Case Study: LAZ Parking curbs compliance risk and enables growth with Avalara License Management

LAZ Parking curbs compliance risk with Avalara

LAZ Parking, one of the largest U.S. parking companies operating more than 1.2 million spaces across 35 states, faced rapidly escalating business licensing complexity as growth and acquisitions added new jurisdictions and lines of business. A two-person licensing team was managing hundreds of permits with spreadsheets and a limited homegrown database, creating process inefficiency and significant compliance risk in highly regulated markets.

LAZ implemented Avalara License Management, a cloud-based, Avalara-managed system that centralized licenses in a secure database, added a bonding customization, and introduced automated workflows, reporting, and a dynamic calendar. The solution enabled remote access, cut research time in half, improved compliance and process efficiency, and gave the small compliance team the scale and confidence to support ongoing growth while freeing them for higher-level projects.
