Case Study: Brown-Forman achieves seamless SAP-integrated e-invoicing compliance and zero business disruptions with Sovos

Brown Forman embraces changing e-invoicing regulations with Sovos

Brown-Forman, one of the world’s largest spirits companies, faced mounting e-invoicing and fiscal reporting challenges as it expanded in Latin America — particularly in Brazil and Mexico where real-time mandates and frequent regulatory changes threatened to overwhelm its lean IT team and single global SAP instance. To address this, Brown-Forman turned to Sovos and its e-invoicing compliance solutions (Sovos’ Business-to-Government regional reporting platform and regional eInvoice/eAccounting offerings).

Sovos implemented country-specific reporting for Brazil (Nota Fiscal) and Mexico (CFDI and eContabilidad), integrating seamlessly with Brown-Forman’s SAP ERP and providing continuous monitoring and support. Sovos’ solution eliminated the need for ongoing SAP upgrades and heavy IT involvement, enabled redeployment of resources to accounts receivable, accounts payable and supply chain improvements, and delivered zero compliance-related business disruptions.
