ShowingTime Cuts Service Calls by 30-50% With LogMeIn Rescue 3am Labs Streamlines Remote Support for Nationwide Real Estate Software Maker
WOBURN, MA, October 19, 2005 -- 3am Labs today announced that ShowingTime, a Chicago-based provider of buyer lead generation, scheduling and call coordination software to the real estate industry, has selected 3am Labs' LogMeIn Rescue, a web-based remote helpdesk platform, to provide support to more than 3,000 real estate offices nationwide.
LogMeIn Rescue enables secure control of a remote computer for rapid incident resolution without pre-installing software. Helpdesk support staff can handle more incidents more quickly -- reducing phone-assisted or on-site support costs while ensuring high service levels.
ShowingTime has capitalized on the expanding role of the Internet in the real estate industry by creating a patent-pending, industry-first, web-based real estate lead capture, calendaring, and notification engine. ShowingTime's IT staff turned to LogMeIn Rescue for "hands on" support of its real estate customers to push updates of the software, troubleshoot and debug problems that would usually be handled over the phone (https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/HelpDesk/Pdfs/rescue_showingtime.pdf).
"In the few short months we have used LogMeIn Rescue, we already see a reduction in our phone time on service calls by 30-50 percent, allowing us to assist more customers in the same amount of time," said Bill Kellogg, VP of customer service for ShowingTime. "We use it on two-thirds of our support calls because it's just plain easier to remote control a computer than walking a user through steps over the phone."
"From the moment LogMeIn Rescue was launched, we knew we had hit a nerve with helpdesk staffs," Michael Simon, CEO of 3am Labs. "No other service matches the reliability, ease of use and ROI that Rescue offers."
About LogMeIn Rescue
Sessions are initiated, either by end users or as directed by support personnel, through a website. A small applet is downloaded to the end user's system that enables temporary remote access. The entire remote support process is permission based, and an end user must explicitly grant permission for support personnel to remotely access his PC.
Once connected, LogMeIn Rescue provides a comprehensive view of system information, including running services and processes, installed applications, and recent system events, so IT staff can easily spot-check system health and status. A robust set of incident resolution tools provide all the resources needed to address end user issues quickly, including Chat, Desktop Viewing, Remote Control, and File Transfer. Session recording capabilities provide audit trails for legislative compliance or training purposes, and History and Notes recordings tie incidents to specific machines, delivering a deeper understanding of past issues that may influence the current support session. An intuitive, tabbed user interface enables support technicians to manage up to ten active support and chat sessions in a single window.
