  • Expanded deployments of ShotSpotter, increased adoption of AI-powered tools, and strong momentum in healthcare security following California's AB 2975 mandate.

  • Customer retention improved, with NPS rising to +70, and over 90% satisfaction in key areas.

  • The company continues to invest in AI, product innovation, and new markets such as healthcare and casinos.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
