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 for wineries on the carved-out bev-alc product: destination tax calculation, 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 compliance assets explicitly excluded AvaTax for Beverage Alcohol per the press release. Wineries on that tax product now face a migration decision; the resulting churn window runs roughly from mid-2026 through October 2026.

Source: Performant Capital acquires Avalara's beverage-alcohol compliance assets (Business Wire, October 21, 2025). The broader AvaTax SaaS product remains active. Only the bev-alc compliance assets were carved out under the Performant deal.

Since the carve-out, Avalara's own beverage-alcohol product page redirects to bevlogic.com. If you are on that product, the tool you are migrating off is the one now branded BevLogic; this page is about the same book of business either way.

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.

  • Destination tax calculation

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

  • Real-time order compliance gate

    Order-time eligibility gating: does this address, this product, this volume comply with the destination state's DTC rules? The cited eligibility check is live today in the storefront embed for closed-beta tenants. Blocking the order at checkout is the planned part.

  • Grounded, cited compliance answers

    Natural-language compliance assistant with citations on every answer — live today. The marketing site grounds every claim it makes in a primary-source citation the same way.

Filing is separate: not part of Ratify today

Ratify is building the replacement for what Avalara's bev-alc tax product does. What Ratify replaces today is the cited compliance-intelligence layer: per-state DTC rules, rates, and shipping-eligibility answers with primary-source citations. The destination tax calculation is in development; the eligibility check behind the real-time order compliance gate is live today in the storefront embed for closed-beta tenants, and blocking the order at checkout is the planned part — the cards above track each surface's ship state. Managed tax filing is a separate add-on planned for a later phase and is NOT part of Ratify today — the product is free during beta, and paid tiers will be announced before GA. 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.
