Frequently Asked Questions
Is self-billing legal?+
Depends on jurisdiction, document requirements, and the agreement. Self-billing is common but the template and acceptance model must fit your markets.
How do suppliers receive invoices?+
Delivery depends on workflow. Common: supplier portal and email delivery of PDFs, with an audit trail tied to payout events.
Do invoices tie back to source data?+
Yes. The strongest workflows generate the invoice from the same approved source data that drives payout. Finance reconciles in one step.
Can we roll out gradually?+
Yes. Most teams start with one market or supplier group, then expand once format, communication, and reconciliation work.

Yes. Gruv is modular, you can start with a single workflow and expand to additional modules as your requirements grow.
How do integrations work?+
Integrate via APIs and webhooks, or start with file imports/exports for a fast evaluation. Email ingestion can help with lightweight backfills when needed.
What affects coverage, methods, and timelines?+
Coverage, methods, and timelines vary by market and are subject to compliance and policy checks. Confirm your target corridors and payout methods during evaluation.
