Weekly disruption watch at logistics hubs
Weather and road closures at logistics hubs, every week.
What it does
Every Monday: the week’s weather and the road closures around the logistics hubs you follow, joined by xMap AI into a short risk note for supply chain clients.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Rotterdam, Singapore and Los Angeles, get the 7-day weather forecast, find road closures, roadworks and other incidents, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Freight slows when storms and closures hit a hub. A weekly note lets clients plan before it happens.
Who it is for
Investors, analysts & consultants. Investors, analysts and consultants who need location numbers they can trust, on a schedule. Every use case for investors & consultants
Best use cases

What each run gives you
- An email
The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 6 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
