Heat ahead: cold packs for orders to hot cities
A packing note for hot cities: cold packs and insulated boxes.
What it does
Every morning: the hottest cities you ship to in the next three days, and a packing note by xMap AI for the warehouse (cold packs, insulated boxes, which products), posted to Slack.
In one sentence: Every day at 05:30, in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and 2 more, get the 3-day weather forecast, sort them by temp_max and keep the top 4, write a report with xMap AI, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Melted products mean refunds and bad reviews. The warehouse packs right on the hottest days.

The time it saves
Every day at 05:30. Doing the same work by hand takes about 15 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
