Fexa builds enterprise CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) software purpose-built for facility management across large, multi-entity organizations. As the company expanded its customer base and geographic footprint, its legacy sales tax solution couldn't keep up. The company’s finance team was flying blind on compliance risk and spending time on manual processes that should have been automated. Fexa needed a platform it could trust to just work.

Inherited compliance chaos and the pressure to fix it fast
When Chris Weber joined Fexa as Controller, he inherited more than a new role. He inherited a sales tax setup that was breaking down. Fexa had been using a very manual legacy tax solution and the configuration was a mess. Certain states were active when they shouldn't have been. Others that required compliance were turned off. The interface offered little in the way of guidance or alerts, and the team had no dedicated support to help make sense of it.
The risk was real and immediate. In one case, Chris identified an invoice that had triggered clear nexus exposure in Maryland, but the legacy platform's dashboard showed no alerts. As he put it: “I went in there and it had basically nothing telling me we were still exposed. I just didn’t feel good about this at all.”
Beyond the blind spots, the operational burden was significant. Sales tax returns were being filed manually, state by state. There was no automated reconciliation, no clear sub-ledger view, and no obvious path to a cleaner process — just a growing list of things to check and recheck every month.
Adding urgency to the situation: Fexa had recently expanded its international footprint, and its existing tools had no capability to support global compliance. Chris had been through this exact scenario before. At his previous company, he'd cycled through multiple legacy tax solutions, only to hit the same international wall each time. That's when he first found Anrok.
