Rain ahead: plan the concrete pours
A concrete pour plan for each site from the rain ahead.
What it does
Every afternoon: the next three days’ rain at each site in your table, the wettest first, with a pour plan note by xMap AI for the site managers.
In one sentence: Every day at 15:00, take your table, get the 3-day weather forecast, sort them by rain_total_mm and keep the top 10, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Rain ruins fresh concrete. Pours planned around it save rework.
Who it is for
Construction & facility services. Contractors, building suppliers and facility managers finding work, watching sites and keeping crews safe. Every use case for construction & facilities

The time it saves
Every day at 15:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 15 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
