Still got a fax machine humming away in the corner of your office? You're not alone. Plenty of T&T businesses—law firms, medical practices, government contractors, insurance companies—still need fax capability. Clients expect it. Some processes require it. But that doesn't mean you need to keep feeding paper and toner into a machine from 2005.

GFI FaxMaker lets you send and receive faxes directly from your computer or email. No paper jams. No walking across the office to check if something came through. No dedicated phone line eating into your monthly TSTT bill.

What GFI FaxMaker Actually Does

Think of it as email for fax. You send a fax the same way you'd send an email—attach your document, type in the fax number, hit send. Incoming faxes arrive in your inbox as PDFs. That's it.

The system connects to your existing email setup (Outlook, Microsoft 365, whatever you're using) and handles the conversion in the background. Your staff doesn't need training beyond "here's how you send a fax now."

Why This Makes Sense for Your Business

Cut the phone line costs. A dedicated fax line in Trinidad can run you $150+ a month. FaxMaker uses internet connectivity instead—you're already paying for that.

Stop buying consumables. Toner, paper, maintenance calls when the feeder jams again. These add up fast, especially if you're sending more than a handful of faxes per week.

Find faxes when you need them. Ever had to dig through a pile of curled-up thermal paper looking for a document from three months ago? With FaxMaker, everything's searchable and stored digitally. When the auditors come calling or a client disputes what was sent, you pull it up in seconds.

Keep faxes private. Incoming faxes go directly to the intended recipient's inbox—not sitting on a tray in the hallway where anyone walking by can read them. For legal offices and medical practices dealing with sensitive information, this matters.

Who's Still Using Fax (And Why)

You might think fax is dead, but certain industries still depend on it:

  • Legal firms sending court documents and contracts
  • Medical practices sharing patient records with labs and specialists
  • Insurance companies processing claims
  • Government contractors dealing with ministries that haven't gone fully digital
  • Real estate agencies handling signed agreements

If you're in one of these fields, you know the drill. Fax isn't going anywhere soon—but your clunky machine can.

How We Set It Up

Blue Chip handles the installation and configuration. We'll connect FaxMaker to your email system, set up user accounts, and make sure incoming faxes route to the right people. If you have multiple departments that need fax capability, we can configure separate fax numbers for each.

The whole process usually takes a few hours, and your team can start using it the same day.
