Marco OS vs. Marco Service Platform: Key Differences

1. Marco OS: The Core Technology

Marco OS is the underlying system that powers multiple platforms, including the Marco Service Platform and white-label vendor platforms. It provides the essential foundation for:

  • User role management (Vendor, Staff)

  • Profile types (Manager, Worker)

  • Authentication and security

  • Data processing and platform-wide services

Since all platforms powered by Marco OS share the same core structure, user roles, permissions, and functionalities remain consistent across different implementations.

2. Marco Service Platform: The Master Platform

The Marco Service Platform (or simply Marco) is Marco’s own implementation of Marco OS. It serves as the master platform that offers payroll, HR, and operational tools.

It includes four key data categories:

  • Platform Data: System-wide configurations, logs, and settings.

  • Customer Data: Company profiles, employee records, and payroll details.

  • Partner Vendor Data: Vendor organization details, assigned customer data.

  • Vendor User Data: Individual vendor user profiles, permissions, and activity logs.

The Marco Service Platform follows the same role structure as white-label platforms:

  • Vendor Admin: Manages all customers, partners, and vendor settings.

  • Vendor User: Manages assigned customers but has limited platform access.

  • Staff Users (Manager/Worker): Company employees who interact with payroll and HR services.

3. White-Label Platforms: Vendor-Branded Implementations

White-label platforms are vendor-specific versions of Marco, powered by Marco OS. These platforms:

  • Operate under the vendor’s branding while maintaining Marco OS’s core functionality.

  • Follow the same role and profile structure (Vendor Admin, Vendor User, Manager, Worker).

  • Allow vendors to manage their own customers and business settings independently.

Despite being independently branded, white-label platforms function identically to the Marco Service Platform. The only difference is that each vendor controls their own instance.

Key Takeaways

  • Marco OS is the foundation that powers both the Marco Service Platform and white-label vendor platforms.

  • The Marco Service Platform is Marco’s own implementation of Marco OS, acting as the master platform.

  • White-label platforms have the same structure but are branded and managed by vendors.

  • User roles (Vendor Admin, Vendor User, Staff) and profile types (Manager, Worker) remain the same across all implementations.
