What it does

Every morning: the 2-day forecast at each hub, and when rain or strong wind is expected, a customer notice drafted by xMap AI for the ops team, by email and on Slack.

In one sentence: Every day at 05:30, take your table, get the 2-day weather forecast, keep those where rain (mm) ≥ 5, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you and send message to a channel in Slack.

Why it is useful

Telling customers early about possible delays keeps complaints down. The notice is drafted before the rain.

Who it is for

Logistics, fleet & delivery. Dispatch, fleet and delivery teams who keep goods moving around closures, weather and ports. Every use case for logistics & delivery

  • A parcel delivery company
  • A grocery delivery app
  • A furniture delivery service

  • An email with the notice
  • A Slack post

The time it saves

Every day at 05:30. Doing the same work by hand takes about 20 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 10 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
