Common scenarios

These scenarios come from recurring requirements in enterprise fax work. They can be combined to match your own department structure, line count and existing systems.

01

One fax hub for the company

The problem

Each department buys its own machine and orders its own line. Costs are scattered and nobody can say what was sent.

The approach

All fax lines terminate on one server and the whole company shares a single platform. Staff submit jobs in the browser and the server schedules the lines.

  • Fewer machines and less consumable spend
  • Line usage visible in one place
  • All traffic recorded centrally
02

Department-level control

The problem

Faxes carry contracts, pricing and HR material. Letting everyone see everything is not acceptable.

The approach

Permissions follow departments and roles, and fax data is separated by ownership. Standard users see only their own, managers see their department, administrators see everything.

  • Users, departments and roles
  • Data separated by ownership
  • Key actions logged for audit
03

Parallel lines for peak load

The problem

At month-end reconciliation a single line queues until closing time, and urgent documents cannot get out.

The approach

Several fax ports work at once. Jobs are dispatched to whichever port is free, and queue when all are busy, so nothing is dropped because the line was engaged.

  • Higher throughput from parallel ports
  • Jobs queue instead of failing
  • Boards and ports added as volume grows
04

Automatic faxing after approval

The problem

Once a document is approved in the OA system, somebody still exports it and walks to the machine — easy to miss or send to the wrong number.

The approach

On approval, your system calls the fax server HTTP API to submit the job directly, and can query the result to write it back against the record.

  • Sent automatically once approved
  • Result written back to your system
  • Fewer manual steps and mistakes
05

Automatic archiving

The problem

Retrieving a signed contract sent to a supplier six months ago means going through the filing cabinet for half a day.

The approach

Sent and received faxes are archived automatically with number, subject, date, page count and result, so a filtered search finds them.

  • One electronic archive for both directions
  • Search history on combined criteria
  • Files stored on your own server
