Supermarkets to stock before a holiday season
The busiest big stores to stock before a holiday, with a note for each.
What it does
A month before a holiday: the busiest supermarkets and hypermarkets in your cities, each with a stocking note by xMap AI for the key account team, sent to Slack.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, find supermarkets and hypermarkets in the area, sort them by reviews and keep the top 20, 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
Holiday weeks make the year for many brands. Extra stock and space in the busiest stores is where it is won.
Who it is for
FMCG & distribution field sales. Distributors and consumer brands whose reps cover outlets: new shops, routes, channels and stock. Every use case for fmcg & distribution

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 1 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
