Kintsugi Introduces Test Organizations: Explore, Prepare, and Transition Seamlessly

We’re excited to announce the launch of Test Organizations, a feature designed to give users a dedicated sandbox environment to explore Kintsugi’s capabilities without impacting their live data or compliance workflows. Whether you’re testing paid plan features, experimenting with data imports, or preparing to go live with your actual compliance needs, Test Organizations make it easy, safe, and efficient.

How Test Organizations Help You Prepare with Confidence

Explore Paid Features Without Commitment: With Test Organizations, you can try out the full functionality of Kintsugi, including paid-plan features, without entering your credit card information. This sandbox environment lets you explore the app freely and experience its capabilities before making any decisions, ensuring Kintsugi is the right fit for your business.

Keep Test Data Separate from Live Data: Testing shouldn’t compromise your compliance calculations. Test Organizations allow you to connect test data in a separate environment, ensuring it doesn’t skew your nexus thresholds, liability calculations, or registration workflows. This is particularly helpful for users who first connect the test sites of their billing systems to experiment and later connect live sites—keeping the two completely separate prevents any crossover issues.

Start Fresh: When you’re ready to go live, Test Organizations let you create a brand-new live organization with a clean slate. Use this organization for your actual registrations, filings, and compliance workflows, ensuring accurate data and streamlined operations from day one.

Delete Test Data: If you decide to stop testing, we’ve made it easy to delete your test data. In as little as 30 days, you can remove all test-related information, giving you complete control over your data and ensuring your system stays clean and organized.

Switch Between Test and Live Organizations: For businesses that need to use both test and live environments simultaneously, Kintsugi makes it seamless to switch between organizations. With just one click, you can toggle between testing and live operations, ensuring you’re always working in the right environment for your needs.

Why This Matters

Testing compliance workflows can be risky if it interferes with your live data or skews calculations. With Test Organizations, Kintsugi offers a secure and efficient way to:

• Explore Freely: Try out all features without disrupting your live environment or entering sensitive information.
• Protect Accuracy: Keep test data separate from live data to ensure nexus and liability calculations remain accurate.
• Stay Flexible: Switch between test and live environments effortlessly, ensuring a smooth transition when you’re ready to go live.
• Maintain Control: Delete test data quickly when you no longer need it, keeping your system clean and efficient.

This feature empowers businesses to explore, prepare, and transition to live compliance workflows confidently and seamlessly.

What’s Next?

The Test Organizations feature is now live for all Kintsugi users. Whether you’re new to Kintsugi or an existing user preparing to explore advanced features, this tool is designed to make your journey smoother and more effective.

Looking ahead, we’re focused on continuously improving workflows, enhancing usability, and expanding features to ensure Test Organizations provide even greater value for your business. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and make compliance management seamless and stress-free.
