Overall Satisfaction with Avalara AvaTax

Avalara is used across the whole organization. It streamlines and ensures sales tax calculations and saves hours of time calculating and filing sales tax returns.
  • Point of sale sales tax calculation
  • Calculation of sales tax returns
  • Remittance of sales tax liabilities
  • Streamline the interaction between CertCapture and Avalara AvaTax.
  • It has greatly reduced the amount of time spent calculating and filing returns.
  • It has reduced the amount of time needed to verify tax charges and rates.
It has been several years, but as I recall implementation was smooth and expeditious.
  • Sage 100
It requires very little training for the everyday user. Some of the reports and admin functions are a little cumbersome.
We utilize CertCapture which has streamlined the management of exemption certificates. We have also utilized Avalara's professional services for registering in various states and for Nexus information.
At the time Avalara was the only solution that integrated seamlessly with Sage 100. Since then there have been a couple other solutions enter the market. We have briefly evaluated Vertex SMB. Their one advantage is a more reasonable and clear cost structure.
Avalara AvaTax is well suited when dealing with multiple taxing jurisdictions and states. It is rather expensive if only one or two states are dealt with.
