Adios Avalara?

Sovos and Epicor Launch Strategic Partnership

Sovos, a global provider of tax and regulatory compliance software, and Epicor Software Corporation, a leader in industry-specific enterprise software to drive business growth, are excited to announce a strategic partnership.

Managing indirect tax across multiple jurisdictions is complex, especially when relying on disconnected point solutions. Sovos simplifies sales and use tax compliance with a unified, real-time solution that automates tax determination across jurisdictions, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and seamless scalability as regulations evolve. Centralized tax determination reduces audit risk, improves operational efficiency, and frees teams to focus on growth.

Through this strategic alliance, Epicor customers gain access to Sovos’ industry-leading tax solutions, which include:

  • Sales and use tax determination
  • Sales and use tax filing
  • Tax exemptions and certificate management

I hope not… we’ve invested a lot in Avalara. I hope they are just offering more than one solution.

Me too, we just got started on Avalara…

We saw this at insights, we’ll see where it leads. A little competition might be a good thing. Both solutions interface through epicor using the same process.

Indeed some competition could be good for us customers

On the one hand, we just got done implementing..

On the other hand, not very happy with Avalara as a company :face_vomiting::face_vomiting:

Can I ask why? Might be valuable to other folks investigating Avalara presently.

The same process? Meaning the Epicor Tax Connect module will handle both and just have more configuration options? Or actually a similar process, with a completely separate module for an interface?

I have an answer for my own question. It is a similar process with a separate module. See the Licensing section of the “Understanding Tax Integration With Sovos” article for details.

I’M IMPLEMENTING AVALARA RIGHT NOW!! :enraged_face:

I don’t think it’s going away. They are just giving everyone another option.

They covered this at the WiEUG it’s the same integration just another option

Works the same though

If we can have two options for tax integration why cant we also have two options for credit card processing?

Cause EPX is owned by Epicor. :slight_smile:

Also you can use other processors the supported list includes

PayPal
[Authorize.Net]
SecurePay
and EPX

Hopefully it’s less than Avalara.

I wish. But probably isn’t. We are also too far invested in Avalara to change now.

Price competition would be wonderful for us customers! So probably won’t happen in our timeline.
