We deploy into your operation and make it run better.

Lanework is a research lab for logistics and supply chain. We send in a small team, dig into the data you already have, and fix what it turns up. Sometimes the answer is a better process, sometimes it’s software we build.

01What we study

Supply chains are fragmented across systems, markets, and silos. The same failures recur whether the asset is a truck or a dock door. We study it as one stack, six problems deep, and follow the evidence wherever the leverage is.

02How we work
01 · STUDY

We run independent research on the operational data operators already hold, and publish what we find.

02 · EMBED

We forward-deploy a small team into your operation. We work your real data alongside your planners and dispatchers, and improve the process on the ground.

03 · BUILD

Not every fix needs software. When one does, we build it and stand behind it. Research is the moat; the product is what remains.

05What you can hire us for

Everyone else optimizes inside the architecture that creates the problem.

We redesign the architecture, and price what that is worth. Start with one bounded problem: the snapshot is free and tells you whether the rest is worth doing.

Readiness snapshot

Free. A short read on where your operation is likely leaking and whether the rest is worth doing.

Network or fulfillment assessment

Lanes ranked by empty miles, or throughput by constraint, with the recovery modelled in dollars.

Operational due diligence

For investors: a retention- and deadhead-adjusted view of EBITDA, in time for your deal.
