Challenge: Managing complex sales tax across platforms

LivEase, a popular provider of stylish home improvement accessories, has built a loyal customer base of over 18,000 shoppers by selling through platforms like Shopify, Etsy, and Square. However, their rapid growth presented challenges in managing sales tax compliance across multiple states. The 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. ruling required them to monitor and manage tax obligations in various jurisdictions, each with its own rules and thresholds.

With their team stretched thin by manual tax calculations and regulatory updates, it became clear that LivEase needed a scalable, automated solution to keep up with their growing operations and ensure compliance.

Solution: Kintsugi’s seamless integration and tax automation

LivEase turned to Kintsugi, a leading sales tax automation platform designed for ecommerce businesses. Kintsugi’s software integrated seamlessly with their online platforms, automating sales tax calculations, tracking multi-state tax obligations, and filing taxes accurately. The platform’s real-time updates ensured compliance with constantly changing tax regulations, freeing LivEase from the burden of manual tracking and filing.

Kintsugi’s advanced tools, like economic nexus tracking and automated exemption management, significantly reduced the risk of non-compliance. The platform also streamlined back sales tax management through Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (VDAs), helping LivEase avoid penalties and maintain good standing across jurisdictions.

Impact: More time, fewer errors, and continued growth

Significant time reduction for sales tax compliance: By implementing Kintsugi, LivEase achieved a 70–80% reduction in the time spent managing sales tax compliance. Tasks that previously took days were now completed with a few clicks, allowing the team to focus on scaling their product line and enhancing customer experiences.

Accurate calculations. Kintsugi’s AI-driven calculations ensure that tax rates are applied correctly to each jurisdiction, eliminating the guesswork and giving LivEase the confidence that they are safe from fines and penalties due to incorrect calculations.

Effortless automation. Kintsugi’s automation not only reduced the likelihood of errors in filing their sales taxes, it ensures LivEase files on time. Everything is automated from monitoring economic nexus, registration and filing, so LivEase can focus on what matters most for its growth.

Kintsugi’s automation also drastically reduced filing errors, ensuring accurate and timely compliance with multi-state tax laws. With insights from KintsugiSheets, LivEase could track tax liabilities in real time, enabling proactive decision-making and smoother operations.

As LivEase continues to expand, Kintsugi remains a crucial partner in managing their tax obligations. The software’s seamless integration, real-time compliance updates, and powerful reporting tools empower the company to scale confidently while keeping sales tax compliance stress-free.
