Real Life Users with Real Life Feedback

“TACS, LLC has transformed the way we manage sales tax in our vending and micro-market operations. Their platform is incredibly accurate and saves us countless hours each month. It's a must-have for anyone in the food vending industry!”

Vending Machine
Charles Rodney- Owner/Operator Venti Vending 

“I was one of the early adopters on the VendTax platform.  The team at TACS were able to find multiple products where I was applying the sales tax rate incorrectly.   They also discovered a rate discrepancy in another county I operate that resulted in a lower amount of sales tax due.  The saving in the first 4 months more than pays for the subscription to the platform.” 

Francis-Headshot
Francis Gradisher- Owner/Operator Apollo Beach Vending Co.

“We were one of the first beta clients with VendTax.  Even though we operate in a state with straight forward sales tax rules, there were products identified which had different ways on how sales tax was handled.  The software also helped identify missing information from our VMS, which reduced my monthly reconciliation and provided a more accurate sales report.”
