Trifecta Technologies Partners with Avalara for Cloud-Based Sales Tax Compliance Automation

Seattle, WA and Allentown, PA - Oct. 20, 2015 - Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software delivering compliance solutions related to sales tax, VAT and other transactional taxes, today announced Trifecta Technologies, a provider of enterprise commerce solutions, web and mobile application development and IT services, 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, customers who use Trifecta Commerce on Salesforce now have access to AvaTax™, Avalara’s cloud-based solution, to automatically calculate sales taxes owed on every invoice. This eliminates the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes across multiple jurisdictions and helps businesses focus on their core offering.

“We’re always focused on helping our clients manage their businesses more efficiently,” said Virgil Prewitt, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Trifecta Technologies.  "Our partnership with Avalara will enable our portal users to easily manage and remain up-to-date on increasingly complicated tax regulations.”

Avalara pioneered a service-based compliance platform for sales tax automation more than a decade ago and today works within a company’s own financial, billing, ecommerce, or point of sale system to provide an end-to-end suite of transactional tax compliance services for businesses of all sizes.

Pascal Van Dooren, Chief Revenue Officer at Avalara, said, “We recognize the value Trifecta Technologies brings to its clients, and are happy to augment their offerings with our easy and affordable compliance solution. In today’s electronic world, it just doesn’t make sense to manually manage sales tax. We’re pleased to welcome Trifecta Technologies into our community.”
