Fair franchise territories for a city

What it does

Every month: who lives in every block of your city, the 120 busiest blocks shared out into six compact franchise territories of about the same size, with a plan for each by xMap AI, emailed with a map.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Sydney, count who lives around, sort them by population and keep the top 120, share them between 6 reps by area, write a report with xMap AI, then show them on a map and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Franchisees argue about territories when the lines are drawn by hand. This flow draws compact areas of the same size from where people live, with a note on each, so every franchise starts on fair ground.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 180 minutes each time, so it saves about 12 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
