Our approach:

• Build a tailored vendor management program for your organization.
• Focus on your strategic vendors first, then continue to work through every classification of vendor.
• Turn your key vendors into true strategic relationships.
• Standardize your processes for transitioning in new vendors, maintaining communications, and monitoring performance, thus reducing the effort to manage your vendors.
• Create clear escalation pathways and contingency plans for addressing vendor under-performance.
• Codify your tailored, best-practice methodology for managing vendor relationships.

Are you confident that every independent contractor working for your organization is correctly classified? APC helps companies navigate the complex landscape of compliance and ensures independent contractors are properly classified and in full compliance with IRS and DOL regulations.

APC reduces many of the legal, procurement, and accounting costs associated with engaging independent contractors (IC) by:

• Providing consolidated invoicing for all independent contractors
• Auditing time and expense reports for compliance
• Negotiating favorable contract terms and conditions with ICs
• Responding to supplier questions and providing timely payment
• Providing on-line access to purchase order utilization, timesheet detail, and management information
• Serving as a single contact for all vendor-related issues
• Becoming the employer of record (EOR) or agent of record (AOR) to ease risk exposure

APC’s Employer Of Record (EOR – W2 employees) or Agent Of Record (AOR – independent contractors) Service is the ideal solution for businesses that want access to top talent but can’t hire them, and companies that want access to project-based contractors and SMEs.
