Sovos Named a Leader in European Compliant e-Invoicing in 2024 IDC MarketScape

Sovos' Global Expertise Empowers Multinational Companies to Navigate Tax and Regulatory Challenges

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sovos, the always-on compliance company, has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: European Compliant E-Invoicing 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #EUR151806424, September 2024).The report noted, “Having intensified its investment efforts to building a solution that consists of capabilities in CTC, SUT filing, and tax determination, Sovos has emerged as a trusted advisor that provides advisory services for other vendors in the e-invoicing space, in addition to customers.”

As more governments across Europe introduce mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting requirements, businesses operating across borders are under increased pressure to remain compliant. The report noted, “Sovos has its own compliance network that the vendor refers to as the "central nervous system" to its compliance cloud platform, the latter of which offers real-time reporting capabilities as a single and scalable solution.”

“We believe being named as a Leader by the IDC MarketScape is testament not only to the quality of products we provide, but also to the flexibility we offer businesses in what has become a highly complex and volatile industry," said Kevin Akeroyd, CEO at Sovos. “What separates Sovos from everyone else when it comes to e-invoicing is the share volume of transactions we process each year. We are in the multiple billions while many other providers are topping out only in the tens of millions.”

Key differentiators of Sovos’ approach to e-invoicing include:

• Offers e-invoicing compliance as a core component of Sovos Indirect Tax Suite, the only complete, global tax technology solution for Value Added Tax (VAT) and Sales and Use Tax (SUT) determination, e-invoicing, and filing.

• Drives process automation and operational efficiency through integration with more than 60 business process platforms, including ERP and supply chain management systems.
• Provides an end-to-end compliance solution, enabling businesses to maintain a consolidated, consistent experience across teams and regions.
