Whatashort Saves Countless Hours and Achieves Seamless Sales Tax Compliance with Kintsugi Sheets

Whatashort is a groundbreaking short film platform dedicated to celebrating indie filmmakers from around the globe. Its vision was clear -- to create a bridge between passionate storytellers and enthusiastic audiences, curating award-winning shorts and fostering a vibrant community for creative expression.

As Whatashort rapidly gained international traction, they realized that managing sales tax for their digital products across diverse regions was becoming increasingly unmanageable.

Challenge: Whatashort finds managing sales tax compliance a burden as its market grows

As Whatashort expanded its reach, the intricacies of managing sales tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions became a significant burden. Handling varying tax rates, jurisdictional rules, and compliance manually was time-consuming and prone to errors.

Whatashort found themselves overwhelmed, spending countless hours trying to keep up with the ever-changing tax regulations while striving to grow their platform. They were drowning in tax tasks, which took their focus away from what truly matters—supporting filmmakers and engaging in the community.

Whatashort initially experimented with well-known sales tax automation solutions like TaxJar, Avalara, and Vertex. While these platforms offered robust features, their implementation was labor-intensive, and the lack of seamless integration with Whatashort's existing systems created more frustration than relief.

The constant need for technical support and the inflexibility of these tools made them unsuitable for Whatashort's unique requirements.
