Implementation

Configured, not custom-built.

Elevate is configured at the client level by people who run programs, not by a services team writing code. That is the whole reason a mid-market program can go live on a platform that also runs enterprise networks.

Speed to Value

A methodology built to compress the timeline.

Our implementation approach blends industry best practices with rapid-launch software configuration. The platform ships with sensible defaults; the work of an implementation is deciding where your program differs, not building it from nothing.

Timelines vary with scope, supplier count and integration depth. What we have consistently found is that the variable driving the schedule is rarely the software.

What actually determines speed
  • Empowered, accessible client resources
  • Organizational readiness
  • Collaborative communication and change management
  • Engaged stakeholders across procurement, HR and hiring
  • A branded program with a compelling value proposition
Configuration Tools

The tools your admins
actually use.

Program configuration lives in the product. Rates, fees, approval routing, business-unit hierarchy and supplier tiers are all set by your team through the admin tools: no release, no ticket, no consultant.

Programs and VMS Rates configuration screen: client payment terms, VMS program type, program rate and program payment terms, with collapsed sections for SOW, direct hire, billing models, purchase orders and invoicing.
Program setup, configured per client. Payment terms, VMS program type and rate are set separately for staff augmentation, SOW and direct hire: alongside billing models, purchase orders and invoicing.
Approval rule builder: conditions on anticipated spend and region, with a plain-English summary of the rule and an ordered approver chain showing each approver's spend authority.
Rule-based approval routing. Conditions on spend, region or cost center build the rule, the builder states it back in plain English, and the approver chain carries each approver's spend authority.

The Stack

One platform,
many programs.

A network holds one or more clients: a holding company with several operating companies, or an MSP running distinct customer programs. Configuration happens at the client level, so each program gets its own workflows without its own instance.

  • Separate business-unit hierarchy configurable per client
  • New customers stood up without new infrastructure
  • New features reach every customer at once
  • Access restricted by network, client or dataset, with SSO available
Application Hierarchy
Network
The program owner: a PMO, an MSP, or a holding company
Clients
Configured independently: workflows, rates, fees, terms
Business Units
Your own org tree, driving permissions and reporting
Users & Datasets
Control-based provisioning, scoped access, SSO
After Go-Live

The part most vendors
stop talking about.

Issue & case management

An ITIL-based case management system documents platform issues and tracks them to resolution. Tickets route automatically to the responsible team, and every stakeholder on an open issue stays updated.

A roadmap you can see

The product roadmap is a shared source of truth: vision, direction, priorities and progress over time, so you know what is coming before it ships rather than after.

Customers shape it

Input comes through quarterly planning cycles, the customer success portal and one-on-one conversations, then moves into an agile development process rather than a yearly release.

A typical engagement
Phase 1

Program design

Rate structures, fee model, approval thresholds, business-unit hierarchy and supplier tiers: decided with your team and configured as they are decided.

Phase 2

Configuration & integration

The program is built in the admin tools. Standard integrations to HRIS, ERP and payroll are connected in parallel; see Integrations for the mechanics.

Phase 3

Supplier onboarding

Suppliers are invited, tiered and trained. This is usually the phase where a schedule slips, and it is a function of supplier responsiveness more than software.

Phase 4

UAT & launch

Your team runs its own scenarios against the configured program. Changes at this stage are configuration changes, not development tickets.

Ongoing

Adoption & iteration

Quarterly planning cycles, roadmap input, and a case management system for anything that breaks.

Bring us your program design.

The most useful first conversation is not a demo. It is an hour with your rate structure, your approval rules and your supplier list on the table.
