The Struggle with Previous Solutions

‍

Before adopting VXT, Johnstone and Reimer Lawyers relied on Microsoft Teams for their calls. This setup presented numerous challenges, including dropped calls, issues with call transfers, and frequent call freezing. These problems not only caused inconvenience but also affected the quality of their service and client satisfaction. With the firm's expanding client base and increasing call volume, which could involve a receptionist answering up to 150 calls a day, a more reliable solution was necessary.

‍

Joshua Reimer, Managing Director recalls, "We were having all types of troubles with Microsoft Teams. Calls were dropping, calls weren't transferring through, calls were freezing, all types of issues for us."

‍

A Game-Changer for Call Reliability

‍

Johnstone and Reimer Lawyers set a primary goal to achieve greater call reliability. Since their transition to VXT, the remarkable improvement they've experienced has been nothing short of a game-changer.

‍

"The team now enjoys stable, uninterrupted calls, which translates to a better experience for our clients. Getting that reliability has been so awesome," Joshua Reimer, Managing Director of the firm, shared.

‍

Reliable call quality enabled the team to confidently make calls without fearing that they would drop out halfway through. This newfound dependability has not just boosted the team's morale, but also significantly enhanced client trust and satisfaction.

A Boost in Efficiency by integrating with Actionstep

Amanda, a receptionist at Johnstone and Reimer Lawyers, handles up to 150 calls per day. With VXT, her workload has become significantly simpler. The intuitive interface and robust features of VXT have streamlined her daily tasks, allowing her to manage high call volumes with ease and efficiency.

‍

One standout feature for the firm is VXT's integration with their practice management system, Actionstep. This integration has been invaluable in capturing billable time more efficiently. At the end of each call, a suggested matter pops up, allowing staff to click a button and automatically record the time to the appropriate file. This seamless integration has also eliminated the need for manual note-taking, which was previously a labor-intensive task.

‍

"Our experience with VXT has been great. The integration with Actionstep helps us catch so much more billable time because at the end of the call we can click a button and it automatically records your time back to the file," explains the Joshua. “This automation has not only saved time but also improved billing accuracy, ensuring that no billable minute is overlooked”.
