Case Study: Albert Lee Appliance achieves automated, audit‑ready sales tax compliance with Sage 100 ERP

Albert Lee Appliance Plugs Into Sales Tax Reform With Sage 100 ERP Sales Tax

Albert Lee Appliance, a four-location independent appliance dealer in Seattle, faced a dramatic increase in sales tax complexity when Washington shifted nexus to the destination, expanding their exposure from a few rates to potentially hundreds. To address this, Albert Lee Appliance implemented Sage 100 ERP Sales Tax by Avalara through Sage to automate tax calculations and compliance.

Sage 100 ERP Sales Tax by Avalara was integrated into their Sage 100 ERP system to calculate sales tax in real time based on ship-to addresses, apply automatic updates for rates and jurisdictions, and reduce manual work. The solution handled their first post‑reform return across 90 tax jurisdictions, saved significant staff time, and earned auditor praise as the “gold standard,” giving Albert Lee Appliance confidence in compliance and audit readiness.
