Zuora Becomes a Sovos Certified Compliance Partner
Zuora, Inc. (NYSE: ZUO), a leading monetization suite for modern businesses, today at Subscribed Connect Paris announced a partnership with Sovos, a global compliance technology solutions and services provider, to help global businesses meet electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) mandates directly through Zuora.
As tax reform becomes more extensive around the world, numerous countries have adopted or are planning adoption of global e-invoicing mandates. But companies often struggle to comply with fast-approaching standards, as requirements vary by country and mandate timelines differ. Those that fail to meet government requirements can face regulatory fees and consequences, including potential lost revenue if they lose approval or licensure to conduct business in certain regions.
Without the right solution, e-invoicing compliance often makes the invoicing process manual, and building custom connections to e-invoicing networks requires substantial IT resources and infrastructure. In partnership with Sovos, Zuora now provides a pre-integrated, automated e-invoicing solution that works directly with its recurring billing.
As part of this partnership, Zuora also joins the Sovos Certified Compliance Program, an innovative program that enables transaction management platforms providers to leverage Sovos' industry-leading e-invoicing compliance portfolio through certified integrations to solve critical customer compliance requirements wherever they are.
"By streamlining the process to meet e-invoicing mandates, Zuora's partnership with Sovos will enable companies to focus on global expansion and driving recurring growth," said Balaji Subramanian, Vice President, Global Partner Ecosystem at Zuora. "Now with Zuora, modern businesses can leverage critical data already available in their modern billing system to reduce complexity and meet e-invoicing mandates with one solution."
The new partnership with Sovos enables Zuora customers to:
- Leverage an out-of-the-box solution to address local e-invoicing regulations
- Meet compliance through country-specific templates, tax management reports and e-invoice archiving capabilities
- Simplify operations by automatically passing billing information from Zuora to Sovos to generate e-invoices
- Easily expand into new markets with a pre-integrated e-invoicing solution, and leverage Zuora's existing 40+ pre-integrated payment gateways and multi-currency support
"As a strategic Sovos Certified Compliance Program partner, Zuora is the first in the transaction management category to provide its customers with access to a global, 360° compliance solution," said Alice Katwan, President of Revenue at Sovos. "With the compliance capabilities and coverage provided through our partnership, Zuora's customers are set to meet today's international tax requirements, as well any changing regulations in the future."
In addition to the Sovos partnership, Zuora also provides out-of-the-box PEPPOL data export, which can be used to submit e-invoices through a Zuora workflow to the PEPPOL e-invoicing network.
