Wei Ling leads retail marketing for a sneaker brand in Singapore. Every month she opens a pop-up store for a new drop. Choosing the spot is a gamble. Her team walks the malls, takes photos, and argues for a week. The last pop-up sat in a quiet corner of a brand new mall, and half the stock went back to the warehouse. With xMap Flows, Wei Ling built Watchtower. On the first Monday of every month, from Orchard Road to Tampines, Watchtower finds the malls and food halls, keeps the ones with a high traffic score where people stay longest, picks the top five, explains why each one fits the drop, and turns it all into slides for the team. This month, Watchtower ranks five spots, with Bugis on top: people there stay well over an hour. The team agrees in one meeting instead of five. The pop-up sells out in nine days, a week faster than the last one. Wei Ling’s team stopped arguing about corners. Now they argue about restocking.
