Manage the Complexity of Tax Compliance

Insights from our partner Avalara

Crossroads RMC 0 2446 Article rating: 5.0

Sales tax compliance becomes more complex as businesses grow. Expanding into new markets, adding locations, selling online, or integrating systems after an acquisition can quickly introduce new tax obligations.

Many organizations find manual tax processes difficult to manage and scale. Automation can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of costly penalties.

When Compliance Gets Complicated

Changes such as the following often create new tax requirements:

• Upgrading or changing ERP systems
• Mergers or acquisitions requiring system integration
• Adding locations or warehouses
• Expanding into e-commerce
• Managing remote employees
• Selling at trade shows across multiple states

Businesses may also struggle with large transaction volumes, exempt products or customers, audit exposure, and tax obligations in complicated states.

Why Avalara & Crossroads RMC

Avalara automates tax registration, calculation, filing, and document management, helping businesses maintain compliance as they grow.

Crossroads RMC integrates Avalara directly with Infor ERP environments, enabling automated tax calculations and reporting within existing ERP workflows.

Avalara supports more than 41,000 businesses and government organizations in over 75 countries, helping organizations manage complex tax requirements while focusing on growth.

Tips: LN | Baan

For years, paper work instructions have been a standard part of manufacturing. They were easy to distribute, simple to update, and familiar to operators.

But manufacturing has changed. Products are more complex, customer expectations keep rising, and as experienced employees retire, new hires often need to become productive faster than ever before. As a result, many manufacturers are rethinking how information is delivered on the shop floor.

The Challenge with Paper

Paper work instructions create several common challenges:

  • Multiple versions of the same document
  • Outdated instructions remaining at workstations
  • Time spent searching for the correct information
  • Longer training periods for new employees
  • Inconsistent processes between operators

On their own, none of these seem like a major problem, but together they add up to real quality and productivity issues.

A Shift Toward Digital Work Instructions

One trend we're seeing across the manufacturers we work with is a move toward digital work instructions. Rather than relying on printed documents, operators receive the latest approved instructions directly at their workstation, along with supporting images, videos, and other visual aids. This helps ensure every operator is working from the same information, every time.

Manufacturers making this shift are also gaining new capabilities they didn't have with paper: capturing production data directly from the shop floor, improving traceability, and supporting standardized work across shifts and facilities.
