Collection visits around closures and rain
Today’s collection visits planned around rain and closures.
What it does
Every morning at 7:00: the road incidents and today’s rain near each collection visit in your table, with a visit order by xMap AI for the field team.
In one sentence: Every day at 07:00, take your table, find road closures, roadworks and other incidents, get the 1-day weather forecast, write a report with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Field visits fail in rain and traffic. A plan around them gets more done.

The time it saves
Every day at 07:00. 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.
