Case Study: Wholesale Auto Supply achieves worry-free growth and simplified sales tax compliance with Avalara

Wholesale Auto Supply enjoys worry-free growth

Wholesale Auto Supply is a dealer-owned cooperative that serves more than 900 auto dealerships across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, eastern Pennsylvania, and northern Delaware. Rapid expansion out of New Jersey exposed the company to complex local and county sales/use tax rules, varying taxability by product and use, nexus concerns, and time-consuming manual exemption certificate and filing processes that had led to late penalties and audit risk.

By integrating Avalara’s suite (AvaTax, Returns, and CertCapture) with their Epicor Prophet 21 ERP, Wholesale Auto Supply automated tax calculations, filings, and exemption management. The result was simplified compliance, faster and more accurate filings, reduced audit burden, and significant time savings—giving leadership confidence that tax obligations are handled and eliminating prior manual headaches.
