IDC opinion
The shift toward digital tax compliance is reshaping the business landscape. As such, businesses face increasing regulatory demands and the need for streamlined, automated solutions. This is especially true when it comes to automated sales and use tax solutions for both enterprise and SMB companies. Meanwhile, the transformation of the e-invoicing market in Europe has intensified the need for solutions to address e-invoicing mandates and value-added tax (VAT) compliance.
The IDC MarketScape named Avalara as a Leader in automated sales and use tax solutions for both enterprise and SMB companies.
“The complexity and volatility of e-invoicing regulations worldwide demand a single, comprehensive solution that can handle compliance across multiple countries. By adopting a solution that has wide coverage and integrates seamlessly with finance and ERP systems, businesses can not only stay compliant but also unlock opportunities to automate processes and improve efficiency.
Avalara E-Invoicing and Live Reporting offers a way for organizations to reduce the burden of e-invoicing compliance while streamlining their operations through one unified platform,” says Edyta Kosowska, Market Research Manager at IDC.
