Automation Is Only Part of Sales Tax Compliance.
The Difference Is Who Owns the Rest.

TaxConnex provides the support and oversight to manage the decisions, exceptions, notices, and ongoing compliance work that remains, reducing the burden on your team and helping manage compliance risk. Anyone weighing AvaTax alternatives should ask who handles that work.

Automation Alone is Not Enough

Avalara has its place. It has a great tool for sales tax calculation. And depending on your sales tax obligations, it may make sense to use its automated returns solution as well. But for many businesses, an automated returns solution is not enough – leaving a lot of the work to you. That's worth remembering as you review Avalara competitors and their automated returns options.

At TaxConnex, we combine technology & innovation with expertise and oversight to ensure your compliance is fully managed. Those weighing AvaTax alternatives should look for that same combination of expertise and oversight.

We considered automated solutions, but an API connector can’t solve everything. We needed experienced guidance on when sales tax becomes a worry and when to start reporting and collecting from customers. Having [a personal practitioner] to talk to that actually knows your business is extremely valuable.

The uniqueness is the fact that TaxConnex is a one stop shop. I’ve been in touch with several other providers, all of whom offer a suite of services at far more expensive rates and with different people for each issue I have. With TaxConnex, I have one person who’s responsible for everything I need.

I have been with 7-10 companies before BODi, and notices are always one of the greatest concerns for a company. It’s normal to receive 5+ notices a month, but with TaxConnex we don’t have that. I can easily count the direct notices we’ve received over the last 5 years.”

There’s not always a situation in business where technology can solve the problem for you. There are just too many nuances with sales tax and too many archaic state systems to deal with. I think it would be really hard for an AI solution to take all of those things into account and create something that really works for 90% of customers out there.
