Cotton’s BIC: Smarter Insights, Stronger Recovery

Cotton’s Business Intelligence Center: Smarter Insights, Stronger Recovery

What does advanced readiness mean to you? For us at Cotton Global Disaster Solutions (Cotton GDS), it means giving you peace of mind knowing that no matter what disaster strikes, recovery won’t just happen — it will happen faster. Accelerated recovery is what we aim for in our line of work. Disasters don’t take days off, and neither do we.

That’s why we built the Business Intelligence Center (BIC), a powerful hub with 24/7 capabilities and advanced analytics that transforms real-time information into actionable insights, helping businesses stay ahead of disruptions and get back on their feet quickly. Business continuity is one of the critical factors that keep businesses thriving even after unpredictable events.

24/7 Support That Feels Like a Safety Net

Imagine the stress after a hurricane, fire or flood. Now imagine knowing you have a team that’s already monitoring, analyzing and preparing for what’s next, around the clock. That’s the value of Cotton’s BIC.

With 24/7 coverage, our experts anticipate your needs, track our nationwide assets, support your business continuity plan and alert you to developing threats before they spiral out of control. It’s like having an emergency response team on-call every hour of every day, seven days a week.

Turning Data Into Protection Using Advanced Analytics

Cotton BIC isn’t just about numbers and dashboards — we’re also on a mission to protect our clients, their properties and preserve productivity too. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art proprietary tools to analyze risk factors, we transform complex data into simple, actionable steps so that our clients can still attain business continuity amidst disasters. The BIC can help:

Use geo-plotting to pinpoint which of your facilities are most at risk before a storm arrives
Track emergency alerts, road closures and curfews that might affect your operations
Map potential flood zones to anticipate damage before it happens
Monitor everything from social media chatter to weather forecasts to catch risks early

The result of using advanced analytics to take actionable steps in protecting our clients’ properties is greater foresight, fewer disruptions and a recovery process that is fast and seamless during critical times.

Allowing Business Continuity

Too often, businesses wait until disaster strikes to find the cracks in their systems. Cotton’s BIC takes a preventative and preemptive approach that can help you prepare well before that moment arrives.

To ensure business continuity, we work with our clients’ teams to assess facilities, uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen critical systems so they can withstand the unexpected. Even small details — like securing loose outdoor materials or storing an off-site list of key vendors’, employees’ and clients’ contact information — can make a huge difference in protecting your operations.
