74 Evolv Testimonials

“We open our gates 60 minutes before most matches and events. We might open 90 minutes ahead of a few special events. That said, the reality is the majority of fans and guests arrive in the last 15 minutes. We get maybe 15% to 25% of them in the first 45 minutes, and the remainder in a rush right before the match or event begins. We needed a technology that would scale to handle the influx we got at this last minute without sacrificing our security.”

"9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombing certainly shape how we run quality athletic events. Yet, at the same time, we also are in a constant endeavor to improve our home experience. Our objective is for people to come and watch athletic events in person.”

"With Evolv Insights analytics and reporting, we are able to take a much more strategic approach to managing staff.”

“Evolv is a transformational technology that delivers a transformational experience—which is critical for an industry sector like ours where guest experience is not negotiable.”

“Safety is our number one priority from the start each day until we get our students home safely at night. We want our faculty and students to focus on quality teaching and learning.”

“Our patients, family members, and staff need to feel secure because everyone who is entering has gone through the same processes to ensure that no one brings a weapon into one of our facilities that they could use to harm themselves, one of our coworkers, or another patient or family member of a patient."

“The unfortunate prevalence of gun violence, coupled with the fact that more people carry firearms, puts our public at an increased risk of violence. Health care settings are not immune to such threats, and after an incident where a weapon was brought into an Emergency Department, we decided we needed to do something.”

“The lack of security created an environment subconsciously for patients and their families—whether it was in the exam room or waiting room upon their arrival.”

“Individuals who enter our facility have a high priority, especially those in the Emergency Department. It is my responsibility to make sure questions of safety are answered. We have individuals who are able to step in appropriately and intervene in situations where we need to de-escalate patients, family members, and coworkers to diffuse situations before they become a bigger threat.”

“We have a unique situation as we have students of all ages arriving at the school. We have a north and south entrance. The South entrance is a drop-off point for parents and buses and opens at the beginning and end of the school day, whereas the North entrance is open throughout.”

“Patrons have a choice and if they perceive that the hassle and intrusiveness of the security process is too great, they may choose not to attend a performance.”

"I was just blown away with the screening volume we were able to achieve. In a manner of 45 minutes, we processed around 18,000 concertgoers through ticketing and security screening.”

“We’ve screened over 222,000 patients and visitors with Evolv to date. It was mind-boggling to see the first monthly report that we generated with Evolv Insights. I saw the number of weapons we detected, and I thought, ‘Wow! This system is amazing.’”

"We’ve had individuals who have brought weapons into our Emergency Department lobbies and our campuses. This is one of the primary reasons why our administration elected to search for a different security screening approach, seeking a way to stop and deter anyone from bringing weapons into our campus.”

“Over the past four or five years, due to the increase in violence in healthcare, we have received a lot of feedback from our doctors and nurses on the need for tighter security screening. In particular, based on the annual Culture Survey that we conduct with our staff, weapons screening has been a recurring, highly important theme for the past several years. Our doctors, nurses, and staff see what is happening with active shooter incidents, and they want us to ensure those don’t occur in one of our Virtua Health facilities. To address these issues, we needed a solution that would screen everyone coming through the doors to our hospitals.”
