Workday gives you the ERP foundation. Innovate Tax brings the tax architecture, engine expertise and implementation experience to turn it into a robust global tax solution.
There is no universal answer. The right architecture depends on your countries, products, transaction flows, data, tax complexity and operating model. Innovate Tax assesses the requirement first, then helps you choose and implement the technology that fits.
We assess the tax functionality and data available within Workday and maximise supported native capability where it can satisfy the requirement.
For more complex determination requirements, a third-party tax engine can provide the specialist capability needed. Innovate Tax has direct Workday tax-engine implementation experience, including a world-first global Vertex rollout.
Workday tax automation is not simply a connector project. The tax result depends on whether the right transaction, customer, supplier, product, location and entity data reaches the tax logic at the right point in the process. We design the tax solution around those realities.
We translate legislation and business requirements into application-specific scenarios, identifying the data needed to determine the correct treatment.
Customers, suppliers, products, entities, registrations and locations must provide the right tax signals. We help find and fix the gaps.
We work across order to cash, procure to pay, intercompany, fixed assets, reporting, integrations and country-specific requirements.
We combine indirect tax, ERP, tax engine, data and implementation expertise under one roof. Our job is not to sell you the most software. It is to make tax work.
We assess native capability and third-party engines rather than assuming the answer before discovery starts.
Tax requirements sit at the centre of the design, rather than being discovered after the ERP architecture is already fixed.
The specialists involved in discovery stay close to the implementation, testing and go-live.
Understand the current ERP, tax landscape, countries, business flows, data and pain points.
Determine whether native functionality, a third-party engine or a hybrid architecture best fits the requirement.
Map tax scenarios to the exact data and determining factors available across the business process.
Configure the solution and integrations with controls, traceability and maintainability in mind.
Test tax scenarios, data, interfaces and end-to-end outcomes before cutover.
Keep the solution accurate as legislation, rates, business models and countries change.
6 countries initially. Built to scale globally.
Innovate Tax delivered what our published case study describes as believed to be the world's first Workday and Vertex integration for Snowflake, creating a scalable global tax solution and establishing a model for expansion into additional countries. Our current service material describes the programme as the world's first global rollout of Vertex with Workday ERP.
We understand the Workday data, integration and process decisions that determine whether tax automation succeeds.
We can assess native capability and specialist tax engines independently, then implement the route that fits the requirement.
Our experience is not theoretical. We have taken Workday tax-engine integration from design through implementation and global expansion.
Native Workday or a specialist engine? Start with the requirement, not the product.
Let Innovate Tax review your Workday tax requirements and show you what is possible, natively or with the right specialist engine.
