Lano Contractor Management vs Mauve Group

Lano Contractor Management is a web-based workforce platform for companies hiring and managing international contractors. Its standard offer includes a talent pool, applicant tracking, task management, compliance, invoice management, and global payments. Lano states that it supports contractor operations in more than 170 countries and 28 currencies, with localized contracts intended to help companies address local laws. Contractors receive a free invoicing tool and a digital wallet for multi-currency payments; Lano says contractors use the platform at no charge and corporate clients pay the fees. Three compliance sendings and three invoices are available free before Control and Intelligence modules require an upgrade. Integrations include accounting, HR, signing, and other tools, but access requires booking the Intelligence module. Lano API access is in closed beta for selected customers. Lano states it has SOC 2 Type II certification and is GDPR compliant, with AES-256 encrypted S3 storage and TLS 1.2 encryption in transit and at rest. Contractor Management costs €19 per month, with volume discounts available.
