A scout’s weekend route through clubs and pitches

What it does

Every Friday: the best-rated football clubs and pitches around your academy, put in the best visiting order for a weekend of scouting from the academy and back, with directions, in a plan by xMap AI emailed to the scout and mapped.

In one sentence: Fridays at 12:00, in Sao Paulo, find soccer clubs, soccer fields and sports clubs in the area, plan the best route to visit them, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

A scout sees more players when the weekend is planned around the map, not the calendar. A ready route makes every hour count.

The time it saves

Fridays at 12:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 5 times a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
