Gotransverse Platform adds AvaTax capabilities to activity-based billing cloud platform.
Bainbridge Island, WA, and Austin, TX - December 20, 2012 - Avalara and Gotransverse today announced a partnership that integrates Avalara’s software as a service (SaaS) offering for sales tax management directly into Gotransverse’s Billing platform, the all-in-one activity-based billing and subscription management SaaS solution.
As a result of this partnership, companies that require complex use tax or sales tax support can utilize Avalara’s AvaTax capabilities from within the Gotransverse Billing platform to automatically calculate the final tax amount on an invoice. This allows businesses to focus on more strategic activities instead of worrying that rapidly shifting tax codes are wreaking havoc on customer invoices.
“As cloud computing adoption takes off, businesses will be challenged to accurately tax and bill for goods and services,” said James Messer, founder, president, and CEO at Gotransverse. “By combining our distinct expertise – Avalara for taxation and Gotransverse for billing – cloud service providers can focus on the fundamentals of their business.”
For most customers with standard sales taxation requirements, configuring and connecting AvaTax to Gotransverse Platform will take only a few minutes. Once configured, Gotransverse will automatically sync with AvaTax to calculate invoice tax amounts for each bill cycle. Integrated billing and taxation functions will result in greater accuracy, save time, and allow critical resources to focus on core business deliverables.
Avalara CEO and Founder Scott McFarlane said, “Both Gotransverse and Avalara are focused on helping customers efficiently manage their business finances. Because the Gotransverse Billing connector is certified by Avalara, Gotransverse customers will be able to easily set-up AvaTax, manage, and remain in compliance with increasingly complicated tax regulations.”
