Tower field visits around weather and closures
A daily visit plan for every tower around closures and weather, sent to your work order system.
What it does
Every morning: road closures within 3 km of each tower site and the weather there, a visit plan by xMap AI, sent to your work order system, saved to a sheet and emailed.
In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, take your table, find road closures and roadworks, get the 2-day weather forecast, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send a request in HTTP, add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Field teams lose trips to blocked roads and rain. A plan per tower, sent straight into work orders, keeps them climbing.

The time it saves
Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 23 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
