Calculate tax at the point of transaction using edge computing.
Vertex O Series Edge offers the convenience and cost-savings of cloud with the control and performance of local deployments. Calculate tax at the point of transaction but manage it centrally – for the highest availability, improved control over performance, and a streamlined tax technology landscape. Don’t let tax create friction in your business – move it to the edge.
Deploying the tax engine using edge technology eliminates network connectivity and bandwidth issues in local store settings. Edge also enables fast, automated scalability while minimising latency to address increased demand on e-commerce websites, especially during peak traffic.
Eliminate most (if not all) network latency in processing a transaction. Edge containers provide consistent, reliable performance since they calculate without an internet connection.
With an edge deployment, tax is calculated locally with minimal friction. Data and telemetry are streamed to a main hub intelligently to centralise reporting, compliance, and maintenance. Easily and efficiently manage a large ecosystem of clusters with a simplified user experience — all within our central dashboard.
Customise individual containers for each specific line of business, region, or any other way you organise your business. Deploy only the tax content needed for that location. Configure full automation or push-button activation of software, content, and configuration updates. Install new endpoints in just minutes with minimal effort.
Edge works with cloud and on-premises deployments of O Series, streamlining your tax technology stack however you prefer. Deploy edge clusters into your own environment or virtually any third-party cloud service, including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle OCI, Google GCP.
Transactions are processed and tax is calculated behind the company firewall, which minimising traffic through the firewall. PII never needs to leave the local network.
