Case Study: T3 Micro achieves paperless payables and 50% reduction in manual work with Tipalti

T3 Micro Goes Completely Paperless with Automation

T3 Micro, a Venice, CA–based maker of advanced hair tools in the manufacturing & wholesale space, faced a growing finance bottleneck as it expanded globally. The finance team was fully paper-based—printing and routing invoices for in-person approval—which led to missed payments, strained vendor relationships, and an inability to scale without adding headcount.

By implementing Tipalti (integrated with NetSuite), T3 Micro went completely paperless and automated payables with one-click approvals, centralized workflows, and multi-currency payment capabilities. The change eliminated the need for additional finance hires, reduced manual work by 50%, streamlined international payments, and freed the team to focus on higher-value work like FP&A while vendors were onboarded quickly and reliably.
