The problem

Networks drift from the P&L one small change at a time

Sites, customers and service promises change every year, but the network is rarely redrawn to match them.

What operators tell usWhat Hubshape does
“We know the total, not where it goes.”Cost sits in ledger lines, not in the lanes, sites and customers that cause it.
→
Cost to serve, by stageEvery cost line spread across first mile, hub to hub, handling and last mile, down to each customer.
“The model never matched the accounts.”Studies built on averages that the finance team does not recognise.
→
A baseline reconciled to the P&LEach cost line explained and agreed with your finance owner before anyone signs it.
Every idea is its own spreadsheetEach option costed a different way, so none can be compared with the others.
→
Scenarios on one modelOne change at a time against the baseline, with saving, cost of change and risks side by side.
The plan stalls after the board packThe people who run the routes never saw how the numbers were built.
→
Played back, then handed overFindings confirmed with the people who deliver them, and the model stays with your team.
How Hubshape works

From your data to a plan the business can sign, in four steps

Each step ends in something your team agrees, and each one is a screen you can open in the demo on slide 6.

1Data in, checkedYour own files, matched and checked row by row. Every fix is recorded and agreed, never made silently.In the demo: Data › Checks
2Baseline, reconciledToday's network modelled, agreed with finance line by line, and every cost spread to its stage and customer.In the demo: Baseline › Reconciliation
3Scenarios, costedOpen, close or resize sites; change delivery days, slots and fleet. Each run shows its saving, cost of change and risks.In the demo: Options › Scenarios
4A path to break evenEvery option against the gap to break even, then the findings played back with the people who deliver them.In the demo: Options › Compare
Your data in

Send the files you already have, in their own formats

Hubshape matches the columns as they arrive, checks every row, and never holds a full postcode, a name or an address.

What you send

  • Sites and delivery pointsDepots, hubs and partners; every delivery by postcode sector and customer
  • Volumes and journeysThe weekly volume profile, journeys and mileage, and the route export
  • Cost base and contractsThe P&L lines for the network, trunk lane rates and the fleet list
Hubshape
Matchcolumns to the model, in your own namesCheckevery row: pass, warn or failTreateach fix recorded and agreed, then applied

What Hubshape then knows

  • Who you serve, and from whereEach delivery point with the site that serves it today
  • What it costs, stage by stageFirst mile, hub to hub, handling and last mile, tied to the P&L
  • What could changeEvery site with its capacity, and the limits that bind it

What it gives you

A network you can explain, cost and change with confidence

Four things a Hubshape study leaves behind, each one a screen in the demo, with the UK demo’s figures.

1We finally know where the money goesCost to serve by customerEvery customer, segment and delivery point costed from first mile to the doorstep.15 of 57 customers found losing money
2The board trusts the numbersA baseline finance signsEvery line of the cost base explained and agreed within a tolerance before any option is run.7 of 7 cost lines agreed, 0.4% apart
3We can see the way to break evenOptions against the gapEach scenario's saving, cost of change and payback set against the gap to break even.£5.01m a year, 82% of the gap closed
4The crews were part of itA plan the operation ownsFindings confirmed in playback with the people who run the routes, then the model handed over.4 of 4 options signed off by the sponsor
