Rob Hankey, Founder and CEO at Intelliworx"We have been providing onboarding to the federal government for the past 12 years and our biggest pain point, by far, was maintaining the W-4 tax forms. With Symmetry Software’s product, we no longer have that problem!"

Both versions provide the same compliant forms product. The difference lies in deployment, testing, and customization. The Web Application allows you to receive transactions via postback, email them, or print them out. The API integrates into your system, fitting seamlessly with your existing processes.
