Case Study: Elettric80 achieves streamlined tax automation and confident compliance with Avalara

All-around automation with Elettric80 and Avalara

Elettric80, a Viano, Italy–based maker of robotic warehouse machinery that quickly grew its U.S. subsidiary in Skokie, IL, faced mounting tax complexity. A small administrative team was overwhelmed by manual processes for exemption certificates, changing sales-tax rates, returns, and customer M&A activity, creating increasing compliance risk as the business expanded.

Elettric80 implemented Avalara’s cloud solutions — AvaTax, CertCapture and Returns — integrated with SAP via partner DMA for a fast rollout. Automation centralized tax-rate updates, exemption management and return filing, improving accuracy and compliance, simplifying use-tax accruals and making expansion into new states a matter of clicks, which reduced manual effort and lowered risk.
