Avalara has acquired integration platform company Versori in a move to help its software connect more easily with business systems and deliver automated tax compliance in real time worldwide, the company said March 6.
Avalara provides cloud-based software that automates tax compliance, including sales and use tax, VAT, and excise tax, for businesses of all sizes globally. It integrates with e-commerce, ERP, and accounting systems to calculate real-time tax rates, manage exemption certificates, and file returns across international jurisdictions.
The acquisition brings Versori’s AI-driven integration technology into Avalara’s platform, strengthening its ability to connect with enterprise resource planning (ERP), e-commerce, marketplace and financial systems worldwide.
What This Means: AI will increasingly build and maintain enterprise integrations. Traditionally, integrations between ERP, e‑commerce, and finance systems required significant developer effort. AI‑driven integration platforms could reduce that workload by automatically generating and maintaining connectors across enterprise applications.
“Compliance at global scale depends on seamless, reliable integration,” said Scott McFarlane, CEO and co‑founder of Avalara. “Versori’s technology and team significantly accelerate our ability to connect into the world’s commerce systems quickly, at scale using intelligent, AI‑driven automation.”
For Avalara, the acquisition supports its broader push toward AI‑native compliance services that operate continuously across digital commerce platforms. The company provides automated tax calculation, reporting, and compliance tools to more than 200,000 customers in more than 75 countries.
The acquisition also includes Versori’s team, with co‑founders and additional employees joining Avalara as the company continues operating under the name “Versori, by Avalara.”
AI-Driven Integration for Tax Compliance
The deal addresses a growing challenge for enterprises operating across multiple digital platforms: connecting tax engines and compliance tools with ERP systems, e‑commerce platforms, marketplaces, and finance applications in real time.
For example, when an order is placed in an e‑commerce platform, the transaction data can automatically flow into the ERP system while Avalara calculates the correct tax in real time – an integration that tools like Versori could help build and maintain more quickly.
What This Means: Tax compliance is becoming embedded in operational workflows. As digital commerce expands globally, companies need tax calculation and reporting to occur automatically inside transactions. Deeper integration with ERP and commerce platforms allows compliance engines like Avalara to operate continuously in the background.
Versori’s cloud‑native platform uses AI workflows to automatically generate and maintain connectors between enterprise applications. This approach reduces the engineering effort typically required to create integrations while enabling faster deployment and ongoing maintenance across complex enterprise environments.
By integrating these capabilities, Avalara aims to accelerate how integrations are built and maintained across its platform, embedding always‑on compliance directly within transactional workflows.
