Outbound Faxes
Submit your outgoing faxes online directly from your business applications. The Softlinx fax APIs, email-to-fax capabilities, web portal and Windows print-to-fax client all allow you to send faxes directly from your existing software systems, integrating the system more smoothly into your online document Additionally, you can use a multi-function printer to scan and send a paper-based document over the Softlinx system.
Inbound Faxes
Your inbound faxes are processed in a similar way with encryption and secure transmission as your outbound faxes, just with different destinations. Your incoming faxes are delivered directly to your business applications via Softlinx fax APIs, your email inbox or predetermined network folders. You can also access them through the Softlinx web portal or Windows fax client.
Regardless of how they are sent or received, all these faxes are sent through the same encrypted Softlinx fax service, guaranteeing that your faxes are kept secure.
Benefits of Electronic Faxing
Compared to older technology and other communication methods, electronic faxing offers several benefits, such as:
- Better organization: Tracking your faxes is easier when you send them electronically. The faxes are stored online, so you can easily sort through them to find documents, as well as see when each fax was sent and if the transmission was successful. It also helps keep your workspace more organized since all of your important documents are kept digitally.
- Increased security: Faxing in the cloud is considerably more secure than using older technology. When you send a traditional fax, you must wait to collect the document after sending it so that someone else cannot pick it up and potentially discard or misplace it. However, with an electronic fax service, any documents you send are encrypted during transmission so you don’t have to worry about medical, financial, or other confidential information being intercepted. Your documents are also encrypted while at rest.
- Greater flexibility: Your company can enjoy greater flexibility with a cloud fax service compared to using older technology. For example, you can choose a plan from a number of subscription tiers available to find one that works best for your organization. You can also select the device you fax from, whether it’s your smartphone or desktop computer, for the most convenience.
