Case Study: Medical-Device Manufacturer shrinks 1099 processing and mailing time from a week to less than a day with Sovos

A medical device manufacturer shrinks 1099 print & mail to one day with Sovos

The Medical-Device Manufacturer, a global maker of medical devices that processes about 1,300 Form 1099s per year, struggled because its ERP couldn’t adapt to changes in 1099 form layouts. That forced accounts payable staff to manually feed, fold and heat-seal pre-printed forms, turning 1099 processing and mailing into a week‑long, error-prone effort. To solve this, the company engaged Sovos and implemented Sovos' 1099 reporting service.

Sovos' 1099 reporting service lets the manufacturer export ERP data and upload it into Sovos to generate and validate 1099s (including TIN validation), eliminating pre-printed form stock and manual folding/heat-sealing. As a result, Sovos cut the time to process and mail 1099s from about one week to less than a day, eased the accounts payable team lead’s workload, and freed AP staff to focus on higher-value activities.
