Case Study: Tamara Mellon achieves streamlined AP and saves time and money on international payments with Bill.com

Tamara Mellon Steps Up to Strong Demand with Bill.com

Tamara Mellon is a direct-to-consumer luxury footwear brand that saw sales surge over 130% as it scaled handcrafted shoes from Italian factories, a single flagship store, and digital concierge services. Rapid growth created a finance challenge: the company needed a more efficient bookkeeping and payments workflow to handle increasing volumes without expanding headcount.

Tamara Mellon implemented Bill.com for accounts payable, accounts receivable and international payments, automating invoice processing, storing documentation, and routing approvals by department and dollar amount. The change streamlined roughly 100+ monthly invoices (including ~30 euro payments to Italy), eliminated wire fees, reduced approval times, saved at least four hours per week (about five days per month), kept AP headcount flat, and strengthened vendor relationships.
