- Enforce standardized rates based on active contracts
- Access consolidated reporting for instant spend visibility
- Stay on track with structured invoice reviews and approvals
Vendor sprawl turns payments into operational risk.
Multiple contractors, multiple countries, multiple forms—manual reviews and inconsistent approvals create errors and slow every payout run.
Onboarding backlog
New vendors mean new processes, reviews, and exceptions.
Missing tax documents
Collection and status tracking becomes a manual chase.
Duplicate/late payouts
Retries and spreadsheets increase the cost of mistakes.
A procurement-friendly model: one vendor, clear downstream flows.
Your company pays Gruv. Gruv orchestrates compliant workflows and payouts to talent—keeping records consistent across approval, payment, and reporting.

One supplier workflow
Procurement onboards once. AP pays one vendor while downstream flows stay explicit.
Tax profile collection
Collect required tax/profile details with visible status and exception handling.
Payout routing + tracking
Choose payout methods, track lifecycle status, and reconcile with provider references.
Compliance gating
Block ineligible payouts until required checks and policy gates are complete.
Audit logs + exports
Export reconciliation packs and event history for audits and month‑end close.
Exceptions + retries
Handle failures with explicit recovery states and safe retries (replay, not duplicates).
One Platform, Global Reach
Focus on your work, not compliance. Gruv acts as your Merchant of Record.
Single, compliant vendor
Procurement onboards Gruv once. Your AP team pays one supplier while Gruv handles talent invoicing and payouts.
Automated tax compliance
VAT/GST, reverse charge, W-8/W-9 collection, 1099 distribution—audit-ready records with minimal overhead.
Global payments, local rails
Pay talent in 190+ countries with predictable schedules and currency options. Reduce manual wires and errors.
KYC/AML & risk controls
Verified identities and compliance checks across jurisdictions. Lower fraud risk and maintain regulatory posture.
Procurement-friendly invoicing
PO numbers, legal entity details, tax IDs, and correct tax treatment—reduces rejections and speeds approvals.
Audit-ready records
Consolidated statements, exports, and evidence for audits. Transparent fee structure and reconciliation support.
From onboarding to payout runs in four steps.
Onboard Gruv as a vendor
Set up vendor details and align on approval workflows.
Invite or import payees
Create beneficiaries/payout methods and collect required profile details.
Apply policy gates
Block ineligible payouts until compliance requirements are met.
Run payouts + export records
Track statuses through completion and export reconciliation/audit packs.
Audit-ready by default—without spreadsheet rework.
Payout workflows should be traceable to a request, a beneficiary, provider references, and ledger postings. Retries should behave like replays—not duplicate disbursements.
What “audit-ready” means in practice
- Compliance gating before payouts are initiated
- Idempotent payout creation to prevent duplicates on retries
- Exportable records for reconciliation and review
Approve, pay, reconcile—without spreadsheet churn.
Keep payout runs structured and auditable: validate inputs, resolve exceptions, and export reconciliation packs when finance asks for evidence.
- Validate payee details before money moves
- Track exceptions with explicit ownership and retry states
- Export reconciliation packs for audits and month‑end close
