Case Study: Sovos Compliance achieves rooftop-level tax-jurisdiction accuracy and faster compliance with Precisely GeoTAX

Sovos Compliance uses the GeoTAX solution to deliver tax compliance advice more accurately and quickly

Sovos Compliance, a SaaS provider of the Intelligent Compliance Cloud that handles more than 1 billion 1099-reportable transactions annually, faced growing challenges from complex, overlapping tax jurisdictions and imprecise ZIP-code lookups that produced incorrect tax results. To deliver rooftop-level accuracy and avoid costly tax errors or customer disputes, Sovos selected GeoTAX from Precisely to provide precise address cleansing and jurisdictional lookup within its platform.

Precisely’s GeoTAX was integrated into the Intelligent Compliance Cloud to cleanse addresses, return rooftop‑level geocodes, and apply the correct sales and VAT rates without slowing transaction processing. The integration delivered consistently accurate, single-result jurisdiction assignments, earned Colorado Department of Revenue certification (with a hold‑harmless agreement for users), and is now relied on by state employees—demonstrating measurable improvements in accuracy and trust across Sovos’ global transaction volumes.
