“Right now, we literally have zero queue space. There is no need for it. Guests purchase a ticket and walk right through the dual lanes of the Express system.”
"With Evolv Insights analytics and reporting, we are able to take a much more strategic approach to managing staff.”
“There was genuine excitement from staff and students reached out to show their gratitude for the decision."
“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.”
"We want our fans to have a great time when they come here. This is one of the reasons we love Evolv—which makes security screening easy and fast without sacrificing security. It is not intrusive like the metal detectors.”
"Evolv is where safety meets experience. You don’t need to compromise one for the other. Evolv enables us to create a special dynamic that facilitates both.”
"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.”
"Of the 900,000 people who work at 450 airports nationwide, ‘many are able to bypass traditional screening requirements that travelers visiting the airports must endure.’ The report goes on to say that ‘there are increasing concerns that insider threats to aviation security are on the rise.’ Threats posed by disgruntled employees are perhaps the most difficult to detect due to knowledge on how to exploit security weaknesses."
"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."
“This dual focus is what sets Evolv apart from other solutions. We have days when multiple and concurrent shows take place. Previously, these days were a heavy lift for the team. But with Evolv, this is no longer the case. We’re no longer known as the ‘bad guys.’”
“We have a tight-knit security community in Pittsburgh and frequently share best practices and input."
"We wanted to move beyond a manual security screening process that required a huge amount of staff time and failed to deliver the experience we wanted to provide guests.”
“That assessment pointed us to the need for a solution that would screen people upon ingress without impeding their entry."
"Since deploying Evolv, the number of metal objects that we’ve detected run into the tens of thousands. We were almost in shock at the number of weapons we found. It was the equivalent of having a Damocles sword hanging over our heads but most of us were unaware of how large the threat was.”
“Workplace violence has become a growing concern over the past decade. During and after the pandemic, we saw a heightening of people’s emotions. Isolation during the pandemic negatively impacted people’s behavior and conduct. Unfortunately, this translated into a rise in violence towards hospital staff.”
