Lightspeed Systems really stepped up and worked closely with us to get the filter up and running as fast as possible. Filtering our devices was one of the biggest hurdles during the shutdowns for us to overcome. It was amazing to me how quickly – within one to two days of having conversations – that we were able to get this up and running and set up on multiple platforms.
