What it does

Before each semester ends: universities in your city with the students living around them, ranked by xMap AI for a student moving and storage campaign, emailed with a map.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Boston, find universities and colleges in the area, count who lives around, work out new fields, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 10, then show them on a map and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Semester end brings thousands of small moves at once. Campaigns near the right campuses catch them.

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: 9 blocks.
