Supply Chain Lab
An end-to-end supply-chain toolkit — from network design and transport optimization to warehouse operations and service performance. Upload your data once and run any of 24 analyses across four operational areas.
Overview
24 supply-chain analyses
Network design, transport optimization, warehouse operations, and service performance — all in one toolkit.
Upload once, analyze many
Load your CSV once and run any analysis without re-uploading.
Export & AI Chat
Download results as CSV, PNG, or Word — or ask the AI Chat to interpret your findings.

How it works
Select an analysis
Pick an analysis from the sidebar. Before any data is loaded, the page opens on an intro screen for that method.
Check what it needs
The intro splits inputs into REQUIRED (e.g. latitude, longitude — needed to run) and OPTIONAL (demand, weight, cost…) that refine the result. Map the columns you have. Use Analysis Guide or Load sample data to see the format.
Upload your data
Drag a CSV or Excel file anywhere onto the page — a drop zone appears; release to upload. One upload works across every analysis in this lab.
Map your columns
Open the Variables dropdown and match your columns to the analysis fields. Most auto-detect from the names; the result renders as soon as they’re mapped — no Run button.
On an analysis page
At the top of every analysis page you'll find a Variables dropdown — this is where you assign your columns to the fields each analysis needs (e.g. latitude, longitude, demand, weight, cost; most fields auto-detect from the column names) — and a Guide button that explains the method. Both stay at the top while you work.
Reading your results
Once it renders, the result comes in two parts: a plain-language Summary with the headline finding and recommendations, followed by the detailed output — metric cards, maps, tables, and charts.
AI Chat — ask anything about your result
Once an analysis runs, a circular toggle button appears at the bottom of the results panel. Click it to open AI Chat — the AI already knows which analysis was run and what the result was, so you can ask follow-up questions without re-explaining the context.
Explain results in plain language
Translates output into plain sentences — useful for stakeholders who don't read logistics metrics.
Interpret key numbers
Ask about any metric in the result — what it means, whether it's a problem, and why it matters.
Suggest next steps
Ask what the result implies in practice and what you should consider doing next.
Draft a summary
Request a written paragraph based on the result, ready to copy into a report or presentation.
Analysis sections
Supply Chain organizes its analyses into 4 sections by operational area.
Network
Where should facilities sit and how should product flow?
Facility & Flow
Facility Location
Site warehouses or plants to minimize cost or distance — center-of-gravity and p-median models.
Network Flow Optimization
Route product across the network at minimum total cost (min-cost flow).
Hub vs Direct
Compare hub-and-spoke against direct shipping on cost and service.
Coverage & Territory
Service Territory Design
Carve balanced delivery or sales territories by demand and drive time.
Drop Density
Analyze stops per route per area to gauge route efficiency.
Coverage & Reachability
Measure what share of demand is reachable within a target time or distance.
Transport
How do goods move at least cost?
Routing
Route Optimization
Solve the vehicle routing problem to sequence stops at least cost (VRP).
Time-Window Routing
Route under delivery time-window constraints (VRPTW).
Fleet & Mode
Fleet Sizing
Determine the number and mix of vehicles needed to meet demand.
Mode Selection
Choose between truck, rail, air, and ocean on cost, speed, and reliability trade-offs.
Cost & Carriers
Freight Rate Analysis
Benchmark and analyze freight rates by lane, weight break, and carrier.
Load Consolidation
Combine shipments to fill vehicles and cut cost per unit shipped.
Carrier Performance
Score carriers on on-time delivery, damage, and cost.
Warehouse
How efficient is the four-wall operation?
Storage & Picking
Slotting Optimization
Place SKUs in storage locations to minimize travel and congestion (ABC slotting).
Pick Path Optimization
Sequence pick locations to shorten the walking path per order.
Operations
Labor Planning
Forecast and schedule warehouse labor against the workload.
Dock Scheduling
Schedule inbound and outbound dock appointments to balance flow and cut detention.
Inventory Accuracy
Measure record-vs-actual accuracy and design cycle-count programs.
Performance
What does service cost and how good is it?
Cost
Cost-to-Serve
Allocate the true end-to-end cost of serving each customer, channel, or order.
Total Landed Cost
Sum product, freight, duty, and handling into the fully landed unit cost.
Service & Sustainability
OTIF / Perfect Order
Measure On-Time-In-Full and the perfect-order rate across the order lifecycle.
Delivery SLA
Track delivery performance against service-level-agreement targets.
Carbon per Shipment
Estimate emissions per shipment or unit for sustainability reporting.
KPI Scorecard
Roll up cost, service, and quality KPIs into one supply-chain scorecard.
