Sovos CertManager is an innovative software solution that automates the customer exemption certificate process, addressing a critical challenge faced by tax, finance, and IT teams across various industries. This comprehensive tool is designed to streamline the collection, validation, storage, and reporting of exemption certificates, which have been identified by Aberdeen Research as one of the most time-consuming and costly aspects of tax compliance. CertManager's importance has been further amplified by the Wayfair decision, which has increased the complexity of sales tax obligations for many businesses. The software offers a range of features to simplify and automate the entire exemption certificate lifecycle, from initial customer outreach to ongoing management and renewal. By leveraging CertManager, businesses can significantly reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and ensure compliance with ever-changing tax regulations. For organizations looking for an even more hands-off approach, Sovos provides managed services where their U.S.-based support team takes over the entire exemption certificate process, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations while maintaining tax compliance.
