Implico Group Certified for Avalara’s Excise Tax Automation Solution
Strategic Partnership Allows Implico and SAP Customers to Automate Their Fuel Tax Determination Process
Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software that delivers a broad array of compliance solutions related to sales tax and other transactional taxes, today announced that Implico Group, a leading global provider of intelligent IT solutions for the Oil & Gas downstream industry for SAP systems, 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 indirect tax management directly into their own applications.
As a result of this partnership, Implico and SAP customers now have access to Avalara AvaTax Excise™, Avalara’s cloud-based solution to automatically calculate the final sales and excise tax amounts on every fuel 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 SAP clients manage their businesses more efficiently,” said Thomas Weggelaar, CEO of Implico. “Our integration with Avalara will allow SAP users to easily manage and remain up-to-date on increasingly complicated tax regulations.”
Pascal Van Dooren, Chief Revenue Officer at Avalara, said, “This partnership allows Avalara to provide its comprehensive solutions, including AvaTax Excise, to SAP customers in a fast, easy and cost effective way. In today’s electronic world it just doesn’t make sense to manually manage indirect taxes. We’re pleased to welcome Implico into our community.”
