Crew Callout & Mass Notification Platform

When services go down,
every second counts.

I-DE-A gives the organizations people depend on — utilities, telecoms, municipalities, emergency services, healthcare, and campuses — one platform to rapidly assemble crews, broadcast to the people who need to know, map what's happening, and analyze performance. From the first alert to full resolution.

How It Works

From alert to restored — in one platform.

Three steps. No binders, no phone tag, no guesswork.

Disruption detected

An outage or service failure hits. The supervisor on site sizes up the job and calls in who and what they need — and your control room operator opens I-DE-A to launch the callout, one screen for everything that follows.

Crew assembled, customers notified

I-DE-A calls qualified staff in order, sends job details automatically so workers can decide without calling back, and broadcasts updates to customers — all at the same time.

Restored and documented

Service is restored. Every call, timestamp, and response is logged automatically — ready for reporting, union review, or regulatory compliance in seconds.

The Problem
  • Control room operators hand-dial 20–30 person lists per skill, reading from binders with sticky-note position markers
  • Every call is a negotiation — workers need to know the job type, duration, and location before deciding, turning a 10-second yes/no into a 3-minute conversation
  • Customers flood your call centre because they can't find any information about what's happening or when it'll be fixed
  • Handwritten logs and Excel sheets create liability the moment a union member disputes their call-down position
  • No geographic picture of which zones are hit, which have been notified, or how quickly you're restoring
What the manual way costs you

Crew Builder

Put the binder down. Your crew assembles itself.

I-DE-A replaces the call list, the sticky notes, and the 45-minute manual process with automated callouts that reach the right staff — in the right order — in minutes. Your control room watches it happen in real time instead of driving it.

  • Automated calls work through each skill list in order — no dialing, no binder-flipping required
  • Job details included in every notification — type of work, estimated duration, and location — so workers can make an informed decision without calling back
  • Tracks Training, MTO, Rest Timeout, Sick Leave, and Vacation — availability is always current
  • Real-time dashboard shows accepted, declined, and no-response as they happen
  • Every call timestamped to the second — the sticky note becomes a tamper-proof log
  • Multi-skill events run simultaneously — assemble Electricians, PCT, and Controllers at the same time
