Restartt.ai is a Dubai-based growth and marketing agency helping startups accelerate traction through data-driven campaigns.
As their client portfolio grew, so did the volume of invoices, expenses, and VAT tracking. eating into time that should have been spent on growth.
Challenge
Before Pinto, the team faced several operational challenges:
Multiple tools for invoices, payments, and expense logging.
Late payments due to a lack of reminders.
VAT submissions requiring manual reconciliation.
Limited control over cash flow data in real time.
Solution: How Pinto Transformed LIC’s Financial Operations
Restartt implemented Pinto, the AI-powered accountant that works directly on WhatsApp, to fully automate and streamline their finance workflow. Instead of relying on manual tracking or external accountants for every task, Pinto now acts as their virtual finance assistant — handling invoices, expenses, VAT reporting, and financial insights instantly and accurately.
Smart Invoicing — Directly Through WhatsApp
Restartt.ai no longer relies on Excel or manual invoice templates.
With Pinto, team members simply message:
“Create an invoice for AED 2,500 to Bright Labs for consulting services.”
Pinto automatically generates a professional, VAT-compliant invoice and sends it to the client.
Invoices are stored securely, tracked for payment status, and synced with their connected accounting tool (e.g., Wafeq or Zoho Books).
Impact
Invoices created 5× faster
No missed payments or duplicates
Improved client turnaround time
Receipt Capture & Expense Recording
Team members now record expenses by snapping a photo or uploading a receipt directly in WhatsApp. Pinto’s built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition) automatically extracts key data — amount, vendor, date, and category — and logs it in the connected accounting system.

Eliminated spreadsheet-based logging
