Challenge

Manual invoice processing led to lost payments and strained vendor relationships.

Results

T3 Micro reduced manual work by 50%, eliminated the need for more finance headcount, and streamlined international payments in multiple currencies.

The Challenge

Manual Processes Hindered Efficiency and Global Growth

T3 Micro, a California-based company, has become known for its advanced heat styling tech, which allows anybody to be beautiful without compromising their healthy hair. Initially relying on entirely manual finance operations, T3 Micro printed all invoices and delivered them in person for review, leading to critical payments getting lost and unnecessary strain on vendor relationships. As the company expanded internationally, managing foreign currencies and hundreds of invoices across different time zones became unmanageable.

It wasn’t a good process for us. We move very quickly as an organization, and once we went global, we couldn’t manage the added complexity.

The Solution

Automated Accounts Payable Workflows With Tipalti Accounts Payable

Through partners at NetSuite, T3 Micro discovered Tipalti Accounts Payable and appreciated how efficiently the platform integrated with its existing ERP. The implementation of Tipalti automated invoice processing, routing invoices to the correct approver, and saving hours on the month-end close. The platform provided greater visibility into payment schedules and centralized operations, eliminating the need to toggle between international banking sites. 

Tipalti makes everybody’s life easier and enables us to move away from multiple platforms. In our business, you might need a check on a payment immediately— something always comes up. Tipalti makes this easy to handle and allows my team to be partners to the rest of the organization.
