What it does
Every week: warehouses and factories in your city with a phone or website, a satellite picture of each roof, rated for solar by xMap AI, the operations or facilities manager from Apollo, into HubSpot and emailed.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Sydney, find warehouses and manufacturers in the area, get satellite pictures, score and rank them with xMap AI, keep those where fit score ≥ 60, find the Owner, Operations Manager and Facilities Manager with Apollo, then create contact in HubSpot and email the list to you.
