“When some of our patients or visitors to come our Emergency Departments, they may be having the worst day of their life. People’s emotions run high. People do stupid things. Evolv helps us prevent bad things from happening.”
“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 adhere to the Illinois protocol that bans handguns in public buildings. But we never found any since we never checked anyone. Other theaters in the Chicago area had implemented Evolv Express systems and our executive management team had visited those sites and seen the Express in action. Our General Manager had also seen the Express system at a local sports stadium and was impressed with the seamless approach to security screening.”
“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.”
“There was genuine excitement from staff and students reached out to show their gratitude for the decision."
"Our teachers and staff were very happy when we put Evolv in our schools. They know we’re now checking everyone who enters a school, and they feel our campuses are much safer. This enables our teachers to focus on teaching rather than worrying about potential threats coming onto the campuses.”
"I’ve been waiting years for someone to invent a technology where you can just freely walk through the concealed weapons detector without needing to empty out your pockets and take everything out of your bags as part of the screening process.”
“Being involved with MLS’ newest expansion team, St. Louis CITY SC, was really exciting, especially since I grew up playing soccer in St. Louis. Providing a safe, clean and friendly environment for our guests is our first priority."
“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.”
“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.”
"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 had lines of people who showed up before we opened our gates. I overheard one person telling her friends, ‘We’re never going to get our seats. Even if they open up right now, we’re still not going to make it.’ The gates opened and the lines started to move. Ten minutes later, when I was in the lobby, the same woman and her friends passed through security. She came over to me and told me, ‘ I’m very impressed with how you handled this huge crowd.’ I had to smile to myself. As we had Evolv, I knew that we were going to make it work.”
“Several years ago, we determined we needed a different approach and embarked on a journey to find an efficient solution
“When fans come to the ballpark, they come for a lot of different reasons. In addition to games, concerts, or events, they also come for the experience. Everything we do impacts it—food and beverage, ticketing, retail merchandise, and security screening. Ensuring that experience is great is extremely important.”
"The walk-through metal detectors gave everyone the feeling that they were walking into prison. That is the last thing we wanted to convey.”
