Trusted by teams running the world’s largest & most visible events

Key challenges

Visitor management challenges venues face every event day

High-volume events introduce access challenges that standard stadium security software wasn’t built to handle—from gate-level credentialing to league compliance requirements.

X

Managing large crowds without slowing entry

Thousands of guests arriving at once create bottlenecks at check-in. This backup creates a poor guest experience and pulls security’s focus away from their core tasks.

X

Coordinating vendors & staff

Events involve dozens of vendors, contractors, and temporary staff—each with different access levels, arrival times, and credentialing requirements. Managing that manually leaves room for error.

X

Security risks scale with the crowd

Live events mean crowded venues, tight timelines, and a lot of moving parts. Without clear visibility into who’s inside and where, it’s harder to respond quickly to an unauthorized access attempt, emergency, or a security threat.

X

Manual processes can’t keep up

Paper-based or disconnected credentialing systems slow down entry, increase the risk of fraud, and make it nearly impossible to maintain accurate records of who accessed what areas and when.

X

Compliance requirements vary

Venues and stadiums operate under strict requirements: NDAs for staff, league-mandated credentialing protocols, and regulatory obligations that vary by event type. Inconsistent processes put compliance at risk.

Core capabilities

Everything venues need to manage access on event day

Envoy gives venue and event operations teams the tools to move people through quickly, keep credentials organized, and maintain a live view of who’s onsite—without the operational chaos.

Fast check-in for high-volume entry

Envoy handles large guest volumes without creating a gridlock at the gate. Digital check-in flows are designed to move people through quickly, reducing wait times and keeping entry points running smoothly—even at peak arrival windows.

Pre-registration for vendors and staff

Vendors, contractors, and event staff can be registered and credentialed before they arrive onsite. That means fewer delays at entry, fewer manual lookups, and a faster start to the event day.

Secure credentialing & badge management

Issue, track, and manage credentials for every access tier: guests, vendors, staff, and VIPs. Badges can be configured to reflect access levels, ensuring the right people access the right areas, while helping staff quickly verify who belongs.

Live visibility into who’s onsite

Get a real-time picture of everyone inside your venue—across gates, zones, and access points. When something happens, your team knows exactly who’s where and can act without delay.

Explore how event and venue teams use visitor management for stadiums, concert halls, and large-scale venues to solve real operational challenges—from the moment gates open to the final headcount.

Event day guest check-in

On event day, speed is everything. Operations teams use Envoy to move thousands of guests through entry points quickly, without sacrificing the accuracy or record-keeping that security requires.

2

Vendor & crew access

Vendors and crew arrive early, move through restricted areas, and often need different access at different times. Event teams use Envoy to pre-register everyone in advance, assign the right level of access, and maintain a clear record of who came onsite—without chasing down paperwork.

VIP and guest experience management

High-profile guests and VIPs expect a frictionless arrival. No lines, confusion, or waiting. Envoy lets hospitality and security teams coordinate in advance so the right people are notified, the right access is ready, and every VIP arrives to a seamless experience.

Security and incident response

When something happens during a live event, response time matters. Security teams use Envoy to instantly see who’s onsite across the venue and whether they’re authorized—turning what used to be a manual scramble into a fast, informed response.
