SEATTLE, Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Glympse, the pioneer of real-time location sharing technology, is proud to announce they are working with Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a premier global consumer and commercial service company, to deliver accurate service appointment information to consumers and businesses, including the location and estimated time of arrival (ETA) of Rollins technicians on the day of service.

By opting in for service notifications, customers receive timely SMS text or email notifications, allowing them to view the latest service timing information on any web-enabled device. Further, once the service technician is en route to the appointment, the customer will be able to see the tech's location on a live map, including ETA, so they know to the minute when their tech will arrive for the service appointment.

Eddie Northen, Chief Financial Officer of Rollins stated, "We are extremely pleased to announce this agreement with Glympse. We have always understood that the service visit is a key component to our overall customer experience. The Glympse solution provides a highly engaging and helpful experience for our customers. It is consistent with our mission of being the World's Best Service Company."

"As the leader in the global and commercial services industry, Rollins' philosophy is to innovate through new technologies. The Glympse last mile solutions allow them to do just that," said Chris Ruff, CEO and president of Glympse.

Our solutions contain automated location-triggered messaging and smart pushes to dynamically trigger push messaging based on real-time locations. And we do this without unnecessarily draining the phone battery."
