GFI FaxMaker Online
Cloud fax service to send and receive faxes by email, web or API.
Cloud fax service to send and receive faxes via email, web or API
Many organisations still rely on fax for day-to-day workflows. Running on‑site fax hardware and analogue lines is costly to manage alongside cloud email, and remote teams make central control and auditing harder.
GFI FaxMaker Online lets teams send and receive faxes from email, a web portal or an API. It captures transmission logs and delivery status for operational control and audit, and reduces dependence on local fax servers.
Where GFI FaxMaker Online is used
Small businesses can retire analogue lines and share a cloud fax number, letting staff send faxes directly from their mailbox without new tools.
Regulated teams use logging and delivery receipts for record-keeping. Distributed teams use the web portal or API to integrate faxing into business systems and workflows.
Suitable environments
Fits organisations using cloud email (for example Microsoft 365/Exchange), especially SMBs and regulated sectors that still depend on fax. Works where distributed workforces need a central, auditable fax channel and where teams want to remove on‑prem fax hardware.
Features
Fax by email or web interface
Send a fax from your email by entering the subject, message, and attachments, then addressing the "To" field as number@faxmaker.com (e.g., recipient’s fax number with country and area code). Alternatively, use the secure GFI FaxMaker web interface via HTTPS to fill in the form, attach files, and send.
Automated routing
When GFI FaxMaker receives a fax, it’s automatically sent to the recipient's email based on their fax number. Faxes can also be routed to folders or printers, ensuring confidentiality and efficiency.
Integrate into applications
GFI FaxMaker offers APIs for integrating automated faxing into your applications, reducing the time and cost of manual document delivery while enhancing the security and privacy of information shared with customers and partners.
Print-to-fax
The network print-to-fax driver allows you to fax documents directly from applications, without printing. You can send multiple documents to one fax number or to many recipients, and the local printer driver enables faxing through the GFI FaxMaker web interface via HTTPS or email.
Archiving, search and retrieval
Integrating with GFI Archiver or a SQL database lets you archive all GFI FaxMaker faxes. OCR converts faxes to text, improving search, retrieval, and routing, while supporting auditing and compliance requirements.
Reporting
GFI FaxMaker offers advanced reporting, allowing detailed or summary reports, exportable to PDF, XLS(X), RTF, MHT, HTML, TXT, CSV, and PNG formats. Filter reports by inbound/outbound, department, sender, fax number, status, and date range.
Security and Scalability
GFI FaxMaker integrates with your secure network for both on-site and remote workers, offering encryption, TLS, and Active Directory for user management. It supports thousands of users, multiple servers, and high availability for load balancing or disaster recovery.
Connectivity Options
GFI FaxMaker offers versatile connectivity options, including on-premise integration with PBX and T.38 SIP, virtual FoIP for hardware-free faxing, and hybrid cloud-based faxing through GFI Online Fax Services. Secure, cost-effective, and scalable, it supports encrypted transmission and location-specific data centres for added compliance.
