In recent years, more trucking companies have made the transition to using cloud-based services that can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection. Some fleets have even gone so far as to host all of their computing infrastructure in the cloud. This type of information storage is beneficial because an outside vendor is able to track and store data on their servers, allowing fleets to concentrate fully on their business operations.
"I think we're finally going to realize the full promise of the Internet, in terms of it making our lives better and easier – not just more complicated," said Brett Brinton, president and CEO of Zonar Systems, an electronic fleet management company. "It's about starting to distil the operational information you generate on a daily basis to make your businesses even safer and more efficient than they already are."
One cloud-based technology in particular is helping trucking companies to become safer and more efficient: Fax over IP. FoIP allows trucking fleets to more easily communicate, manage their supply chains, and offers them comfort and security in knowing that the documents and information they're sending will be there when they're needed.
FoIP enables easier document transfer and storage because faxes are sent over the Internet, and the information is stored in the cloud. Service providers like FaxCore make it possible for sent faxes to become searchable, so there's no need to worry about misplacing a record or deleting an email containing important information.
Another benefit of FoIP is that is consolidates multiple functions into one machine. A FoIP-enabled fax machine can send and receive faxes, send documents as emails and file your data, all in one.
