However, their approach to logistics and commerce introduced a significant challenge: managing the complexity of multi-state sales tax compliance.

Challenge

Manual reconciliation of sales tax data

Before adopting TaxCloud, the team struggled to balance the demands of their unique dual-order system, encompassing bulk orders through QuickBooks Online and e-commerce transactions via Shopify.

The manual process of reconciling sales tax data from these two systems was not only cumbersome but also financially draining, as they had to rely heavily on external consultants to bridge the gaps in their workflow.

Solution

Seamless sales tax reporting with TaxCloud’s pre-built integrations

Worx Printing Cooperative partnered with TaxCloud to simplify their sales tax processes. TaxCloud’s integration with both QuickBooks Online and Shopify proved instrumental in consolidating sales tax data from their diverse order types into a unified, accurate report.

This “fruit basket of sales tax,” as Kevin O’Brien aptly described it, allowed Worx Printing to reconcile their bulk and e-commerce orders efficiently while maintaining their focus on their core mission.

Kevin also highlighted TaxCloud’s promise to “take on what small businesses simply can’t do properly,” alleviating the burden of sales tax compliance and enabling Worx Printing to continue providing ethical merchandise without compromise.

Saving money with TaxCloud’s SST program

For businesses like Worx Printing Cooperative, selling into multiple states means navigating complex tax requirements. With TaxCloud’s participation in the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) program, Worx Printing has been able to significantly reduce costs while ensuring compliance.

As a Certified Service Provider under SST, TaxCloud offers simplified tax codes, bulk electronic filing, and services like free registration, filing, and audit support in participating states.

For Kevin O’Brien and his team, TaxCloud’s SST support is turning a daunting compliance process into an affordable, efficient solution.

Results

Less time on admin work, more focus on business success

Since implementing TaxCloud, Worx Printing has experienced a significant reduction in the administrative workload tied to sales tax management. TaxCloud’s ability to integrate seamlessly with their existing systems has allowed the cooperative to focus more on delivering high-quality merchandise while upholding their commitment to fair labor practices.

Kevin underscored the cooperative’s dedication to paving the way for other growing businesses seeking affordable and effective sales tax solutions.

Future

Continue to refine and elevate operations

As Worx Printing continues to refine its operations, they remain hopeful about the improvements TaxCloud will bring to their sales tax compliance processes.

This partnership serves as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared values, showcasing how growing businesses can overcome complex challenges with the right tools and support.
