Transformative power of advanced analytics and partner integrations
The latest addition to MLSE’s suite of technology from 24/7 Software is the Advanced Analytics module. This powerful tool provides real-time data-driven insights, helping MLSE anticipate and respond to trends during events.
Kaustubh Kapoor, manager of analytics at MLSE, shared the impact of this comprehensive approach. He said: “We’ve had great feedback from our security operations stakeholders, who are excited to have dashboards in our new Integrated Operations Centre to make real-time decisions.
“We created two in-event dashboards to measure security/medical incidents and their response times as well as overall venue operations. These are the two biggest points for us in providing an exceptional fan experience. Overall, 24/7 Software’s Advanced Analytics product helps us to maximise the visibility for the generated visualisations.”
MLSE has also adopted 24/7 Software Partner integrations to help deliver further automation across their venue operations by integrating ticketing data to enhance investigative reporting in their Incident Management System. These integrations help bring unprecedented automation and allow them to better connect with their fans.
