Case Study: Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope achieves automated, accurate sales-tax calculation and seamless ERP integration with Avalara AvaTax

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope - Customer Case Study

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope, a leading North American supplier of curtain walls, storefronts, doors and architectural glass, needed a sales-tax solution that could supply accurate rates, determine customer taxability or exemption across 49 U.S. states and Canada, and integrate with its ERP when its metal products division moved to Epicor. Tax manager Peter Fortenbaugh required reliable calculations and returnable tax data for third-party filing that their prior system could not fully provide.

They implemented Avalara AvaTax as the automatic connector to Epicor and have used it since 2009. Implementation was smooth and AvaTax now delivers up-to-date rates, correct tax and exemption determinations, and dependable reporting for filings — improvements that have streamlined daily tax operations and that they plan to extend company-wide.
