1 Send faxes without getting a phone bill

Customers with a PLUSFAX™ Router can transmit paper documents from fax machines without passing over the public telephone network, thereby completely avoiding a telephone bill.

2 Eliminate the costs of photocopying and scanning outgoing faxes

On average a regular fax is photocopied at least once by the sender and twice by the recipient. By ‘capturing’ a digital image of the outgoing fax and making it available to both sender and recipient using a web browser and/or standard imaging software, photocopying is no longer necessary. The potential cost savings achieved by no longer copying, scanning, filing, storing, losing, finding, managing and searching for paper documents are substantially greater than the savings on the telephone bill.

3 Eliminate Junk Faxes with Junk Fax Terminator™

Junk Faxes annoy everyone. Flexible filtering can reduce or eliminate junk faxes, without losing the faxes you really want!

4 Near Immediate Delivery direct to the recipient's personal computer

Direct delivery to the desktop allows the sender to immediately follow up with a phone call to discuss the content with the recipient.

5 Automatically File copies of outgoing faxes in a document imaging system.

Organizations with computer based document imaging systems can automatically file copies of the outgoing fax in the appropriate folder. It is sufficient for the sender to enter the folder name or filing location when preparing the PLUSFAX™ Cover Page and the PLUSFAX™ Router will pass the fax file to the imaging software, thereby avoiding the costly scanning process.

6 Flexible Delivery options including secure web server, email, regular fax number, Instant Messenger, Internet-enabled printers.

The fax is no longer tied to the numeric-only addressing scheme with a fixed physical location. The fax can be sent directly to the recipient even if s/he is away from the office.

7 Eliminate Complex Fax Machine Programming

Broadcasting a fax no longer requires complicated fax machine programming. All the addresses are contained in the fax itself.

8 Save Time at the fax machine

No need to feed the fax more than once, no need to look up the number, just load the document and hit a speed dial to send to the PLUSFAX™ Router

9 Enhance Fax Machine Throughput

Faxing to several recipients normally means tying up the fax machine while it re-transmits the fax to each recipient. With PLUSFAX™ the machine transmit just once, providing greater throughput.

10 Use Existing PC based Address Books and directories to reduces errors

The recipients’ addresses and fax numbers can be obtained from existing address books stored on the PC that prints the PLUSFAX™ Cover Page. The fax operator does not need to read them from the cover page and re-key into the fax machine. With PLUSFAX™ it’s enough to simply load the machine and hit a speed dial number.

11 Obtain automatic, non-repudiable confirmation of fax receipt

Senders of regular faxes may have the illusion that a fax is received the moment transmission is complete, but the only way of really being sure is to contact the recipient or wait for some form of acknowledgement. When the sender of a PLUSFAX™ opts for delivery via the PLUSFAX™ Secure Delivery Server the fax can only be seen or printed by the intended recipient. Immediately the recipient views or prints the PLUSFAX™ the Secure Server returns a confirmed delivery notification to the sender and saves a separate record of the fact that the document has been viewed or printed. With such a system it is very difficult for the recipient to claim that the fax was not received.

12 Obtain complete and detailed outbound fax statistics for accurate control and cost center allocation

Very few organizations have clear, complete and detailed information of who faxed what, to whom, when and for how much; making fax cost attribution in large organizations notoriously difficult. With PLUSFAX™ such statistics can be produced automatically.

13 Rent fewer phone lines

Outbound faxes no longer travel over the public telephone network freeing up lines for other uses.

14 Automatic Billing by client and matter for lawyers and other professionals

The sender can enter appropriate billing information when preparing a PLUSFAX™ Cover Page. The data are passed through the system unchanged and can be collected automatically.

15 Eliminate Manual Distribution costs and inefficiencies

Delivery direct to the desktop eliminates the cost and removes the inefficiencies, delays and lost faxes that result from manual fax distribution.

16 Roaming Recipient

The recipient can view the fax from any location with Internet access and is no longer tied to the receiving fax machine.

17 Eliminate the costs of photocopying and scanning incoming faxes

No need to scan or photocopy incoming faxes as a digital copy is readily available.

18 Eliminate the 'Where's my fax?' problem

Often a client may send a fax and then call to discuss it shortly afterwards. With PLUSFAX™ it is immediately available and not lost somewhere in the manual distribution system.

19 Enhance Privacy – no more fax machine snoopers

20 Save paper

The world sends a billion faxes every working day. This totals around a trillion pages each year, equivalent to around 100 million trees. With PLUSFAX™ only the sender uses paper, potentially saving the lives of 50 million trees and reducing fax paper costs by 50%.
