A Grasshopper can improve your business?

Is there anything sexy about a time card system? Nah. It's not the most interesting topic in the world, but you know what? Using something in a new way that makes your life and your business easier is definitely worth a mention.

This is where Grasshopper comes in. They're a virtual phone system company.

Toll free or local numbers, unlimited extensions, advanced call features, e-mail notification, voicemail transcription: they offer a great service, and they're affordable. They're working out great for us.

On Grasshopper's blog, they featured a janitorial service company called 360clean. This company used their service in an interesting way.

Since this phone service logs the time and number of the caller, 360clean created a specific extension, via Grasshopper, which would serve as the "employee time center". 

360clean employees call from the client's number to clock in, then again to clock out. This makes the task easy to do, and even easier to manage.

Congrats to the folks at 360clean for using their service in an interesting, innovative way, and thanks to Grasshopper for featuring this company. If we come up with a use of Grasshopper services which solves an interesting problem, we'll let you know.

Did this get your creative problem-solving juices flowing?
