We use all three services and cannot imagine not utilizing Avalara Returns and CertCapture. Those are big pieces of sales tax management. We have occasionally used professional services when we've had large projects, such as multiple state registrations at one time.

Avalara - Today, Tomorrow, and into the Future
- CertCapture
Currently looking at CertCapture to handle our exemption certificates as we in take from our customers for exempt transactions. Additionally we have exemption certificates to provide our vendors for resale for inventory for resale purchases. Managing exemption certificates for any company can be complex and a huge deficiency for state tax audits.

Treading Tax Waters with Avalara
- Avalara Returns
- CertCapture
As stated before, we use multiple Avalara products. We use Avalara Returns, CertCapture which is now known as ECM. We also use Avalara's Tax Research tool formally known as TTR. All of these products have greatly benefited our organization from saving us time doing returns to answering our basic tax questions to reaching out to customers for their updated tax exemption certificates.

Avalara product review
- Professional Services (nexus studies, registrations, backfiling, etc.)
We do not use any of these additional services however, we are currently using ECMS and are transitioning to ECM. Once that transition is complete we will also be taking advantage of Avalara Returns through the SST program. Currently ECMS does not transmit information to Avalara's system which disqualifies us from the SST program.

having Avalara file our returns saves us a lot of time and are more accurate than completing them manually ourselves.
managing certificates in Avalara helps to keep the certificates organized and increases visibility of missing/expired certificates.

It has saved a ton of time using Avalara returns. I can upload them all together and then check back in a couple of days to see them as filed. It is a much easier thing now that is off my to do list.
