Offer same-day delivery on your own site — at the price you already charge for standard shipping. You keep the margin, the customer, and the data. No warehouse required.
Slow shipping quietly costs you the sale — and pushes repeat buyers to the one marketplace that can deliver fast. Building your own fast-delivery network was never realistic. So the volume leaks to Amazon.
A quarter of shoppers abandon a cart specifically because delivery is too slow.
Almost no independent brand has the physical network same-day requires — until now.
Traditional same-day couriers charge enough per order to erase a small brand's margin.

Nearby customers see a same-day rate you control — priced at parity with your standard shipping, shown only when we can actually deliver it.
Faster delivery converts more carts and brings customers back. Speed is the feature that keeps them buying from you instead of the marketplace.
Every order runs through your checkout, your brand, your data. Node is the infrastructure underneath — never a marketplace between you and your buyer.
No leases, no new hires, no software to build. Install the app, send one pallet, and Node handles placement, packing, couriers, and tracking.
Here's what a typical $40 order actually costs you, all-in, across three ways to fulfill it. Node lands at the price of standard shipping — and unlike Amazon, you keep the customer relationship.
Based on a $40 order. Each added unit costs about $5 more on Amazon and 50¢ at a node. Amazon also keeps the customer relationship; Node does not.
Give us your customer export and we'll run it through our screening model — returning your metro demand index, subscription share, delivery-cost trajectory, and how your catalog would sit on a neighborhood shelf.
Then the launch is a controlled A/B: we route a slice of your local orders through Node and measure the lift in conversion and repeat against a held-out control. You decide from evidence, not a pitch.
Connect Shopify; your catalog and inventory sync automatically.
Ship a single pallet of your top SKUs; the engine places it across nodes.
The rate appears at checkout for covered addresses — you set radius and price.
Send local orders (and subscription rebills) through Node and watch the lift.
Send us your store and your metro. We'll come back with what same-day would look like for your customers — and what it would do to your numbers.
