Node places your inventory in trusted neighborhood locations minutes from your customers — then fulfills and delivers the same day, automatically. One integration. No warehouse. No premium.
You flip one switch. Node runs the network underneath: placing inventory, quoting delivery, packing orders, and booking couriers — while you keep your brand, your checkout, and your customer.
Install once on Shopify — any cart next. Your catalog, inventory, and orders sync automatically, with nothing to rebuild.
Our engine reads your real order history and pre-stocks a small shelf of the right SKUs in each neighborhood — before the orders arrive.
Customers in range see a same-day rate you control. Everyone else checks out normally. You never over-promise a delivery you can't make.
Orders route to the nearest stocked location, get picked and barcode-verified, and a courier is booked automatically. Live tracking posts back to the order.
Install the app and Node syncs your catalog and inventory.
Send one pallet; the engine distributes it across neighborhood nodes.
Nearby customers see same-day delivery as an option.
The nearest node picks, scans, and packs the order.
A courier runs the last mile; status syncs back to the order.
Typical order: click to door in about 86 minutes. The same order from a central warehouse takes 3–5 days.
Couriers are already cheap and everywhere — every test run we make comes in under $6 within five miles. What's slow is inventory sitting in one warehouse, three days away.
Node fixes the placement. Your product waits on a shelf two miles from the customer, so the last leg takes minutes instead of days — and because there's no warehouse and no premium carrier, you can offer it at the same price you already charge for standard shipping.
5–8 neighborhood nodes cover a zone at ~2-mile catchments.
Behind the one switch is a demand model trained on real orders. It decides what to stock where, restocks ahead of demand, and only ever promises a delivery it can keep. Every completed order sharpens the next decision.
Every delivery feeds the next decision.
Node is a marketplace with two customers. Pick the side you're on.
Same-day delivery on your own site — at the price of standard shipping. You keep the margin, the customer, and the data. No warehouse required.
If you run a laundromat, storage facility, or pack-and-ship counter, Node pays you to hold a small shelf and hand orders to a courier — in the dead time you already have.
Most last-mile startups begin with a slide. Node began inside a working logistics business, with a decade of real fulfillment data behind it. Every core number here is measured, not projected.
Our placement model is built on 84,381 real, geocoded orders from the founders' own 3PL — so node locations sit on demand we can see.
78% of those real orders fall within five miles of a demand-placed node — the coverage same-day actually requires.
We ran the test deliveries in production. Every run came in under $6 within five miles — below the $7 our model assumes.
Because we price at parity with no premium carrier and no warehouse, the unit is contribution-positive from order one — even in a brand-new zone.
Node grew out of Logystico, a profitable Newark 3PL. We've lived DTC fulfillment economics for a decade — these are our relationships and our warehouse.
A repricing labor market makes host space cheaper to staff, and sidewalk-robot fleets — already live in LA, Dallas, and Miami — will make the last mile cheaper still.
“We didn't hire a consultant to size the market. We have the books — because these are our relationships, our warehouse, and our model.”
Storefronts start the network. Over time, any household with idle space can host a shelf — the same way Airbnb and Uber turned spare rooms and idle cars into income. When anyone can host, coverage has no ceiling, and the cost of delivery only falls.
Laundromats, storage, and pack-and-ship counters: staffed space with dead time and a counter already in place.
Any home with a spare shelf earns from it — and as robot delivery scales into these dense zones, the last mile gets cheaper for everyone.
