Most businesses are using a sophisticated fax service instead of the United States Postal Service for delivery of confirmations, invoices, postal orders, quotations, etc. Faxes which are customer specific (faxed invoices for instance) are known as transactional faxes, and can be sent in bulk. And, fax machines are a more suitable way to get information to a contact than postage to save money and time.
Faxing a hard copy invoice means it can be routed in an easy way and doesn't require any printing. There are still businesses that print out invoices and insert the invoices in envelopes. Meanwhile, the customers possess fax machines to print the invoices automatically. You can have the capability to send invoices electronically, and the information can be converted into a fax so customers can receive a hardcopy. Not only is it the fraction of postage cost, but there's immediate delivery of hard copy and no printing or paper costs either.
Sales collections and purchasing cycles can be shortened with the use of a fax machine, because you eliminate the transit time that occurs when using regular mail. And with full reporting, you always know exactly when your fax was received.
The purchase orders, which can be sent in bulk, allows instant buying; therefore, producing a crucial reduction in the inventory that has to be on hand.
