Global irrigation systems and agribusiness company modernizes operations with TTAX’s Tax Reform Suite and AMS Support

A global leader in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative micro-irrigation solutions, the company in question serves large-scale agricultural projects and distributors throughout the national territory. With a complex supply chain involving the movement of industrial inputs and high-tech hydraulic components, precision in the issuance and receipt of tax documents is a critical pillar to prevent production line halts or delivery delays to the field.

Operating on the SAP platform, the company faced the challenge of keeping its system updated in the face of constant changes in Brazilian legislation, while also seeking greater automation in its goods inbound workflow.

The Challenge

The Challenge

To maintain the high performance of its manufacturing plants and distribution centers, the client identified three urgent needs within its tax governance:

  1. Lack of Specialized Technical Resources: The internal IT team needed a robust partner to ensure the continuous support and maintenance of the SAP fiscal module, avoiding operational bottlenecks and accumulated support tickets.

  2. Manual and Inefficient Inbound Processing: The process for receiving, verifying, and booking supplier tax documents (NF-e, NFS-e, and CT-e) required extensive manual effort, creating risks of tax errors and delays in physical goods receipt.

  3. The Imminence of the Tax Reform: The urgent need to prepare the SAP ecosystem for the arrival of the Dual VAT framework (IBS and CBS) and Split Payment, ensuring that pricing rules and ancillary obligations were ready for the transition without impacting the business.

The Solution

The Solution

TTAX designed and implemented a comprehensive strategy, combining native software solutions with a high-level application maintenance and support service:

1. AMS Support – SAP (Application Management Services)

To mitigate downtime risks and ensure continuous system evolution, the company contracted TTAX’s AMS Support. With a team of experts dedicated to the SAP fiscal ecosystem, the client now benefits from rapid incident resolution, predictive maintenance, and preventive regulatory updates, freeing the internal IT team to focus on the core business.

2. Inbound Automation with Easy4 (DF-e Inbound)

The bottleneck in goods inbound processing was resolved with the implementation of the Easy4 module for SAP Inbound. The tool completely automated the capture, recipient acknowledgment, SEFAZ validation, and pre-booking of supplier invoices directly within SAP. This ensured total compliance even before the truck unloaded in the factory yard.

3. TaxOrion Fiscal Solution and Messaging

On the outbound and tax governance side, TTAX deployed the TaxOrion Fiscal Solution in tandem with its Messaging system. Developed natively within the ABAP/Fiori environment, TaxOrion centralized tax rules transparently, while the messaging tool guaranteed a fast, uninterrupted flow for invoice authorization with tax authorities.

4. Tax Reform-Ready Fiscal Suite

This entire ecosystem was implemented with the Tax Reform in mind. The fiscal suite provided by TTAX ensures that the multinational’s SAP environment is fully equipped to calculate, audit, and report the new taxes (IBS and CBS) natively, eliminating the need for future complex customization projects or additional development costs.

The Result

The Result

The technological shift delivered by TTAX brought predictability, security, and automation to the irrigation giant:

  • Inbound Productivity: With Easy4, the time spent verifying and entering tax documents dropped drastically, reducing booking errors to nearly zero.

  • Stability and Peace of Mind with AMS: Specialized support minimized system downtime caused by fiscal incidents, ensuring that billing operations run without friction.

  • Future Compliance Guaranteed: The company strictly complies with current tax authority obligations and already stands ahead of its competitors in the market, with an SAP environment fully structured and prepared for the Tax Reform transition.

  • Unified User Experience: Operating 100% within the SAP Fiori standard, employees adopted the new tools immediately, eliminating the need for complex training sessions on new software.
