Nuvo Technologies announced a new integration with tax compliance software provider Avalara.
The integration will give B2B suppliers the ability to process credit applications and tax compliance in a single workflow. Current Nuvo customers can access the integration as of May 13.
“Onboarding and tax compliance have historically lived in separate systems, owned by different teams, and connected by manual work,” Nuvo chief executive officer Sid Malladi said in a written statement. “Together with Avalara, Nuvo is collapsing that gap into a single workflow, giving suppliers a faster path to revenue without introducing compliance risk.”
Nuvo specializes in helping ecommerce platforms onboard new sellers. Last May, Nuvo raised $34 million to expand its U.S. operations and build connections with more commerce platforms.
How the Nuvo Avalara integration works
When a new customer fills out a credit application inside Nuvo, the system automatically reads any tax documents the customer uploads.
It then identifies the document type, the state it covers and its expiration date. Documents that pass validation are sent directly into Avalara’s exemption certificate system. There, they are stored and linked to that customer’s account.
On Avalara’s side, the exemption certificate management product stores, tracks and validates certificates across jurisdictions using artificial intelligence (AI). The product checks whether a current certificate is on file before tax is applied to a transaction.
That means that a supplier can finish approving a new customer and have the tax paperwork sorted and filed before the first order ships, without anyone manually reviewing a document.
Early customer results showed shorter onboarding times and better preparation for potential audits, Nuvo said.
“By integrating with Nuvo, we’re bringing tax compliance into the earliest stages of the customer lifecycle, enabling businesses to onboard faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence across jurisdictions,” said Meg Higgins, senior vice president of global partners at Avalara, in a released statement.
Avalara’s approach to tax software
Avalara supplies tax software to online retailers using certain ecommerce platforms. Those platforms include Shopify, BigCommerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Meanwhile, it has been investing heavily in AI.
In October 2025, Avalara launched a suite of AI agents for automating taxes and other regulatory compliance. The agents are designed to autonomously recommend actions and work within merchant ecommerce systems. There, they are intended to stay in compliance without the need for manual intervention.
Then, in April 2026, Avalara introduced a new integration. That option uses Fiserv’s Clover to help merchants automatically set aside sales tax and track tax obligations. The tax software provider described the integration as “sales tax on autopilot.”
“Agentic compliance marks a fundamental shift from workflows supported by AI to workflows executed by AI,” said Jayme Fishman, executive vice president, chief strategy and product officer at Avalara. “By embedding AI directly into the system of record, Avalara enables organizations to operate continuously, reduce risk, and have greater confidence in every transaction.”
