Lextron Animal Health Selects Sabrix to Consolidate its Sales and Use Tax Operations


Extensive SAP expertise, access to latest tax data and trusted technology platform among key reasons company chooses Sabrix

SAN RAMON, CA – September 1, 2009 – Sabrix, Inc., a leading provider of transaction tax management for companies of all sizes, today announced that Lextron Animal Health (http://www.lextronanimalhealth.com), a leading distributor for all major brand animal health products, has selected Sabrix’s Application Suite to consolidate its sales and use tax operations.

Prior to selecting Sabrix, Lextron used a custom-built solution, however, as the company grew, the system was not able to scale to meet the thousand of tax rate and tax jurisdiction changes a year, and the abundant product taxability rules unique to Lextron’s industry. As a result, the company decided to search for a best-of-breed technology platform that would allow them to consolidate their operations while leveraging existing technology and processes, and achieve a higher degree of compliance.

“We expect to achieve compliance with confidence faster and with more consistency than ever before by using the Sabrix Application Suite, a trusted tax platform used by Global Fortune 500 companies,” said Tim Hays, Director of IT for Lextron. “After a full evaluation of the market, Sabrix’s ability to rapidly deploy its industry-proven tax platform, coupled with the company’s deep SAP expertise and access to the latest tax data were among the key reasons we decided to go with them.”

“When companies consolidate their sales and use tax operations they are able to more efficiently achieve a higher degree of compliance,” said Pam Kostka, SVP of Corporate Marketing, Sabrix. “And because Sabrix already works with a growing roster of animal health care products and services companies to achieve their transaction tax compliance objectives, Lextron will have the added benefit of our vertical-specific expertise.”

Anticipated benefits using Sabrix include:

  • Ability to automatically handle robust customer and product taxability rules
  • Access to reliable and relevant tax data for better and timelier decisions
  • Seamless integration with finance systems and existing SAP ERP platform for a higher degree of compliance
  • Rapid deployment of trusted tax platform used by leading global companies
