Storm drains to clear before the rain
Busy spots ranked for clearing drains before the rain.
What it does
Every afternoon when rain is forecast: markets, malls and busy commercial streets in your city, ranked by xMap AI for clearing storm drains before the rain, sent to crews on WhatsApp.
In one sentence: Every day at 13:00, in Hanoi, find shopping malls, markets and bus stations in the area, get the 2-day weather forecast, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 15, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
