Path to Global Compliance
As sales expanded globally, Named Collective faced complex tax compliance across multiple regions. Entering the U.S. required an EIN and triggered sales tax obligations in over 17 states, each with unique rules and filing schedules. In the EU, growth necessitated IOSS registration to manage VAT efficiently across member states. Managing these obligations manually risked errors and penalties, so Named Collective sought a unified, scalable solution to streamline global compliance.

Key strengths included:
- Real-time compliance monitoring through an intuitive dashboard.
