CINCINNATI (PRWEB) August 20, 2021 - GigFlex LLC, the industry leader in geo-intelligent scheduling technology, announced today that the Western & Southern (W&S) Open is expanding its deployment of GigFlex at the 2021 ATP Tour Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event.

GigFlex Geo-Intelligent technology enables the tournament command center to track the onsite location of marshal and player security personnel and enables command center staff to quickly address any identified anomalies in tournament site coverage.

GigFlex also provides marshals with a mobile app that enables them to view their daily rotations assignments directly on their Apple or Android based smartphone, receive alerts and notifications, adjust their schedules and communicate directly with command centers via real-time video or text.

Our expanded deployment of GigFlex is consistent with our commitment to ensuring a superior experience and the highest degree of safety to all patrons and players attending our event, said J. Wayne Richmond, Tournament Director of the W&S Open. With more than 20 acres at our venue, we value having this tool to help us monitor the deployment of our teams across the entire grounds at all times.

We are pleased that the GigFlex mobile App will provide our Marshals and Player Security staff with additional capabilities that will enhance their experience and performance, added Dick Clark, Director of Facilities at the W&S Open. With GigFlex, our staff can instantly connect via secure real-time Video-Conferencing with our command center to help assess and effectively respond to any security situation that might arise.

We are pleased to work with the Western & Southern Open again, said Larry Schwartz, CEO, GigFlex. The expanded deployment of GigFlex at the 2021 tournament reinforces our industry-unique value proposition for premiere global sporting events that seek to provide the highest level of player and patron security at their events.
