A new site touches BD, legal, finance, design, construction, and a dozen vendors. When that lives in an Excel tracker and a 60-reply email chain, nobody sees the slip until the weekly review. And the opening date pays for it.
Promise dates change quietly in a spreadsheet. There is no alert, no reason logged, and no way to see which opening is at risk this week.
Commercials, capex, and design sign-offs sit in email threads. One busy approver stalls the entire opening, and nobody is accountable for the wait.
Contractors, brokers, and landlords update you over calls and WhatsApp. Their delays become your delays, with no proof and no trail.
Build your opening playbook once. Run it for every site. Every step is a node on your canvas, and Nodes moves each one to the right person at the right time, chases the late ones, and shows you exactly where every opening stands.
Drag task, form, and approval nodes onto a canvas and connect them. Branch on outcomes, run steps in parallel, and copy a workflow per site type in one click.
No code · no trainingRoute sign-offs to the right approver with a deadline. On approve, downstream tasks fire automatically. On decline, the work loops back for revision.
Multi-level · audit trailDue dates run on your work calendar, not the clock. Post-approval TATs start when the approval lands, so nobody gets blamed for a weekend.
Work calendars · holidaysContractors, brokers, and landlords complete tasks and submit forms through a simple link. No account, no app, no seat. Their updates land in the flow with proof attached.
One-click links, no loginsEvery assignment and approval arrives by email with a one-click link to act. Escalations climb automatically as due dates approach and pass. Nobody has to remember to log in.
Zero-login executionSee each run with its ETA, what is pending, with whom, and for how long. Delay requests need a reason and advance notice, so accountability is built in.
ETAs · overdue · pending atOnce your first flow is live, teams find the next one fast. Anything with a sequence, a deadline, and an approval belongs on the canvas.
Site intake to grand opening: feasibility, commercials, approvals, fit-out, licenses, hiring, and go-live, per site type.
Coordinate design, contractors, and site teams around a closure window that cannot slip.
Route purchase requests through maker-checker chains with documents and deadlines attached.
Push campaign changeovers and VM resets to every location by a hard date, with proof of completion.
Collect documents, agreements, and compliance checks from new vendors through external links.
Never miss a critical date. Renewals kick off their own flow with the right owners and lead time.
Teams try generic tools for openings and hit the same walls. Nodes is built for how multi-location brands actually open and run sites.
Pick a proven opening playbook or bring your own Excel tracker. Adjust tasks, owners, and SLAs on the canvas to match how your brand opens.
Add teammates by email and vendors by link. Assignments can change per site while the playbook stays the same.
Hit run for each new site. Tasks fire in order, approvals gate what they should, and your dashboard shows every opening against its date.
Every week a site opens late is a week of revenue gone. Drag the sliders and see what on-time openings are worth to your brand, next to what Nodes costs.

Most teams have their first workflow running the same day. You start from a template or your existing tracker, rename tasks, set owners and SLAs, and hit run. There is no admin training, no implementation project, and no consultant.
No logins, no app installs. External collaborators get a web link to complete their task, fill a form, or upload documents and photos, and their submissions land in the run with a timestamped trail. They do count as users on your plan like everyone else, and you can deactivate them anytime a project ends.
Those are excellent general-purpose trackers. Nodes is built specifically for multi-team, deadline-driven flows in retail: approval gates with decline loops, SLAs on work calendars, post-approval TATs, delay governance with reasons, and free external access for vendors. You get in an afternoon what takes weeks to configure elsewhere.
No. Those tools automate software integrations and are built for developers. Nodes orchestrates people: tasks, approvals, forms, and deadlines across teams. Each step is just a node you drag onto a canvas. If you can describe your opening process, you can build it here, no technical skills needed.
Yes. Openings are usually the first flow because the pain is sharpest, but teams quickly add remodels, capex and finance approvals, vendor onboarding, seasonal rollouts, and license renewals. Any process with a sequence, owners, and deadlines fits.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on AWS with regional backups, with role-based access and a full audit trail. Enterprise plans include a security review and documentation for your IT and legal teams.
An active workflow is a playbook that is switched on and running sites through it, like your flagship format opening flow or your capex approval chain. Archived workflows do not count. Most brands run 2 to 6 active workflows, so Starter covers a focused team and Growth covers openings, remodels, and approvals side by side.
Yes, because the trial is for building, not finishing. In 14 days you can set up your opening playbook, connect your team and vendors, and launch a real site. You will see tasks firing, approvals moving, and your dashboard filling up well before the trial ends. The opening itself keeps running after you subscribe.
You pick a plan or you do not. Your workflows and data stay safe either way, and we will never auto-charge you because we do not take a card up front.
Build your opening playbook this afternoon and run it for every site after. Free for 14 days.
