Electrical distributor Regency Lighting replaced manual tax processes with Epicor Tax Connect, powered by Avalara AvaTax, integrated directly to its Epicor Prophet 21 ERP. The solution maps jurisdiction-specific rules for tangible goods, labor, recycling services, and freight without custom coding. It generates audit-ready documentation, improves taxed versus non-taxed accuracy, and reduces liability exposure for a company operating in eight U.S. locations.
