CallSprout Deploys White Label Bria Softphones and Hosted Stretto Platform from CounterPath to Provide Superior Experience for SMB Customers

Vancouver, BC, Canada — March 07, 2019

CounterPath Corporation (NASDAQ: CPAH) (TSX: PATH) (the “Company” or “CounterPath”), a global provider of award-winning Unified Communications solutions for enterprises and service providers, today announced CallSprout, a Florida-based VoIP service and equipment provider to small and medium-sized business and call centers, selected CounterPath to provide a custom, white label Bria® softphone solution to solve quality and usability issues with their existing softphone clients, and add differentiated services using the CounterPath Stretto™ Platform.

During a migration to a new PBX platform, CallSprout, recognized a need to replace its existing desktop and mobile softphones that were, due to varied interfaces between desktop and mobile applications and a lack of modern UC features, providing inconsistent call quality and a disjointed, less than optimal user experience. After evaluating multiple softphone solution providers, CallSprout selected CounterPath based on its reputation as a market leader with robust, high-quality solutions and the ability to customize solutions.

“We pride ourselves on delivering top of the line services and solutions, and our existing softphones just weren’t cutting it,” said Eric Bucher, CEO of CallSprout. “We needed a solution that would be dependable and easy to manage and provide a consistent user experience. CounterPath delivered it all.”

CounterPath’s solution for CallSprout includes customized white-labeled mobile and desktop applications, branded with CallSprout logo and colors, with a consistent interface across platforms for better usability. CallSprout is also leveraging the Stretto Platform to streamline and automate deployment to customers and enhance provisioning and management. Complementing its commitment to provide communication tools that make running a business easier, the VoIP provider can, with Stretto, send customers welcome emails and include helpful “How To” videos to get them up and running quickly. Further, the softphone clients automatically configure themselves when users log in. Additionally, Stretto allows CallSprout to add new, differentiating services such as messaging, collaboration, and virtual meeting rooms.

“The CounterPath solution gives us the ability to transition to a carrier-grade softphone solution, while still being commercially viable for our business and customers,” continued Bucher. “By layering on collaboration and additional services, CallSprout has a differentiated offering beyond traditional Unified Communication offerings that will help grow our business with existing and new customers.”

“We’re proud to provide CallSprout with a game-changing UCC solution,” said Todd Carothers, EVP of Sales, Marketing and Product at CounterPath. “Our robust provisioning and management software, which ensures positive user adoption and enhanced customer experiences, was a key factor in their decision-making process. With these new capabilities, CallSprout can expand their addressable market with an exceptional, distinctive offering.”
