Is anyone doing a fair amount of business with Avalara these days? Please let me know. tia.

Someone must be. Didn't they just go public? ??

Filed I hear, not the IPO yet.

I have two Avalara users. In the past I've had customers quote the solution but there needs to be a fair amount of pain (or perceived pain) for them to make the jump due to cost. The last one that I sold (maybe a year ago) Avalara only commissioned certain portions and it was a one-time commission. Aside from recommending it when there's a clear need I don't find an incentive to get more involved or enthusiastic.

We've sold 15 or so, the last one in February. It's a great product but can be costly as @WayneSchulz stated above. We've quoted several more but they didn't feel the pain was great enough. It's usually when they get tired of updating rates that they make the jump.

We've got 2 or 3 that use it to the full extent. Amazon (standard and prime) as well as website orders that would be ridiculous to try and track. Also Use Tax for free promotional goods and such.

Thank you everyone, great feedback.
