KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 26, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Vertex, the global indirect tax and compliance company, has launched Vertex Sōl™, a new platform designed to streamline and automate the tax and compliance process for businesses. The platform integrates AI capabilities to provide a connected, governed record from the initial tax decision through audit defense, aiming to give tax professionals more control and visibility over their work.
Vertex Sōl™ is the latest addition to Vertex’s suite of solutions, which are trusted by more than 60% of the Fortune 500 companies. The platform leverages Vertex Intelligence™, which brings together trusted tax expertise, global regulatory intelligence, and recommendations to support tax professionals in making informed decisions.
The launch of Vertex Sōl™ comes as enterprises reassess their trust in AI for tax and compliance. A Vertex-commissioned survey, conducted by Emerald Research Group in 2026, found that 81% of respondents said they would only be comfortable adopting AI in compliance if they had full visibility into how automated decisions were made and could override or reverse any action at any time. This survey was conducted among 402 decision makers, with 302 from the U.S. and 100 from Germany, at enterprises with at least $150 million in revenue and authority over enterprise tax and compliance software.
Vertex Sōl™ is designed to support graduated levels of trust, allowing tax teams to determine when AI recommends a course of action, assists with the work, or acts within defined controls they set. At every level, teams retain insight into how decisions are made and the ability to review, override, or reverse actions. This feature is crucial as trust in AI remains a key concern for businesses.
Christopher Young, CEO of Vertex, emphasized the importance of visibility and control in the tax and compliance process.
The platform connects work across tax determination, certificate management, e-invoicing, indirect tax close, reporting and filing, and audit and notice management. The resulting connected record will help teams trace outcomes back to the original transaction and tax decision, making them easier to explain, govern, and defend. This feature is particularly useful when a rule changes, before filing, or when an auditor calls, as it streamlines the process and enhances transparency.
Industry analysts expect visibility and control to shape how enterprises choose AI for tax and compliance.
In conclusion, Vertex Sōl™ represents a significant step forward in the tax and compliance landscape, offering a comprehensive solution that balances the benefits of AI with the need for human oversight and control. As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of tax and compliance, Vertex Sōl™ aims to provide the tools and transparency necessary for success.
