Simplifying Global Tax Compliance with Avalara’s Workday Integration
Ventus partnered with Avalara to create a custom 2D animated explainer video that simplifies how their Workday integration helps businesses streamline global tax compliance. Avalara’s automation solutions reduce manual tax calculations, improve accuracy, and ensure compliance with VAT, sales tax, and GST regulations across various jurisdictions.
The video was designed for Workday Rising, an event attended by CIOs, CFOs, and compliance officers from mid-market and enterprise-level companies. Ventus’s motion graphics expertise helped Avalara present its automated tax compliance platform in a way that was visually engaging and easy to understand.
Making Complex Tax Compliance Easy to Understand with Motion Graphics
Avalara’s integration with Workday enables businesses to automate tax calculations, eliminating the need for manual effort. However, tax compliance is a highly technical field, requiring clear and engaging storytelling.
To ensure Avalara’s message resonated with both high-level executives and broader audiences, Ventus:
- Used custom 2D animation to visualize Avalara’s automated compliance workflow.
- Illustrated a futuristic cityscape, representing global connectivity and automation.
- Created animated characters to humanize the tax compliance process and keep the content engaging.
The video simplifies complex tax workflows into a concise, visually compelling animation that highlights the ease and efficiency of Avalara’s automated solutions.

Ventus’s Approach: Tailored Motion Graphics to Fit Avalara’s Vision
For this project, Ventus worked closely with Avalara to ensure the video’s narrative, visuals, and tone matched their brand identity.
Key elements of our creative approach included:
- A script written by Haley, breaking down Avalara’s integration in a clear and engaging way.
- Seamless match cuts and smooth transitions, making the animation visually fluid.
- A high-energy pace, aligning with Avalara’s brand style while keeping viewers engaged.
Avalara was deeply involved throughout the project, especially in refining the wording and messaging. This collaboration helped ensure the final video matched their exact vision for the Workday Rising conference.

Delivering Results Through Dynamic Visuals and Fluid Transitions
To maintain visual engagement, the Avalara explainer video incorporated:
- A futuristic cityscape, symbolizing Avalara’s innovative and global approach.
- Flying drones and automated workflows, visually representing seamless tax compliance automation.
