Road closures around my key suppliers
Closures around key suppliers each morning, for procurement.
What it does
Every weekday at 6:00: road closures and roadworks around each key supplier in your table, with a note by xMap AI for procurement on which deliveries may be late.
In one sentence: Mon–Fri at 06:00, take your table, find road closures and roadworks, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A late delivery stops a line. Procurement knows which suppliers may be late before they call.
Who it is for
Manufacturing & industrial supply. Manufacturers, industrial distributors and plant teams finding distributors, suppliers and workers, and keeping plants running. Every use case for manufacturing & industrial
Best use cases

The time it saves
Mon–Fri at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 20 minutes each time; it runs about 22 times a month, so it saves about 7 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 5 blocks.
