Avalara’s Sales Tax SaaS Partnerships Continue to Grow
Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) October 30, 2013 -- Avalara (http://www.Avalara.com), a leading provider of sales tax and compliance automation services in the cloud, today announced that Znode, provider of the leading .NET ecommerce platform, Multifront™, has joined Avalara’s growing list of solution partners. Mutual partner Alynnlee has created a connector that integrates Avalara’s software as a service (SaaS) offering for sales tax management directly into Znode’s ecommerce platform.
As a result of this partnership, customers can now use the capabilities of AvaTax, Avalara’s sales and use tax software, from within Znode’s existing workflow 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.
