King of Prussia, PA

Vertex, Inc., a leading provider of tax technology and services, announced an integration with Kibo, a leading cloud-based omnichannel commerce platform, to support customers with automated sales tax calculations.

The integration gives retailers and branded manufacturers on the Kibo platform access to the powerful Vertex sales tax calculation solution. The solution applies the latest taxability rates and rules to transactions in real time, supporting a comprehensive list of tax variables such as exemptions and discounts, as well as shipment and bill origin and destination.

“When it comes to tax, online retailers are caught up in a regulatory whirlwind. Through the seamless integration, we provide calculation accuracy assurance to Kibo merchants so they can focus on the customer and sales, instead of managing tax compliance,” said Paul Beirnes, managing director of partner development at Vertex.

With multiple deployment options, businesses can integrate and easily configure the Vertex sales tax solution in cloud, hosted and on-premise environments.

“A seamless check-out experience, including accurate tax calculations, can mean the difference between a shopper and a buyer in today’s competitive marketplace. With the Vertex partnership and integration, we are empowering our customers with a tool to navigate compliance and ensure shopper satisfaction,” said Michelle Fischer, chief customer & marketing officer at Kibo.
