Attached to our ERP, Avalara helps us calculate the correct sales taxes for even our most complicated customers, where the sales taxes can be different as our trucks drop off materials across the road. So the same load can have multiple tax rates. This has in turn helped us pass many sales tax audits by multiple states.

Avalara is well suited for a customer that needs seamless sales tax calculations. Additionally, the exemption certificate storage and access has helped us through many audits. Sales tax returns has enabled us to have more internal resources dedicated to items other than doing sales tax returns. Audit backup is helpful as well.
