Countries around the globe are increasingly adopting e-invoicing mandates and additional digital reporting obligations, including live reporting of invoice data and e-reporting of international sales and purchases. However, achieving compliance is frequently complex and expensive, given the varying timelines and regulations across countries. The enhanced collaboration between Zuora and Avalara aims to provide companies with an integrated solution to effectively address these requirements.
Officials from Zuora said that their partnership with Avalara arms modern businesses with the technology necessary to pursue recurring growth on a global scale. Now, their joint customers will be able to meet varying e-invoicing and live reporting requirements through Zuora.
This partnership enables Zuora’s customers to:
