Stallion Security to resell EVIM

Stallion Security has been appointed as a value added reseller for the EVIM Visitor Screening Solution by Ideco Biometric Solutions.

EVIM is a mobile scanning solution which reinforces security as a digital visitor register. This device captures visitor data and automatically verifies vehicle, asset and person ID data. Ideco designed and piloted the EVIM solution in anticipation of the POPI act before officially launching the solution to end users and industry service providers in May.

Mark Paynter, business solutions executive at Ideco comments, “EVIM is the edge of a wave on which we were looking for reseller and distribution partner candidates to take the solution to the end user market. Stallion was invited as potential VAR Partner candidates, and the rest is history.”

Alvin Flaum, group technical director at Stallion comments that the EVIM system is a natural fit for the Stallion offering, and also a great value add to Stallion’s existing guarding security services and systems portfolio.

“The Stallion group embraces the amalgamation of conventional guarding with electronic protection and detection solutions,” says Flaum. “We believe that introducing the latest technology to our guarding offering will ensure that we remain firmly ahead as one of the leading providers of guarding solutions. Many guarding companies kick against the latest technology and are not keen to embrace it, as they believe that their manpower revenue base will be impacted. Instead of viewing the advent of technology as a threat to our business, we actively adopt the latest technology as a value added offering wherever possible, which helps ensure our clients’ sites remain safe and protected.”

Paynter comments, “Stallion’s national footprint along with their large and mature guarding client portfolio, made them a superb fit for the EVIM solution. They instantly recognised the new industry opportunity and decided that they wanted to play a part of this industry transformation.

“When the EVIM solution was officially launched, the Stallion directorate showed a keen interest in understanding and adopting EVIM. Stallion showed no hesitation at all in committing to a binding partnership which obliges them to up-skill their support and sales staff in terms of the EVIM solution to ensure that they answer all first line end user enquiries and support requests.”

Flaum adds, “We are thrilled that Stallion’s partnership application has been approved and also about the additional cutting-edge solution that Stallion has harnessed as its own product offering. We are keenly aware of the implications that the POPI act will soon have on the traditional visitor management process, and we believe that we are now correctly positioned to offer our clients a solution which takes care of their POPI compliancy within their visitor screening process flow.”
