Case Study: Sensei achieves 40 hours/month accounts payable savings and scalable finance operations with Tipalti

Sensei Future-Proofs Financial Operations & Controls with Automation

Sensei, a health and wellness company (HQ Santa Monica) that runs sustainable farms and retreats, needed a scalable finance solution to keep its accounting team lean as the business grew. Their challenge was replacing a limited payments platform (Bill.com) with a system that integrated with NetSuite, handled complex and international vendor payments, increased visibility, and eliminated manual AP work so they wouldn’t have to hire additional finance headcount.

Tipalti automated Sensei’s end-to-end AP — from OCR-based invoice routing and approver workflows to international payments, PO matching, and amortization schedules — so bills arrive in the CFO’s dashboard ready for approval. The result: a 40-hour monthly reduction in AP workload, no need to add finance staff, more on-time payments and vendor control, and freed-up team capacity for higher-value work and career growth.
