## The Problem

Sales Tax Analysts field the same 'where is my return' / 'did you get my docs' emails all day, and the ones who don't get answers within a few hours churn to a faster firm.

## What We Build in Sovos

AI drafts personalized status replies from the live matter state in Avalara, surfaces anything the client is blocking, and escalates tax-sensitive questions to a human — response time drops from hours to minutes. Purpose-built for teams running Sovos — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Sovos Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Sovos configuration.** We map the specific Sovos objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your indirect tax practice.
2. **Build on the Sovos API or agent.** Integration happens inside Sovos — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Sovos with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
