- **Monthly time saved:** 25+ hours
- **Workflow speed:** 10x faster
- **Penalties avoided:** Up to $40,000

Mindy Mae’s Market is a women’s clothing boutique selling apparel and
accessories through Shopify. In January 2025, the team switched from
Avalara to Kintsugi for simpler sales tax compliance and filing.

## When compliance takes over the workday

Every filing required detailed manual review. State-specific exceptions and
tax codes consumed hours that the finance team could have spent on strategic
work.

## A smoother switch

Kintsugi’s Shopify integration handles real-time tax calculation, nexus
monitoring, and reporting. Kintsugi also owns the filing process across the
states where Mindy Mae’s has nexus, while the dashboard keeps the team
informed about taxable transactions and taxes collected.

> “Switching to Kintsugi was a breeze. The transition was smooth, and overall,
> it's been a much better experience so far.”

## More time and confidence

The team saves more than 25 hours each month and increased workflow speed by
10x. Kintsugi also helped Mindy Mae’s avoid up to $40,000 in tax penalties,
giving the finance team more confidence that filings are accurate, deadlines
are met, and state requirements are handled.
