Where to open next
Areas of your city scored for a new branch, every week, on a map.
What it does
Every week: score areas of your city for a new branch from ratings, reviews and competition, on a map.
In one sentence: Mondays at 07:00, in Mexico City, find cafés, score and rank them with xMap AI, then show them on a map and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Expansion decisions start with a shortlist. This flow keeps one up to date from ratings, number of reviews and competition.
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 cafe chain picking the next district
- A clinic group planning branches
- A gym chain mapping white space
What each run gives you
- A map coloured by score
The time it saves
Mondays at 07:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
