Automated Fax

Any business system producing document data has the potential to be integrated with the Prodocom Automated Fax facility.

The speed, reliability and management of customer and supplier communications are often a critical benchmark of a company’s success. Being able to deliver documents directly from back office applications has several advantages. Speed of delivery is improved. Errors associated with people-based processes and the vagaries of the postal system are bypassed. Proof of delivery and an audit trail for critical financial documents are provided. The replacement of print and post processes, with fax, or email delivery, often entails the distribution of large volumes of mission critical documents. The costs associated with purchasing and maintaining the fax infrastructure required for this scale of operation can be prohibitive. Companies can achieve far quicker return on investment by using Prodocom’s outsourced Fax services. Prodocom provides access to thousands of fully secure and redundant fax lines. There are no infrastructure costs, just a very competitive rate per fax delivered.
