Shared Fax with Designated Inboxes
Shared Fax with Designated Inboxes
This feature would allow businesses to assign multiple users to a single fax number. Faxes received on this number would be routed to individual inboxes within a designated application, ensuring each user sees only the faxes relevant to them.
Here's a breakdown of the functionalities:
• Group Management: An administrator can create groups of users and assign a shared fax number to the group.
• User Roles: Within a group, users can have different roles. For example, some users might only have view access, while others can view and annotate faxes.
• Individual Inboxes: Each user within the group would have their own inbox where they can see only the faxes addressed to them or their group.
• Routing Rules: Faxes can be routed based on various criteria, such as sender information, keywords in the fax content, or a predefined routing matrix.
• Collaboration Tools: Users can collaborate on faxes within their inboxes. This might involve features like adding annotations, highlighting important sections, or assigning tasks to other users.
Delivery Options: In addition to the application inbox, users can be notified of new faxes via email or SMS.
Benefits:
Improved Workflow: This feature streamlines fax handling by eliminating the need to physically distribute faxes or forward them manually.
Enhanced Security: Each user only sees the faxes they are authorized to view, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Increased Efficiency: Collaboration tools within the application can improve communication and expedite decision-making related to faxed documents.
Centralized Management: Administrators can easily manage user access, groups, and routing rules from a central location.
This shared fax concept with designated inboxes would significantly improve fax management for businesses that rely on fax communication but want a more secure and efficient way to handle it.

We're in the same boat. I've used several VoIP and digital faxing systems, and this is by far the most limited and not HIPAA friendly that I've experienced. Everything other part of their platform is feature rich, but faxing was definitely left behind.
