The master vendor model.

Vendor onboarding adds legal and AP overhead when you manage many contractors. With a master vendor model, you sign one MSA with Gruv and we manage individual contracts and payouts. You receive a consolidated invoice and a single operational workflow.

  • Single MSA for all global talent
  • One consolidated monthly invoice
  • Program-level compliance responsibilities handled by Gruv

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the single vendor model work?+
You onboard Gruv once under a master agreement. In supported programs, Gruv becomes the contractual counterparty to your freelancers/agencies and runs the onboarding, invoicing, and payout workflow—so your AP team operates through a consolidated vendor relationship.
Does this protect against worker misclassification?+
It can reduce vendor sprawl and centralize compliance gates, but it is not a blanket legal guarantee. Misclassification risk depends on jurisdiction, facts, and how work is managed—confirm your requirements with counsel and scope the program with our team.
Can I still choose who I work with?+
Yes. You keep control of talent selection and day-to-day delivery, while Gruv supports the operational workflow (onboarding, compliance checks, invoicing, payouts, and exports) based on your configuration.
Can I start with this feature and add more later?+
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 pilot. 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.
Is this tax or legal advice?+
No. Tax and compliance features vary by jurisdiction and customer configuration. This content is for informational purposes and is not tax or legal advice.
