Rainforest, a fast-growing e-commerce aggregator and brand builder, was looking to onboard contractors across the world in 2021.

Hassle-free compliance processes

Hassle-free compliance processes

Skuad managed all compliance and payroll processes mentioned in the contractor agreement. For example, for one contractor, the payment date was the 15th of the month while for another the payment date was the 30th of the month.

Efficient payments and invoicing

Efficient payments and invoicing

Skuad ensured contractors were paid in their preferred currency (USD, EUR, etc.). We also simplified invoicing by raising only a single invoice to Rainforest for ~30 contractors across 12 countries. Instead of making multiple payments, Rainforest had to pay Skuad once a month for all the contractors.
