Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

We use Avalara to compute the sales tax on our invoices, including our e-commerce platforms. We also use it to collect and maintain exemption certificates and to file some of our more tedious sales tax returns on our behalf.

Pros

  • Automating the exemption certificate process.
  • Computing and applying sales tax to transactions accurately and accurately.
  • Filing sales tax returns.

Cons

  • Better customer support.
  • Pricing
  • We definitely save time not having to manually compute sales tax or collect and provide exemption certificates.
  • I feel like they haven't given us enough timely support in implementing our ECM add-on.
  • It's expensive.

Not difficult at all, other than linking it to our ECM package.
I think Avalara is a powerful platform. We did have struggles implementing our ECM add-on and have had some confusion with the eCommerce extractors.
