Blurring the line between Black Friday and Cyber Monday

With online and mobile shopping growing exponentially and blurring the line between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s important that your sales tax determination software is able to accurately handle the expected volume wherever your customers are buying; online, in a store, or over the phone.

The holiday shopping rush can mean the difference between ‘in the red’ and ‘in the black’ for many retailers.  Incorrect calculations or slowed transaction time can undo all of your careful planning and result in penalties, bad press, and loss of critical online sales. Additionally, inaccurate sales tax calculation can result in lost profits due to the volume of transactions during the biggest shopping event of the year!
