A monthly brief on your store network
One monthly brief on your store network from everything your AI employees found.
What it does
On the first of every month: a Market analyst reads what your other AI employees found in the last 30 days (rivals opening near your stores, openings and closures by city, strong fits) and writes one brief with the figures, as a PDF by email and in your Team inbox.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, read what your other AI employees found this month, write a report with xMap AI, then make a PDF report and email it and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Each employee watches its own corner. Once a month the network director reads one page with the figures: rivals near the stores, openings and closures by city.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 5 blocks.
