Challenge
Like many other startups, Treetoscope has a small finance team and outsourced bookkeeping, making it challenging to effectively manage finances and organize invoice processing in a way that ensures data visibility and saves time.
When Galit Lin Machloof, VP of Finance, joined Treetoscope, most of the internal accounting work was still done manually, significantly overburdening the management team. Their biggest pain point was the lack of a structured invoice approval workflow.
At the time, Treetoscope was managing around 50 vendors without clear visibility or an efficient process. With the accounting function entirely outsourced, the team needed a solution that could streamline invoice management and provide remote transparency into their financial data.
“The team was dedicated to maintaining a robust payments approval process, which required a manual approach—incorporating PDF editing and offline Excel monitoring. While this method ensured thoroughness, it was time-consuming and overly complex, highlighting an opportunity to streamline our workflow for greater efficiency.”

Solution
To address these internal accounting challenges, Treetoscope turned to DOKKA, which instantly enabled them to efficiently manage the invoicing process, automate approval workflows, track payments, and gain real-time data visibility.
Treetoscope’s VP of Finance, Galit, didn’t have to think twice about procuring DOKKA—she was already familiar with it from her previous company, as well as the outsourced finance team.
The main setup was straightforward and focused on two key features: mapping vendors, which allowed for cleaning and updating the vendor list, and the invoice approval workflow, which automatically assigns vendors to approvers and tracks invoice statuses. This allowed the team to easily see which invoices were pending, rejected, or approved, along with the approver for each entity.
“It’s great to see how smoothly the adoption process works. Thanks to DOKKA’s excellent customer support, getting started is easy. The system is also highly intuitive—if you’re familiar with similar tools, using it is effortless.”

Biggest Wins
“First and foremost, our transparency has improved dramatically. In terms of time savings, as a startup juggling many tasks, we’ve freed up at least one full working day per month for the management team—and that’s significant. Compared to our previous highly manual process with limited transparency, this efficiency gain is a game-changer.”
