Drew Smith

Evolv KC Regional President

Evolv KC is a boutique hub based in Kansas City, dedicated to supporting the local restaurant community, B2B payment systems, and digital marketing needs. Our team of Kansas City locals understands the unique challenges businesses face here, particularly the lack of local POS support. To address this, we've built a cooperative of POS experts from trusted brands like HRPOS, Order Counter, Aledo, Clover, Petrosoft, Cloud Retailer, and Retail Cloud. With four different terminal lines to choose from, we offer flexible solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of our merchants.

At Evolv KC, we also recognize the disconnect that often exists between payment systems and software providers. Our Kansas City office is uniquely positioned to bridge this gap, ensuring that software vendors and merchants are seamlessly connected. One example of our commitment to innovation is the introduction of our Invoice Path solution, which enhances our suite of services with advanced payment and accounting tools.

Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) love partnering with us because we go above and beyond with our comprehensive training and ISO concierge service. We handle the paperwork and administrative details, so you can focus on what matters most—driving sales and growing your business.

Evolv KC’s roots trace back to 2023 when Drew Smith co-founded Pro1611, a company quickly recognized for its commitment to customer care and cutting-edge technology that helped merchants streamline costs and grow. In 2024, Pro1611 partnered with Evolv, significantly expanding access to resources and expertise. This collaboration has empowered countless Kansas City businesses with the tools and guidance they need to reach their full potential.

Through Evolv KC, merchants gain access to the most versatile payment processing solutions available, allowing them to create tailored plans that fit their unique business needs. We also work closely with VIV’s digital marketing experts, offering businesses strategic support to enhance their online presence. Additionally, we host several weekly local radio shows, providing a platform for businesses to promote their services and take advantage of custom radio ads for highly effective promotional opportunities.

At Evolv KC, we’re driven by the belief that our success is tied to yours. Let’s win together.
