What it does

Every morning: the 3-day forecast at each of your stores, the ones facing heat or rain, a promotion idea for each from xMap AI, posted to the store channel and emailed.

In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, take your table, get the 3-day weather forecast, keep those where temp_max ≥ 40, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Weather moves what people buy. Store teams get a ready idea for the next three days instead of reacting after the fact.

Who it is for

Retail & franchise expansion. Expansion, real estate and network planning teams deciding where the next store or franchise goes. Every use case for retail & franchise

Best use cases

  • A convenience chain
  • A fashion retailer
  • A pharmacy chain

What each run gives you

  • A Slack post per day
  • An email of promotions

The time it saves

Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 15 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
