The problem

Your openings still run on spreadsheets, email threads, and WhatsApp.

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.

Overdue 9d

Delays surface too late

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.

Re: Re: Fwd: approval

Approvals live in inboxes

Commercials, capex, and design sign-offs sit in email threads. One busy approver stalls the entire opening, and nobody is accountable for the wait.

Outside the system

Vendors and brokers are invisible

Contractors, brokers, and landlords update you over calls and WhatsApp. Their delays become your delays, with no proof and no trail.

The product

Every task, team, and vendor. Connected in one flow.

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.

Visual workflow builder

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 training

Approvals with decline loops

Route 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 trail

SLAs that respect real hours

Due 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 · holidays

Vendor and broker web links

Contractors, 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 logins

Tasks land in the inbox

Every 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 execution

Every opening, one dashboard

See 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.

Use cases

Start with openings. Run everything that touches more than one team.

Once your first flow is live, teams find the next one fast. Anything with a sequence, a deadline, and an approval belongs on the canvas.

New site openings

Site intake to grand opening: feasibility, commercials, approvals, fit-out, licenses, hiring, and go-live, per site type.

Remodels and refits

Coordinate design, contractors, and site teams around a closure window that cannot slip.

Finance and capex approvals

Route purchase requests through maker-checker chains with documents and deadlines attached.

Seasonal rollouts

Push campaign changeovers and VM resets to every location by a hard date, with proof of completion.

Vendor onboarding

Collect documents, agreements, and compliance checks from new vendors through external links.

Lease and license renewals

Never miss a critical date. Renewals kick off their own flow with the right owners and lead time.

Why Nodes

Simpler than an automation tool. Deeper than a project tracker.

Teams try generic tools for openings and hit the same walls. Nodes is built for how multi-location brands actually open and run sites.

Spreadsheets + email
  • Dates change silently, no alerts
  • Approvals buried in threads
  • No vendor access or proof
  • Status meetings to find status
Generic PM and automation tools
  • Weeks of setup and admin training
  • Vendors and GCs left outside the tool
  • No work calendars or approval TATs
  • Too complex, teams fall back to Excel
Nodes
  • Live from a template in an afternoon
  • Vendors and approvers act via link, no logins
  • SLAs, delay rules, decline loops built in
  • Self-serve, no training needed
How it works

Your first opening can be running today.

1

Start from a template

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.

2

Connect your people

Add teammates by email and vendors by link. Assignments can change per site while the playbook stays the same.

3

Run it and watch

Hit run for each new site. Tasks fire in order, approvals gate what they should, and your dashboard shows every opening against its date.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

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.

Your next opening, connected.
