Sampling day: the busiest spots and the weather
The busiest spots for a sampling day, with the forecast.
What it does
Two days before a sampling day: parks, malls and stations in your city, with the forecast for each, ranked by xMap AI for street sampling, sent to the promo team.
In one sentence: Every day at 10:00, in Berlin, find parks, shopping malls and train stations in the area, get the 3-day weather forecast, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 10, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Sampling in the rain wastes the day. Busy, dry spots make it count.
Who it is for
Marketing & agencies. Agencies and marketing teams looking for clients, targeting areas and watching reputations. Every use case for marketing & agencies
Best use cases

- A WhatsApp message
The time it saves
Every day at 10:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 30 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
