Predictive Views for Control Rooms: Using iBI’s Trend Analysis for Missed Rounds and Hotspot Incidents

In a fast-paced environment, data is at the core of decision-making. iBI is positioned to help organisations make informed decisions, streamline operations, and stay ahead of changing conditions.

For control rooms, the advantage of predictive views is simple: instead of only seeing what has already happened, trend analysis helps decision-makers anticipate what may be coming next by identifying patterns and risks earlier.

iBI’s dashboard integrates with all Instacom PTX products and consolidates data into a single, easy-to-use platform, giving teams a holistic view of performance in one place.
For a control room, that consolidation is foundational.

When information is centralised, teams can:
- View and analyse Instacom data in real time
- Track performance metrics and KPIs consistently
- Combine real-time data from various departments and operations for more comprehensive analysis

This is the operational base that makes trend analysis meaningful, because it is applied to a fuller picture rather than isolated reports.

iBI is built to do more than show what is happening right now. It is also designed to help anticipate what is coming through advanced predictive analytics that identify trends and patterns.

The dashboard is described as enabling organisations to:
- Predict future performance and identify growth opportunities
- Analyse trends and potential risks
- Make proactive business decisions

In control room terms, this is where predictive views become practical. When trend detection is applied to operational activity, it can help leadership recognise patterns in performance and risk indicators over time, including patterns that may relate to missed rounds and recurring incident activity.

No two operations are alike, and iBI highlights that dashboards should not be either. iBI supports customised dashboards and reports that can be tailored to unique business needs, allowing teams to visualise the KPIs and metrics that matter most to stakeholders.

iBI also supports:
? Designing personalised dashboards to suit goals
? Scheduling automated reports and sharing them across the organisation

For a control room, the value is that predictive views can be presented in a way that aligns to how the team operates: what needs attention now, what is trending, and what risk signals require escalation.

Control rooms cannot afford yesterday’s data. iBI emphasises real-time data processing and up-to-the-minute information to monitor operations and react swiftly to changing conditions.

This matters because trend analysis becomes far more effective when the underlying data is current. Real-time updates also support continuous situational awareness, which is essential when teams must shift from monitoring to action quickly.

iBI sets out a structured implementation process designed to be smooth and efficient, helping teams harness the platform quickly.

The process includes:
1. Consultation and requirement analysis (dashboards, reports, timelines defined)
2. Quotation and agreement (custom quote, then development begins)
3. Development and first iteration (first version delivered for feedback)
4. Implementation and training (final setup, plus training sessions)
5. Ongoing support and adjustments (change requests and further customisation as needs evolve)

This matters for control rooms because predictive views work best when dashboards and reporting are aligned to real workflows, terminology, and operational priorities.

iBI directly emphasises that accuracy is critical, and it includes guidelines aimed at ensuring data integrity in checklists and input data used in dashboards.

Examples of iBI’s clean-data practices include:
- Avoid special characters in checklist names
- Ensure questions in checklists are uniquely named
- Ask for pure numeric input for values (and let iBI add units where needed)
- Avoid routed checklists to minimise inconsistencies

For trend analysis in a control room context, this is non-negotiable: unreliable inputs create unreliable trends, and unreliable trends create poor decisions.

iBI summarises key features that underpin predictive views and operational reporting:
- Multiple integrations across Instacom products
- Customisable visualisations and dashboards
- Predictive analytics to forecast future trends
- Automated reporting for stakeholders
- Real-time updates for immediate decision-making
- Mobile-friendly access, plus secure and scalable design

Together, these capabilities support a control room model where reporting is not only descriptive (what happened) but also increasingly predictive (what the trends suggest might happen next).

If your control room needs clearer operational visibility, trend detection, and real-time reporting built around your workflow, iBI is designed to consolidate Instacom data, deliver predictive insights, and support proactive decision-making at scale.
