How it works
One request. Three systems. Zero manual work.
Spendflo sits between your tools and orchestrates the entire procurement journey — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Request Submitted
One transaction. Full tax compliance. Zero manual calculation. Spendflo connects Avalara and NetSuite so every approved purchase is automatically tax-calculated and posted to the correct GL account.

What Spendflo does
The procurement layer NetSuite and Avalara were missing
Avalara calculates your taxes. NetSuite records your financials. Spendflo manages the procurement workflows in between - intake, approvals, tax validation, and GL posting.
AI-Powered Intake
Anyone submits a procurement request in plain language. Spendflo categorizes it, triggers Avalara tax validation, and routes it to the correct approver - before anything posts to NetSuite.
Spendflo replaces manual intake
Auto-Route with Avalara Tax Context
Spendflo pulls tax codes, jurisdiction data, and exemption certificates from Avalara to pre-fill every procurement request - ensuring compliance at the point of approval, not after.
Avalara data, zero manual tax lookup
PO Auto-Creation in NetSuite
Once approved, Spendflo creates the PO in NetSuite with the correct GL code, vendor master, and Avalara-validated tax calculations - automatically. No manual tax entry ever.
NetSuite PO, tax-compliant and auto-generated
Unified Vendor Tax Records
Vendor tax certificates and exemption statuses managed in Avalara are automatically linked to vendor records in NetSuite through Spendflo. One compliant vendor master.
Spendflo keeps them in sync

No structured approval workflow before transactions post to NetSuite
Compliance gaps between Avalara tax records and NetSuite GL entries
Avalara tax validation triggered automatically at point of approval
Exemption certificates linked to vendor records in NetSuite via Spendflo
Tax errors flagged before any transaction posts to NetSuite
Structured approval workflows with full compliance audit trail
Tax records and GL entries always aligned across Avalara and NetSuite
Testimonials
We were catching tax errors in NetSuite weeks after transactions had already been posted. Spendflo now validates every purchase through Avalara before it reaches NetSuite. Our audit prep went from weeks to hours. - Tax Director, E-Commerce Enterprise

Common questions about
Spendflo + NetSuite + Salesforce

Does Spendflo replace Avalara or NetSuite?

No. Spendflo works as the procurement orchestration layer between Avalara and NetSuite. Avalara continues to handle tax compliance. NetSuite remains your ERP. Spendflo ensures every transaction is tax-validated before it posts.
