SEATTLE, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avalara, Inc., a leading
provider of cloud-based tax compliance automation for businesses of
all sizes, today announced that Drop, an Italian technology
company, is improving compliance and saving time with Avalara's
core software solutions for tax calculations and returns. The
Italy-based company has been
helping retailers sell for 20 years, and its customers' products
are shipped to buyers around the world, including Australia, Canada, Singapore, the U.K., and the U.S.
Prior to automating its tax processes, Drop operated in the
ecommerce space and calculated sales and use tax, VAT, and GST
manually. Not only was this a heavily manual process and a headache
for the Drop team, accuracy was also an ongoing issue. In 2022,
Drop received notification that it exceeded tax thresholds in
Canada and the U.S., and was
required to register to collect tax within certain Canadian
provinces and U.S. states. The company scoured the internet for tax
compliance providers and asked partners for recommendations.
"We sought a tax compliance provider that integrated with our
internal software and major ecommerce platforms in the market. We
leverage all of the major platforms to run our business, so Avalara
was the clear choice for our tax compliance needs," said
Stefano De Angelis, Project
Manager at Drop. "Since implementing Avalara software, Drop has
reduced the time we spend on tax compliance from two business weeks
a month to three to four days a month — which is a 65% gain in
efficiency for our global business!"
Drop calculates tax on nearly 10,000 transactions a year using
Avalara AvaTax and files more than 150 returns annually using
Avalara Returns. One of the top benefits of using Avalara Returns
is Drop's ability to make a single payment each filing period to
remit tax in the 22 U.S. states where it sells and another for
Canada.
"Companies, like Drop, who are growing globally trigger new tax
compliance obligations by simply expanding into new countries and
channels," said Liz Armbruester,
EVP of Customer and Compliance Operations at Avalara.
"Avalara's specialized tax compliance solutions support a company's
growth and are available in more than 75 countries. With our robust
partner integrations, AvaTax, our core product, seamlessly plugs
into existing platforms to automate day-to-day compliance for tens
of thousands of companies around the world — making compliance
faster and easier."
