Sovos built its name on compliance. CereTax built the future of it.
See why more tax, finance, and IT teams are leaving legacy tax engines for CereTax — the cloud-native, GIS-powered sales tax automation platform that actually scales with your business.
Sovos helped define early digital tax compliance. But its patchwork systems can’t keep up with how businesses operate today.
Disconnected modules. Slower updates. These aren’t minor inconveniences, they're signs of an aging ecosystem.
CereTax was built to solve what Sovos can’t, delivering real-time accuracy powered by embedded GIS technology, seamless integrations that actually stay stable, faster implementation with continuous updates, and proactive, human support from experts who understand your industry. When accuracy, uptime, and audibility matter, legacy tools just don’t cut it anymore.

CereTax is the only tax engine with native GIS shapefile logic, not ZIP lookups. Every rate is sourced from real jurisdiction boundaries, not estimates.
When one property spans two tax zones, most systems guess. CereTax knows. Every calculation is rooftop-true and audit-ready.
No static tables, no batch lags. CereTax performs live spatial calculations to determine the exact jurisdiction at the moment of sale.

Every transaction carries a map-level audit trail, so finance teams can see and prove where each tax came from—instantly.
Unlike Sovos, CereTax’s API-first framework keeps ERP and billing systems synced without surprises.
A single, scalable architecture processes millions of transactions in real time: no latency, no downtime, no legacy drag.
