Exciting news for small businesses! Today, we are thrilled to introduce our new Unified Communications (UC) product, Grasshopper Connect. This innovative application consolidates all forms of business communication into one convenient inbox, allowing small businesses to establish a professional identity with a dedicated business phone number on their existing mobile phones.
Building upon the success of our standard Grasshopper service, Grasshopper Connect integrates a virtual business phone system for small businesses with email, creating a seamless business workflow. With Grasshopper Connect, customers receive a dedicated business phone number linked to a user-friendly application that aggregates all their business contacts and communications — texts, calls, voicemails, and emails — into a unified platform. This streamlined experience enables users to concentrate on their work without navigating through multiple communication channels and threads.
Grasshopper Connect also features a cohesive timeline view of every conversation, whether it occurred over a call, text, or email with a single contact. This functionality aids small business owners in easily picking up where they left off, ensuring they are well-prepared for any client interaction.
“Grasshopper has always offered small business owners the flexibility to stay connected while working in their preferred manner, without the need for additional technology or hardware. Our focus is on addressing our customers’ key challenges, and in today’s modern workforce, this means simplifying the noise and disruptions so business owners can enhance their productivity,” said Mark Strassman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Unified Communications and Collaboration at LogMeIn. “Grasshopper Connect was designed to save our customers’ valuable time by segregating their work and personal life with a consolidated inbox for all business communications. The user-friendly inbox organizes every incoming and outgoing communication — texts, voicemails, or emails— making it easy to access and manage in a single view. This empowers business owners to be more responsive, efficient, and successful.”
