Case Study: TE Connectivity saves time and minimizes risk with Vertex Inc.'s Indirect Tax Accelerator

How this tax manager improved operations for both tax and IT with the Indirect Tax Accelerator and PLUS Tools

TE Connectivity, a global manufacturer of connectors and sensors, faced recurring tax and ERP challenges—incorrect tax codes on purchase orders, expired tax jurisdiction codes in master data, and slow, incomplete SAP reporting—that led to short‑paid invoices and extra rework. To address this, TE Connectivity implemented the VERTEX Indirect Tax Accelerator for SAP ERP and PLUS Tools (with implementation support from LCR‑Dixon), aiming to improve tax accuracy and streamline month‑end processes.

Using VERTEX’s Accelerator and PLUS Tools, TE Connectivity automated address cleansing and look‑up table maintenance, enabling more accurate accruals and use‑tax payments, improved vendor relationships by eliminating short‑payments and rework, and produced faster, audit‑ready sales and use tax reports. The VERTEX solution reduced tax and IT maintenance hours and has saved time and minimized risk for the business each month.
