Computer Generated Solutions, Inc. (CGS), a global leader in supply chain management software, today announced a native integration between its BlueCherry® platform and Avalara, a leader in modern compliance automation software, offering the most advanced tax and compliance platform powered by AI. The partnership delivers a powerful solution for fashion, apparel, and consumer goods brands looking to simplify complex tax compliance, reduce risk, and boost operational efficiency across all sales channels.
With the integration of Avalara’s AI-infused AvaTax platform, BlueCherry ERP users can automate real-time tax calculations, manage exemption certificates, and streamline filings across multiple jurisdictions, both domestically and internationally. This reduces reliance on manual processes and costly third-party consultants, enabling brands to focus more on growth and innovation.
According to a recent Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Avalara1, over three years, a composite organization utilizing tax automation tools saved $150,000 annually, improved audit readiness by 85%, and reduced hundreds of hours of manual effort—critical advantages in today’s rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
“As global trade uncertainty intensifies, many fashion and apparel brands face mounting compliance risk, often without realizing it,” said Paul Magel, President, CGS. “The partnership we've built with Avalara enables BlueCherry customers to stay compliant, reduce risk, and remove friction in their financial operations, so they can focus on growing and managing their business.”
“Avalara's AI-first vision is transforming tax and compliance into a strategic advantage for businesses, offering a broad range of intelligent solutions that reduce complexity and manual work, and help businesses scale with confidence — no matter where they operate,” said Meg Higgins, SVP, Global Partners at Avalara. “We’re proud to partner with BlueCherry to help fashion and consumer goods brands scale confidently, stay ahead of regulatory complexity, and focus on serving their customers.”
