About Vertex
What does Vertex do?
Vertex is a comprehensive tax technology software solution that helps enterprises manage indirect tax and compliance across the entire lifecycle—from decision to defense. It connects tax determination, e-invoicing, reporting, filing, and audit readiness into one continuous flow, enabling businesses to turn complexity into control.
What problem does it solve?
Modern compliance requires more than point solutions. Vertex brings everything together in one system of control, helping organizations prove, defend, and improve outcomes across the indirect tax and compliance lifecycle. It reduces compliance risk by monitoring transactions and regulatory updates, and improves efficiency by automating manual tax tasks with AI.
Who is it for?
Vertex is built for large enterprises—like Walmart, Siemens, Ford, and Brückner Group—that operate across multiple jurisdictions and need robust, scalable tax compliance. It is not for small businesses or freelancers who need a simple, low-cost tax calculator.
Real use cases
Large retailers use Vertex to manage tax on marketplace transactions and grow their marketplace. Manufacturers migrating to SAP S/4HANA use Vertex to ensure seamless tax process transformation. Global companies use Vertex to scale tax compliance across countries like India, China, Canada, Mexico, and South America, as Ford did, with the confidence of true global reach.
