Read on EIN Presswire
[Salt Late City, Utah] – June 23, 2025 — Today, GuardIQ, a leading provider of operational intelligence for venues, announced its official rebrand to SwitchBase—marking a strategic evolution from a safety-focused platform to a comprehensive solution for venue operations, security, and guest experience.
SwitchBase is built to meet the complex, real-time demands of modern venues—providing a single, intuitive platform that empowers every team to coordinate, respond, and deliver exceptional service across every event.
"The name SwitchBase reflects our expanded mission—to give venue teams unmatched versatility, real-time visibility, and simplicity across all aspects of their operations," said Scott Ahlstrom, CEO and Co-founder. "We're proud of our roots in venue safety, but our customers have made it clear: they wanted one system to power everything from patrols and guest complaints to lost & found and visitor management. That's what SwitchBase delivers."
Originally launched as GuardIQ to support event safety and security teams, the platform quickly grew in adoption across broader venue operations—from incident response and staffing coordination to guest experience and real-time reporting.
