The company partners with security integrators, facility managers and government agencies to tailor screening deployments to site-specific requirements. Evolv’s systems have been adopted by professional sports teams, educational institutions and Fortune 500 companies seeking to improve safety without the bottlenecks of traditional screening methods.
