Dallas's #1AI-Powered ERP

The 8.25% most Dallas businesses charge is really four rates stacked together: the 6.25% state rate plus city, county and transit district taxes that top out at 2%. Ship to a customer in Frisco, Arlington or an unincorporated part of Collin County and the local portion changes. Texas is an origin-based state for in-state sales, which is the opposite of most of the country, and the Comptroller expects the return to break tax down by local jurisdiction. Tellency assigns the right combined rate per transaction from the ship-from and ship-to addresses, tracks exempt sales with resale and exemption certificates on file, and produces the Texas sales and use tax return from the ledger.

Texas has no personal or corporate income tax, which keeps payroll simpler than in California or New York. What it has instead is the franchise (margin) tax: businesses above the revenue threshold file a report every year, and the margin calculation depends on choosing between cost of goods sold, compensation and a flat percentage deduction. Getting that right depends on having clean COGS and payroll totals from the ledger. Tellency keeps cost of goods sold, compensation and revenue in the same books so the margin computation is a report, and it handles Texas Workforce Commission unemployment tax and federal withholding on every pay run.

Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Arlington and Fort Worth are one market and one commute, so a DFW business rarely stays in one building. That means live stock across sites, transfers between a warehouse near DFW Airport and a showroom in Uptown, location-level margins and a single consolidated month-end. Tellency's inventory, POS and finance modules share one ledger. A transfer is one transaction, a location P&L is a filter, and the consolidated close does not require re-keying anything.

DFW is one of the largest inland distribution hubs in the country, and Richardson's Telecom Corridor and the Plano and Frisco corporate campuses fill the region with technology and services firms. Distributors need purchase orders, receiving, bin-level inventory and customer-specific pricing. Services firms need project costing, time and billing against contracts. Tellency covers both in one system, and the same books handle a distributor that also runs a will-call counter, or a services firm that also sells hardware.
