Vertex SMB, Net@Work Form Strategic Partnership

Vertex SMB, sales and use tax solutions provider for small and medium-sized business, and integrated business technology solutions provider and Sage Software business partner Net@Work announced a strategic partnership to bring a sales and use tax solution to the small and middle market.

Built on Vertex software, Vertex SMB TaxCentral provides small and medium-sized businesses with a solution that integrates with mid-market ERP systems and ecommerce platforms. Net@Work specializes in consulting and implementation of ERP, CRM, and HRMS solutions.

The sales and use tax solution requires no upfront investment, relying on a consumption model Alex Solomon, cofounder of Net@Work, described as a “life-changing business” for small businesses and the resellers on their accounts that, under this model, will be paid in perpetuity.

As sales tax becomes a necessity for many ecommerce companies, Net@Work saw the potential in working with Vertex to bring the solution to SMB clients, according to Solomon.

Vertex SMB, which serves the majority of the Fortune 500, also viewed the partnership as a great opportunity to break into the Sage ecosystem, according to Bradd Wildstein, director of channel sales. 

“Vertex SMB’s partnership with Net@Work allows us to provide clients with an impressive footprint within the technology and business solutions market,” stated David Henkin, vice president and general manager at Vertex SMB.  “As partners, Vertex SMB and Net@Work will deliver a market-leading solution with unparalleled expertise, customer service, and support to ensure our clients’ continued success.”

“We have long believed that a consumption model for sales tax is exactly what the SMB market needs.  This is why we are so excited to partner with Vertex SMB in bringing the quintessential enterprise sales tax solution to small and middle-market companies,” stated Solomon. “We are proud to be playing such an instrumental role in the Vertex SMB Sage launch and in making their solution an integral part of the Sage ecosystem.  In fact, we’ve made it a mission of ours, as we believe that Vertex SMB will be a game-changer for our business and for all partners that embrace it.”
