Biscom's Advanced Fax Routing module provides an extensive set of features for processing and delivering received faxes, often initiating a fax workflow. Common implementations of Advanced Fax Routing include:

• Redirect faxes when a recipient is out-of-office
  
  
• Deliver faxes to different locations based on the date-and-time
  
  
• Deliver the fax image along with additional extracted data in CSV or XML format
  
  
• Split a multi-page fax into multiple deliveries

Some data is known about a fax as soon as it arrives - details such as the date & time, the destination fax number, and the Caller-ID and TSID of the fax sender. Other details can be extracted from the fax image, or even from a network resource. For example, an OCR process might capture a "claim number" or "customer ID", or a barcode scan might produce an "order number". These additional data points might then be used to query a network resource for corresponding data. All of these data points can be used to determine the fax routing instructions. For example, the FAXCOM Fax Server can query a network resource to match the Caller-ID of a received fax with an email address to which that fax should be delivered. Using OCR results, the FAXCOM Fax Server can query a network resource to obtain ship-to, bill-to, and credit terms that match the customer number obtained via OCR. All of these data points can then be delivered to accounting along with fax.
