About the Product – iSMART
iSMART is a cutting-edge intelligence and analytics platform created especially to give security and law enforcement organizations access to real-time information and the ability to make decisions based on data. iSMART, which was created with the changing demands of public safety in mind, converts unstructured data into insightful intelligence, facilitating quicker and more efficient reactions to new threats.
Fundamentally, iSMART makes sure that the appropriate information is sent to the appropriate individuals at the appropriate moment. The platform adjusts to meet unique data, whether it be field operators needing fast operational reports, criminal analysts revealing hidden trends, or senior leadership formulating long-term strategy.
Through a dynamic and interactive drill-down methodology, iSMART offers a compelling narrative experience that distills intricate information into insights that can be put to use. Police Department may promptly anticipate, identify, prioritize, and manage safety concerns—often before they become more serious problems—by using thorough tactical summaries and strategic overviews.
iSMART contributes significantly to situational awareness, resource allocation, and crime prevention initiatives by providing accurate, real-time intelligence. For contemporary public safety agencies, it is a strategic asset rather than merely a tool.
Vision Behind iSMART
Using data-driven decision-making, contextual analysis, and intelligent automation, iSMART aims to transform public safety management. iSMART encourages a proactive approach to crime prevention, resource management, and operational effectiveness by assisting organizations in converting unstructured data into actionable steps.
The platform is committed to supporting safer communities by enabling agencies to:
- Identify high-risk areas and emerging threats before they escalate.
- Allocate resources more efficiently through real-time alerts.
- Monitor performance metrics and detect operational inefficiencies.
- Implement best practices proven to deliver lasting safety improvements.
Through seamless customization, iSMART is tailored to each organization’s needs and delivered pre-configured for instant deployment, making it a powerful tool in modern security ecosystems.
Features of iSMART
iSMART (Interactive Situational Monitoring Analysis and Response Tool) offers a wide range of advanced features designed to improve crime data analysis and real-time decision-making:
- Real-time crime trend analysis- With spatial and temporal data, the ability to quickly identify and comprehend the dynamics of crime trends in real time while taking both temporal and spatial elements into account.
- Dynamic charts, visual cues, and maps- Through the use of multidimensional displays, charts, maps, and visual cues, which offer insightful context and facilitate comparison analysis in an approachable manner, users can easily analyze data.
- Color-coded alerts – The system continuously feeds critical strategic and tactical information about criminal activity and key performance indicators.
- Customizable dashboard – Users can assess the success of their crime prevention tactics and keep an eye on how well their operations are aligned with recognized problems, patrols, problem-solving initiatives, and community involvement indicators.
- Interactive drill-down navigation – Users are successfully guided in recognizing, comprehending, and resolving a variety of difficulties or possible issues using structured drill-down navigation.
- Support for strategic response planning – To help them comprehend how these components interact and what is happening, where, and when, users can begin with a broad overview of the scenario and then break it up into smaller, more manageable chunks.
- Structured reporting- Users can more easily find the information they require for crucial decisions about deployment, quality-of-life concerns, crime prevention, and resource allocation, thanks to this process’s meaningful context.
- Aoristic Time Span Analysis: For crimes such as Burglary, Theft From Auto (F/A), and Motor Vehicle (MV) Theft—where incidents occur within a known period but the exact hour or day is unknown—iSMART incorporates aoristic analysis. This method calculates the probability of occurrence within specified temporal windows and assigns proportional time-based weights to each incident. Instead of limiting the data to a single time or day, it accurately distributes the incident across all likely intervals, enabling more precise hour-of-day and day-of-week crime trend analysis.
How iSMART Helps Police Departments
iSMART is designed to transform how police departments operate by delivering data-driven insights and improving response effectiveness. With its real-time capabilities and intuitive interface, the system empowers agencies to:
- Monitor ongoing and emerging crime trends through instant alerts and live reports.
- Measure the effectiveness of existing crime prevention strategies.
- Coordinate patrols, community programs, and targeted problem-solving initiatives.
- Make informed, evidence-based decisions regarding deployment and resource management.
- Track progress and observe changes in crime rates over time with clear visual reports.
- Prevent potential criminal activities using predictive analytics and proactive intelligence.
By combining operational oversight with actionable insights, iSMART helps law enforcement agencies stay ahead of threats and maintain safer communities.
It was crucial to transform this idea into a workable, scalable, and intelligent system, as the strong vision and capabilities of iSMART were well-defined. GrapesTech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. was brought in to help with that. Understanding the value of real-time intelligence and data-driven policing in the current security environment, our team worked together with the client to turn this idea into a fully functional platform. Supported by years of expertise in data analytics and custom software development, GrapesTech produced a solution that skillfully combines usability, accuracy, and performance.
Project Challenges
- Integrating legacy and modern crime databases.
- Setting up seamless real-time data filtering and updates.
- Ensuring the system could handle large-scale, high-speed analysis.
- Pull the real-time data from the server.
Our Solutions
- We built a secure and scalable backend using .NET Core, enabling smooth communication between iSMART and the client’s multiple crime databases. This ensured accurate data migration and continuous synchronization between old and new systems.
- A real-time data fetching engine was developed to update system records every few seconds or minutes, providing law enforcement officers and decision-makers with the most current and reliable information at all times.
- The frontend was designed using Angular to ensure a fast, interactive, and user-friendly experience. Its modular and responsive layout supports all levels of users, from senior officers to tactical analysts.
- We also ensured that the system architecture could handle large data volumes without compromising performance, making it capable of real-time analysis and instant alert generation across departments.
- We have also developed a notification regarding the crime, where in any city, there are more than 5 crimes committed, we would be getting an alert notification for it.
