Road closures in my delivery zones, every hour
Closures inside delivery zones each hour at peak, for dispatch.
What it does
Every hour at peak times: road closures and incidents inside your delivery zones, with a note by xMap AI on which restaurants and areas to slow down, posted to the dispatch channel.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, 11:00–22:00, in Bangkok, find road closures, roadworks and other incidents, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A closed road near a busy restaurant delays every order. Dispatch adjusts before customers complain.
