Incidents in my patrol zones, every hour
Incidents inside your patrol zones every hour, for the supervisor.
What it does
Every hour: road incidents and closures inside your patrol zones, each described by xMap AI for the patrol supervisor (what, where, what to watch), sent on WhatsApp.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, in Johannesburg, find road closures, roadworks and other incidents, see which enter the zone, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Supervisors cannot watch every feed. An hourly note on what happened in their zones tells them where to send a patrol.

The time it saves
Every hour at :00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 15 minutes each time; it runs about 720 times a month, so it saves about 40 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
