74 Evolv Testimonials

“Several years ago, we determined we needed a different approach and embarked on a journey to find an efficient solution

"Our layers of security all contribute to safe learning and athletic environments. For example, we require and check IDs for all students in addition to having them pass through the Express lane.”

“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.”

“We started off wanting to address customer service, but we ended up scratching that and went directly to being fan obsessed. When Evolv appeared on our radar, it fell right in line with what we were trying to do from the standpoint of creating a fan obsessed environment.”

“I was nervous not only about getting the machines stood up, but how we were going to get the security staff trained on them at the same time. But the whole process was flawless."

“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.”

"We are committed to fostering a learning environment where our students feel safe and respected. We proactively pursued the GiveEvolv program on the premise that it would serve as a key enabler of this mission."

"The training of our security staff went quite smoothly. The Evolv team trained us before the students started arriving, and they worked alongside us during the screening process.”

“We were in the security ingress area when the National Anthem played. Normally with manual screening, we would still have lines of fans trying to get into the park. But when I looked up after the National Anthem was finished, there were no lines. I knew then that we had made the right decision.”

“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.”

“We wanted the ingress experience for fans to be efficient and for them to have a great time. They should come to a game and not worry about the ingress process at all. We want them to enjoy everything; it’s not simply the ballgame but the entire experience.”

“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.”

“When we evaluated different options, we kept coming back to the fact that Evolv is used at some of the largest sports stadiums and most prestigious performing arts centers in the country. If it keeps their environments safe and scales to handle the volumes of guests they experience, then it is good enough for us.”

"For all three of our houses, we often see a push of almost 1,000 patrons during this 15-minute window. With the magnetometers and hand-held wands, this produced a lot of anxiety for security staff. But with the Express systems, no ingress queues form as patrons are able to walk through the screening lanes side by side."
