The companion application to Evolv Express®, MyEvolv provides mobile access to Evolv Insights™ physical security analytics, Evolv global support and service documentation, and additional Evolv Express system functions, like proactive notifications and remote scanner access and management. With access to Evolv Insights in the MyEvolv mobile application, venue security and operational leaders can learn: - Visitor flow rates and alarm rates at entrances across a venue, down to five-minute intervals - What types of threats alarm the system (when Alert Tagging on the Evolv Express tablet is utilized) - How these KPIs and threat types differ across different event types at a venue - How alarm rates would have been affected if an alternate sensitivity setting had been used With these metrics on-hand in one interactive, mobile-equipped, and streamlined environment, venue security and operations teams can make data-driven decisions to strike the best balance of guest experience and physical security. They can more accurately deploy staff based on visitor flow and alarm rates, redirect traffic to eliminate crowding, and better prepare teams for the exact types of threat and benign items typically encountered at a venue. The ability to investigate past trends and interrogate similar, previous event types for multi-event venues helps leadership improve efficiency and resource use across physical security, guest services, concessions, retail, and other critical teams.
