All segments of this industry share common needs to
improve operational efficiency, develop closer business
partnerships, build strong brands based on customer
loyalties, and grow efficiently to increase revenue and
profits.

U.S., and has invested in advanced Internet
applications for the purposes of ensuring timely

The Aareeva solution
Due to the nature of the transportation business and the
need for efficient communications, Aareeva's client was
an early adopter of IP fax. A customer since 1998 the
company has effectively implemented Aareeva's Internet
Fax Desktop Solutions to communicate within their
multiple global offices and with their suppliers and
customers.
Internet fax replaced the company's standard fax
machines, resulting in time savings by eliminating the
printing and manual faxing of documents, and in cost
savings through the elimination of paper, toner,
dedicated phone lines, and maintenance expenses.
Employees are able to send faxes directly from their
desktops and save these documents electronically in
their email inbox. Retrieving these documents
electronically versus manually is a substantial
improvement operationally.
Because pricing continues to be a major issue and is at
the forefront of buying decisions, a Aareeva solution
proved cost-efficient while maximizing the company's
existing IT infrastructure. Since the initial deployment
within the U.S. operations, Aareeva's client has rolled
out IP desktop fax solutions to its offices within
Europe, and Latin America.
Aareeva has deployed a proprietary global fax server
network specifically designed to provide secure,
uninterrupted global document transmission services. By
building and maintaining a highly flexible and secure
network, customers are guaranteed superior reliability
and stability. The ability to integrate highly reliable
and proven IP routing and services is enabling the
company to profit from breakthrough applications that
improve productivity and enhance customer service.
