Idox Insights is a cloud-based portal where local authorities can access analytics and dashboards to gain insights relating to data. The platform has been initially created to serve planning and development management departments for officer, manager and departmental analytics.

Unlike other BI solutions, Idox Insights is an out-of-the-box solution ready to connect with your data. The platform will provide meaningful analytics and reports without the need for specific in-house developer skills or BI expertise.

Idox Insights is a fully cloud-based solution and can be accessed from any location via a modern web-browser.

Idox Insights can connect with the data from your existing Idox case management solutions. As part of our development roadmap we will include the option to connect other data sources to the platform.

The Idox Insights development roadmap aims to cater for all areas across public protection and the built environment, with incremental service area releases. Coming next will be analytics for building control departments, expected early 2024.
