Closures near substations for field crews
Closures near substations every morning, for crews.
What it does
Every morning at 6:00: road incidents within 2 km of each substation in your table, with a route note by xMap AI for the field crews.
In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, take your table, find road closures, roadworks and other incidents, write a report with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Crews lose time on closed roads during outages. The way in is planned before they leave.
