Native SAP or a specialist third-party tax engine? Start with the tax requirement. Innovate Tax helps you choose the right route, design it properly and make it work globally.
There is no universal answer. The right architecture depends on your countries, products, transaction flows, data, tax complexity and operating model. Innovate Tax assesses the requirement first, then helps you choose and implement the technology that fits.
For suitable requirements, native ERP capability can remove unnecessary complexity. We assess whether SAP can meet your tax determination needs before recommending additional software.
Where complexity, country coverage or specialist calculation requirements justify an external engine, we implement the leading platforms and make sure SAP supplies the data they need.
SAP can provide valuable native tax capability, while specialist engines can extend automation where requirements demand it. The difficult part is translating tax law and business reality into reliable transaction data, rules and integrations.
We translate legislation and business requirements into application-specific scenarios, identifying the data needed to determine the correct treatment.
Customers, suppliers, products, entities, registrations and locations must provide the right tax signals. We help find and fix the gaps.
We work across order to cash, procure to pay, intercompany, fixed assets, reporting, integrations and country-specific requirements.
We combine indirect tax, ERP, tax engine, data and implementation expertise under one roof. Our job is not to sell you the most software. It is to make tax work.
We assess native capability and third-party engines rather than assuming the answer before discovery starts.
Tax requirements sit at the centre of the design, rather than being discovered after the ERP architecture is already fixed.
The specialists involved in discovery stay close to the implementation, testing and go-live.
Understand the current ERP, tax landscape, countries, business flows, data and pain points.
Determine whether native functionality, a third-party engine or a hybrid architecture best fits the requirement.
Map tax scenarios to the exact data and determining factors available across the business process.
Configure the solution and integrations with controls, traceability and maintainability in mind.
Test tax scenarios, data, interfaces and end-to-end outcomes before cutover.
