Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

In our company, we have a diverse set of products and services with complicated taxability. It would be a full-time job to assign the proper tax codes to each item or service and remit to each state. Avalara makes this process very simple and reduces the time spent each month to an hour or two instead of a week spent manually calculating.

Pros

  • Remitting the proper tax to the correct cities, counties, and states.
  • Suggesting the proper tax codes for products.
  • Responds promptly to address any issues that arise.

Cons

  • More diversity when it comes to products in taxability section.
  • Explanation of various reports and why they are useful.
  • Explanation of all categories that come with the subscription package.
  • Avalara changed our time spent on monthly sales and use calculations from 20 hours to 1 and month.
  • Avalara saved our company over $100,000 after seeing an issue on a report that would not have been caught if done manually.
  • Nexus map is a great visual reminder of issues at hand.
  • SAP R3
