optimal network design for your business.
Import your own data
Upload demand data and immediately see optimized results against your actual customer network.
Cost transparency
Understand the demand-mile tradeoffs driving every recommendation — not just the answer, but the why.
Global coverage
Model supply chain networks anywhere in the world — no geographic restrictions on analysis.
Brownfield analysis
Optimize existing infrastructure — evaluate which DCs to keep, expand, or consolidate post-merger.
Complete data privacy
Secure live analysis — your supply chain data is never stored, never retained, never at risk.
Built for your whole team
Self-service tools designed for planners, analysts, and decision-makers — not just data scientists.
Pricing
Pricing that matches the job.
Most teams run a greenfield study once — to make a single big decision. Pay for the window you need, not an ongoing subscription you won't use.
Most popular
Project
One decision, one window. Run your full greenfield or brownfield study on your own data and land the answer.
The ROI math: A single DC location decision informed by data rather than intuition can redirect millions in annual freight spend. A 90-day project license at $600 pays for itself the moment it prevents one bad siting call — often within the first afternoon of scenario runs.
The team
Built by people who've done this for decades.
We designed and operated global supply chains for Fortune 500 companies before building the tool we always wished existed.
