Where my rival brand’s shops are opening

What it does

Every week: new branches of a rival’s branded stores in your cities, each with the nearest of your own outlets and a note by xMap AI for the area manager.

In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Istanbul, find convenience stores and supermarkets in the area, keep only new ones, count the grocery stores and convenience stores within 1 km of each, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you.

Why it is useful

A new rival store next to your outlets takes their sales. Knowing early lets the team respond.

The time it saves

Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
