Avalara (www.avalara.com), the leading provider of sales, use and VAT tax automation solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced that customer SUPERFEET is improving productivity using Avalara’s AvaTax and Exact’s Macola ES solution. AvaTax software allows SUPERFEET to instantly and accurately calculate sales taxes across multiple jurisdictions.
SUPERFEET, one of the world’s leading insole manufacturers and distributors, is the first Exact Software customer to benefit from the recently-announced alliance between Avalara and Exact Software. With its multinational network of distributors throughout North America, Europe, Japan and Australia, SUPERFEET relies on the integration of Exact Macola ES and Avalara AvaTax to automate their sales and use tax compliancy. The result is a dramatic improvement in overall productivity, as the integration eliminates the problems caused by multiple tax jurisdictions.
