Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • When we were trying to pick the perfect tax software for managing our VAT, what really made Lovat stand out was their amazing support throughout the entire onboarding and account setup process. One of the coolest features they offer is the chance to chat live with a tax expert before you even buy the software. This was super helpful because we weren't sure if we needed VAT reporting or how to go about it. The Lovat manager was incredibly friendly and explained how their platform works, while also helping us choose the best pricing plan for our needs. Later on, a tax expert from Lovat patiently answered all our complicated questions. It's safe to say we felt really supported and confident in our decision to go with Lovat.
  • Filing declarations in Europe into countries we need is no longer a difficulty for us. The LOVAT solution covers all the necessary tax types. I was very pleased with the support team and the tax department, guys are polite and quick in their answers, and most importantly, we can entrust them with our tax issues in the EU.
  • I integrated my account with the Lovat platform and now I don't worry about taxes because it requires minimal involvement from me. It's really convenient and simplifies my business.
  • With the LOVAT all-in-one solution, we're able to perform key functions in relation to our US sales tax. Convenient threshold tracking function for each state, perfect design, online reporting plus tax corrections if needed. It all makes life easier.
  • Services are on really a high level. Many various options for e-commerce sellers, such as integrations within a few minutes, reports filing online, data storage and tax calculations for the needed countries.

Cons

  • After a certain period of time, the VAT numbers of my Business-Buyers get automatically archived, making it quite challenging to access them quickly in reports. Consequently, I have to submit a request to obtain them.
  • Mobile app version could be improved but it's not something from the category of critical cons, I believe that's all for now.
  • It would be great if a more user-friendly interface were developed for storing my paper letters from the tax. It's not very convenient for me to track them right now.
  • For some kinds of transactions we have to upload them manually, it's great that this option is also available, but it takes more time to complete this.
  • Not sure, but seems like some dashboard features may be improved further.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Sales tax software selection shouldn’t be taken lightly because of the impact on the business from a financial perspective. Going through that process with Vertex was eye opening. They were able to guide us down all the necessary paths to ensure that the system was set up correctly. So, getting them involved at the start prepared us for a successful integration. The steps to the integration were clear and precise. Our UAT didn’t see any hiccups which made the go live date happen sooner than expected. After going live is when some of the struggles a company could run into with software vendors. That isn’t the case with Vertex. We had questions and their responses were immediate and accurate. This brought comfort to management because nothing seems to be lingering. We have converted all our marketplaces along with our ERP to have one source of truth and we couldn’t be happier with that decision to go with Vertex.
  • Good solution to work with ERPs and billing systems. Reliable customer support. Had no issue with the software. Valuable price for the features.

Cons

  • Currently, there isn’t anything to dislike because they take on every challenge with a team of well knowledgeable staff.
  • It was difficult to setup everything and to use the software when we just installed it. If would be great if you offered a detailed guide how to use it.
