Case Study: Deako streamlines expense management with Torpago

Deako created the industry’s first plug-n-play light switch to make lighting customization more accessible

Deako, a Seattle-based electronics and IoT company that creates plug-and-play light switches, faced significant challenges with its manual expense reporting and reimbursement processes. As the company grew, these processes consumed substantial time and resources. Deako chose Torpago after a competitive review, attracted by its seamless QuickBooks Online integration and unlimited free virtual and physical cards.

Torpago provided a corporate card solution that immediately streamlined spending for Deako's 40+ employees, with virtual cards available on day one and physical cards arriving expedited within two business days. This eliminated manual expense reporting and created a scalable, "scale-proof" system that adapts to the company's growth. The partnership also led to product developments like an Okta integration. As a result, Deako can now make worry-free transactions and earn cash back on all purchases, allowing them to scale without being burdened by outdated financial processes.
