Flood control
The challenge. Rina runs operations for the drainage agency in Jakarta, with seventy pump stations along the rivers and canals. In the rainy season, storms build in the afternoon. Crews are called out once the streets are already under water, and some stations sit unmanned for the first hour. That hour floods homes.
The flow. With xMap Flows, Rina built Monsoon. Every morning at four, for each of seventy pump stations, Monsoon reads today’s rain forecast, keeps the stations where heavy rain is coming, puts the heaviest first, hands them to the crew call out, and marks them on today’s map.
The result. At four this morning, Monsoon saw heavy rain coming for twelve stations in the north. Their crews were called out and in place by noon. When the storm broke at three, every pump was already running. Rina stopped chasing the rain. Now her crews wait for it.

Port authority
The challenge. Yannis is a duty officer at the port authority of Piraeus, the sea gate of Athens. Undersea cables carry power to the islands across a stretch where no ship may anchor. Waiting ships drift in at night anyway. One dragged anchor last winter cut an island’s power for four days, and nobody saw it happen.
The flow. With xMap Flows, Yannis built Sentry. Every five minutes, across the waters off Piraeus, Sentry listens for every ship, spots any that entered the cable zone, keeps the ones slowing down to anchor, tells the patrol boat, and marks them on the duty map.
The result. Last Thursday at two in the morning, a tanker slowed inside the zone. Sentry warned the patrol boat within five minutes, and the ship moved off before its anchor touched the seabed. Yannis cannot watch every ship. Now he does not have to.

Local government
The challenge. Amelia runs resident services for the council in Edinburgh. Her contact centre takes three thousand calls a week. Most ask the same three things: what are these roadworks on my street, when are my bins collected, where is the nearest recycling centre. Callers wait twenty minutes for a ten second answer.
The flow. With xMap Flows, Amelia built Osprey. When a resident writes on the council website, Osprey works out what they need, looks up roadworks on their street, checks their bin day, finds the nearest recycling centre, and answers in plain words, right away.
The result. In its first month, Osprey answered eleven thousand questions, day and night. Calls dropped by a third, and the waiting time fell to four minutes for the people who really need a person. Amelia’s team still answers residents. Just the ones who need a human.
