Avalara Adds Integrations with Infor

Cloud-based tax compliance automation maker Avalara has three new connectors into Infor applications, bringing the total number of Avalara-Infor integrations to ten. These integrations coincide with the tenth anniversary of Avalara’s partnership with Infor, a leading provider of beautiful business applications specialized by industry and built for the cloud.

Avalara’s new integrations with Infor are: Infor LN, Infor M3, and Infor Distribution SX.e. These join existing integrations with Infor Distribution A+, Infor Distribution FACTS, Infor Lawson/S3, Infor LX, Infor SyteLine, Infor VISUAL and Infor XA. Together, these ten integrations enable Infor customers to automatically calculate sales tax for every invoice line item, in real-time, saving countless hours of manual sales tax calculations (and the potential for errors), with the confidence they’re leveraging up-to-date nexus, tax rates and rules.

“As a cloud first company, it is vital that Infor align with like-minded partners able to deliver superior SaaS compliance applications to best compliment and strengthen our enterprise solutions. That is why we are pleased to join Avalara in celebrating the ’10 in 10’ milestone, which demonstrates just how valuable this partnership is proving to be for the marketplace,” said Neil Wilson, vice president, Global Alliances, Infor. “We look forward to growing our collaborative relationship by delivering the best products to our mutual customers for years to come.”

“Avalara has provided a clear and supported integration with our Infor ERP system since 2010,” said Randy Morris, director, IT for Production Markets, Doe and Ingalls Brand at Thermo Fisher Scientific. Production Markets at Thermo Fisher Scientific helps Bio-pharmaceutical and Life Science customers by providing raw materials and supply chain services to make the world cleaner, healthier, and safer. “Our customers rely on us to help manage their supply chains, so it’s absolutely critical that we get their transactions right,” said Morris. “Avalara gives us confidence in our ability to be accurate and compliant from a tax perspective.”

Avalara’s mission is to be a part of every transaction in the world, in order to address tax compliance challenges faced by businesses of all sizes. To that end, the company is focused on connecting with leading applications for e-commerce, mobile commerce, ERP, POS/MPOS and accounting software.

“Infor is a world-class partner so it’s an honor to mark our 10-year anniversary of collaboration,” said Avalara co-founder and CEO Scott McFarlane. “Our customers are doing business in real-time, which means they need fast, easy, accurate and affordable tax calculations occurring in the real-time ‘magic moment’ of commerce. Connecting seamlessly into Infor’s applications makes that task that much easier.”
