Orckestra Certified for Avalara’s Sales Tax Automation Solution

Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software delivering compliance solutions related to sales tax, VAT and other transactional taxes, today announced Orckestra, the company behind the Orckestra Commerce Cloud that simplifies the delivery of unified commerce experiences for the mid-size and large enterprise market, has joined Avalara’s community of certified solution partners. Avalara’s solution partners are software publishers that integrate Avalara’s software as a service (SaaS) offering for sales tax management directly into their own applications.

As a result of this partnership, Orckestra’s customers now have access to AvaTax™, Avalara’s cloud-based solution, to automatically calculate the final sales tax amount on every invoice. This eliminates the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes across multiple jurisdictions and helps businesses focus on their core offering.

“Our goal is to help our customers deliver seamless shopping experiences, and managing taxes effectively is a key part of the whole process,” said Frank Kouretas, Chief Product Officer at Orckestra. “Avalara is a leader in the space and our partnership with them will allow our customers to easily manage and remain up-to-date on increasingly complicated tax regulations with a simple out-of-the-box integration.”  

Pascal Van Dooren, Chief Revenue Officer at Avalara said, “This partnership allows Avalara to provide its comprehensive solutions to Orckestra’s customers in a fast, easy and cost effective way. In today’s electronic world it just doesn’t make sense to manually manage sales tax. We’re pleased to welcome Orckestra into our community.”

Avalara pioneered a web-based compliance platform for sales tax automation more than a decade ago and now provides an end-to-end suite of transactional tax compliance services for businesses of all sizes. Today its SaaS solution integrates into numerous ERP systems, accounting packages, ecommerce shopping carts, Point of Sale systems, and mobile payment platforms.
