Challenger Freight Systems, Inc. (Challenger Freight), a full service freight company, has selected EasyLink for outsourced desktop and production fax services.

EasyLink’s production fax services will be integrated with Challenger’s freight management software to securely and rapidly automate the delivery of shipping documents, eliminating the inefficiencies of manual fax handling.

“Challenger Freight is continually implementing IT solutions that will reduce operating costs while streamlining operations,” said Randy Cantrell, vice president of Challenger Freight in a statement.

“By eliminating our fax servers and moving to a standardized messaging platform, we can rapidly integrate new business processes, substantially reduce IT expenditure, and leverage a highly scalable architecture to accommodate our growth strategies - all while enhancing the services we provide our customers,” said Cantrell.

Kevin Maloney, executive vice president, worldwide sales and marketing of EasyLink Services (News - Alert) said that the company is pleased to have Challenger Freight as a customer.

“Our rapidly deployable, ‘as a Service’ fax solution will enable Challenger Freight to automate fax communications, enhance the value of their process management system, and meet customer service objectives,” said Maloney.
