Naviga is now part of Avalara’s “Certified for AvaTax” program, which features integrations that perform at the highest level, providing the best possible customer experience.

With publishers handling orders across multiple cities, states, and even countries, they have a lot to deal with when it comes to calculating tax on orders and returns in their ERP systems. Prior to this integration with Avalara, Naviga customers were managing tax tables and rates inside the Naviga Book and Subscription platforms using import masks. Now, Avalara can help them manage the complex and ever-changing sales tax requirements and exceptions with their tax automation offering.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Avalara in order to offer this integration to our customers,” said Bill Everitt, General Manager of Book and Commerce at Naviga. “Naviga clients who use Avalara are able to save time and easily streamline sales tax on orders without needing to worry about the backend calculations.”
Naviga customers who have an account with Avalara can easily connect platforms and access the Avalara interface to automatically calculate rates for the following types of taxes: sales and use tax, value-added tax (VAT), and more. The rates are calculated based on location, item, regulations, and other factors – with automatic updates for any rate changes that may occur over time.
