For wineries on the Avalara bev-alc product

Migrating off Avalara for Bev-Alc? Ratify is the upgrade path.

We're building the compliance intelligence platform the orphaned bev-alc segment needs: registration-aware tax, real-time order gating, and grounded answers, with primary-source citations on every claim.

The carve-out, in context

Performant Capital's October 21, 2025 acquisition of Avalara's bev-alc assets, which explicitly excluded AvaTax for Beverage Alcohol per the press release, stranded thousands of wineries on an orphaned, deprioritized tax product. The resulting churn window runs roughly from mid-2026 through October 2026.

What we replace

Three surfaces in the Ratify roadmap map directly to what the Avalara bev-alc product was doing. Each is in flight at a different stage. Read each linked roadmap for current ship state.

  • Registration-aware destination tax (F2)

    The Ratify tax engine is in development. It targets sub-100ms responses with a statute-grade citation on every rate it returns.

    See the tax engine roadmap →

  • Real-time order compliance gate (F1)

    Order-time eligibility gating: does this address, this product, this volume comply with the destination state's DTC rules? Planned.

    Browse per-state coverage →

  • Grounded, cited compliance answers (F8)

    Natural-language compliance assistant with citations on every answer. Coming soon. Pre-launch, the marketing site already grounds every claim it makes in a primary-source citation.

Filing is separate: not in any current Ratify tier

Ratify replaces what Avalara's bev-alc tax product does: registration-aware destination tax calculation, real-time order gating, and grounded, cited compliance answers. Managed tax filing is a separate add-on planned for a later phase and is NOT included in any current Ratify tier. If you currently rely on Avalara or Sovos for managed filing, you will need a separate filing provider or in-house process during the migration window. Bottom line: filing is separate from what Ratify replaces today.
