Quest Forum Digital Event 2020 

As companies expand into more states and countries, they often find that their core ERP tax engines don’t support all of their needs.  That’s when a cloud-based tax automation tool, such as Vertex, Avalara or Thomson Reuters can be implemented and integrated with the ERP, to support all sales and use tax needs.  This session will cover the capabilities of the main tax automation tools available, the process to implement one of them, and the benefits that can be achieved.  Pat Hammen from Renewable Energy Group will join and will provide an overview of their implementation of a tax automation tool.
