Fax is still a very
effective method of communication and
has some major advantages over postal
mail and email when used in an
accounting environment. Here are five
good reasons to fax from your accounting
software...
1. Every business has fax
The enormous installed base of fax
machines is still growing - so you can
rely on being able to communicate with
all of your customers and suppliers by
fax.
2. Fax is immediate
Because a fax transmission takes place
directly between two devices, you know
when your fax has reached its
destination. There are no delivery
delays and therefore no excuses. Faxing
statements and copy invoices speeds-up
debt chasing.
3. Fax is perceived as urgent
Send a document by fax and you imply
that it's urgent, it requires action now
and can't wait until tomorrow. That's
why faxing statements can reduce your
debtor's days!
4. Fax provides a hard copy
A fax transmission is most often printed
on paper when it arrives at its
destination and so provides an immediate
hard copy - which isn't easy to modify.
That's important for accounting
documents.
5. Fax saves time and money
Faxing documents directly from your
accounting software not only saves you
time but also removes the cost of
printing, stationery, envelopes and
postage. Whether you have 50 or 5000
customers, the monthly chore of the
statement run can now be completed in
seconds and at a fraction of the cost.
