What keepers said after the sitting
These notes name the work that was done. They are not scores. One of them records a delay we caused, because a review that pretends every sitting was smooth is not a review a warehouse would trust.
They marked the tea and sugar bays in ink so I could see, on one sheet, which lines would run out before the next Poti arrival. I still keep my own pencil tallies; the picture sits beside them, not instead of them.
Mariam T., dry-goods importer, Tbilisi — Visual Stock Review
The calendar for New Year was useful. What I used daily was the short list of biscuits that look festive and do not move after the seventh of January. We ordered less of those and more of the plain tea we actually sell in February.
Davit K., grocer, Saburtalo — Seasonal replenishment calendar
I asked them to look at fittings that had sat since the last renovation boom. The list was honest. I did not enjoy seeing the holding cost on the brass elbows. I also did not return them, which they noted without making a speech.
Sopho M., hardware shop, Paliasashvili — Slow-mover review
A depot in Gldani, late receiving
A family dry-goods warehouse asked for a Visual Stock Review after a winter in which sugar arrived late and rice sat too long. Nestan walked the racks on a Thursday when the dock was still blocked by a truck that should have left at dawn. The count they handed over was five weeks old.
The pictures showed a familiar pattern: fast grocery lines with thin days of cover, and a back wall of imported sauces that had not moved since the previous tourist season. The ninety-day buying list cut the sauce reorder and brought rice forward by two weeks against the vendor’s real lead time, not the printed one.
The sitting ran over. Lela’s first floor sketch put the slow bays on the wrong side of the shrink-wrap machine because the hand-drawn plan we were given had the aisles mirrored. We redrew it. The client was right to be irritated; the second sketch matched the floor. They used the buying list for the next two Poti orders and came back in spring for a dead-stock pass on the sauces.
A Batumi grocer before the tourist weeks
Giorgi already knew Adjara’s August swell. The work was an open-to-buy sitting, not a review of the whole warehouse. The shop had over-committed to bottled drink because a sales representative was in town. The envelope sheet showed the drink category had already spent the season. They cancelled one pallet, kept the water, and left the novelty flavours on the traveller’s list.
If your warehouse has a story you are willing to put in ink, the desk can add it here after the work is finished. We do not invent ratings or count “happy clients.”
