Testimonials
“It depends on traffic but it takes us about a minute or less to get through the gate and we’re on our way. Our employees are really pleased with it. It’s certainly saved us money. We have to pay our employees from the time they get to the gate. So, if they spend 30 to 45 minutes waiting in line instead of getting to the job site, we lose money. It pays for itself; there is no doubt about that!”
-Bill Tuten, Berwick Electric
“The word from the field is its absolutely much quicker and we should have done it much sooner. We used to have to get a business pass which is only good for three months and had to be renewed. Renewal could take up to an hour or an hour and a half out of our day, depending on the lines. With the business pass we could only get into a couple gates, not the front gate. Most of our work is near the front gate so that fact alone was worth signing up. It’s saved us a lot of time everyday in that respect! It’s much more efficient!
– Patrick Carmichael, Project Manager, Surecoat, Inc.

"RAPIDGate
is having a very positive impact on our bottom line. Since we make
daily trips on post, we're saving time and bypassing the long waits and
inspections at the commercial gates. We estimate saving thousands of
hours, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars per year thanks to RAPIDGate."
- Denis Unkur, Skookum Sanitation, Inc.
"Having RAPIDGate
sure beats waiting at the gates or the Visitor Center for hours at a
time. We are very satisfied with the program and our improved access."
- Mike Kelly, Pfizer Regional Coordinator
"Before we signed up for RAPIDGate, service routes with a stop on base were unproductive for half the day. With the time we save using RAPIDGate,
our crews are now able to make 3-4 additional calls per day on the same
route. That translates into hundreds of dollars daily."
- Delivery Company Representative
"Before we got into the RAPIDGate
Program, we had to wait in line at the Commercial Vehicle Inspection
Point (CVIP) with everyone else; now our vehicles have access to
multiple gates at the facility, and we cut hours off every visit. For
us, that translates into thousands of dollars every week."
- Harold LeMay, General Contractor
"When
facility security was tightened, our drivers spent so much time in
lines, it took all the profit out of doing business on the facility. RAPIDGate literally saved our account with the military. It's made all the difference."
