Symphony Commerce and Avalara Partnership Overview

Symphony Commerce, an enterprise-level commerce as a service provider announced a strategic partnership with 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.

AvaTax Integration and Customer Benefits

As a result of this partnership, all Symphony customers 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.

Comprehensive Commerce Management Solutions

“Symphony lets users control their entire business in one place, providing an integrated solution to easily manage retail and wholesale operations ranging from publishing new products to placing wholesale orders,” said Stas Goldobin, Product Manager at Symphony Commerce. “We call this commerce as a service; a one stop shop for our merchants’ needs. Since taxes are not a core competency for us, we opted to partner with Avalara to provide this essential service for our customers.”

Marshal Kushniruk, EVP of Global Business Development at Avalara said, “We recognise the value Symphony brings to its customers, and are pleased to augment their services with our compliance solution. In today’s electronic world it just doesn’t make sense to manually manage this arduous task.”
