“Businesses want to maintain a professional image that can flex with their needs but also avoid significant investment,” said Michelle Winnett, VP of Partnerships at Ruby. “With LogMeIn’s leadership in mobile communication tools, our customers can take advantage of Grasshopper’s VoIP solution and be able to work from anywhere, all while knowing Ruby is delivering a consistent, compassionate call experience.”

“Having a real person answer our call overflow has changed the game,” said joint customer, Melissa Northey of Phinney Ridge Painting. “We receive simple and accurate notifications; Ruby was quick to set up and seamlessly integrates with our Grasshopper account. The best part, we no longer have endless voicemails to return!”
