Lano Contractor Management
Berlin, Germany
What it is
Lano Contractor Management is a web-based platform for companies hiring and managing international contractors. It covers onboarding, compliance, invoicing, and payments, with localized contracts intended to help companies address local laws. Lano says contractor operations span more than 170 countries and 28 currencies. Standard modules include a talent pool, applicant tracking, task management, compliance, invoice management, and global payments. Contractors get a free invoicing tool and a digital wallet for multi-currency payments; Lano says corporate clients pay the fees. The offer includes three compliance sendings and three invoices at no charge before Control and Intelligence modules require an upgrade. Integrations are available only with the Intelligence module, and the Lano API is in closed beta for selected customers. The listed Contractor Management plan costs €19 per contractor per month. Lano also 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.
