Clear scope. Independent advice. No vendor commissions.
Every engagement is scoped to a specific outcome. You know exactly what you'll get and exactly how it moves your operation forward.
Flight Check
Operational Assessment
A focused assessment of your current operation (layout, pick paths, barcoding, receiving, replenishment) resulting in end-to-end process maps and a prioritized action plan with estimated ROI for each item.
Best for: Teams that want quick operational wins before committing to new software, or who aren't yet sure software is even the right answer.
- →Current-state process map
- →Future-state process map
- →Findings report with ROI estimates
- →90-day improvement plan
Flight Plan
System Selection
End-to-end guidance to select the best-fit WMS for your ERP, whether that's Sage 100, Acumatica, NetSuite, Dynamics, or another platform. We translate your requirements into vendor-ready specs, run vendor briefings and demos, score solutions side-by-side, and support contract review.
Best for: Companies selecting their first WMS, or replacing an underperforming system.

- →Vendor shortlist
- →Demo scripts

Tower Control
Implementation Oversight
Hands-on, third-party oversight to keep your rollout on course. We coordinate stakeholders, track milestones, mitigate risk, and prepare your floor for cutover. The selected partner handles the technical work; we act as your independent advocate throughout.
Scope is set at kickoff based on the implementation timeline. Material delays or scope changes outside InventoryATC's control may trigger a scope review per the engagement agreement.
Best for: Teams that want an experienced, independent guide to de-risk implementation.

- →Cadence call notes
- →Risk log
- →Test plans & cutover checklist
- →Go-live support
Stack onto any engagement
Address a specific need: a business case, staff training, a post-launch check, or ongoing support.
Radar Sweep
ROI / Business Case
A structured ROI and business case document for internal stakeholder buy-in, useful when you need to justify the investment up the chain before moving forward.
Crew Training
Change Management / Staff Training
A change management and staff training plan to prepare your team for a new system. Covers communication, adoption strategy, and role-by-role training structure.
Black Box
90-Day Post-Go-Live Health Check
A structured review 90 days after go-live to assess adoption, identify gaps, and confirm the system is actually delivering against the original requirements.
Holding Pattern
Fractional Advisory Retainer
Ongoing fractional advisory after the main engagement ends. Quarterly check-in cadence to monitor performance, advise on new requirements, and keep your operation on course.
Why not just use a VAR or implementation partner?
A reseller earns revenue selling a specific vendor's product. An implementation partner earns revenue implementing it. Even a firm that calls itself “vendor-neutral” often carries preferred partnerships and volume incentives that quietly shape its recommendations. InventoryATC works directly for you, the same model as an attorney or accountant, and earns nothing from any vendor. That structural independence is the foundation of every recommendation we make.
Common questions
Do I have to go through all three phases?
No. Each phase is a standalone engagement. Many clients start with a Flight Check to see if software is even the right answer. Others come already in selection mode and go straight to Flight Plan, or just need Tower Control oversight on a system they've selected.
How is this different from a VAR or implementation partner?
A VAR earns revenue from selling and implementing a specific vendor's product, so its recommendation is structurally biased, even when trying to be fair. InventoryATC has no software to sell and earns nothing from any vendor. We work only for you.
Do you implement the software?
No. We're advisors and project advocates, not implementers. The selected ISV or its certified partner handles technical configuration. We handle everything that keeps the project on track and your interests protected.
Not sure where to start?
Most engagements begin with a Flight Check, a fast, contained assessment that gives you a clear picture before any larger commitment. Book a 30-minute call to talk it through.
