ERP Implementation Consulting: A Step-by-Step Guide VARs Can Use to Support Their Clients
For Value-Added Resellers (VARs), the ERP sale is only half the equation. The real test of client success lies in implementation. A poorly executed rollout puts client relationships—and long-term renewals—at risk. That’s where strategic partnerships come in.
At Business Consulting Leader, we collaborate with resellers to deliver white-label or co-branded ERP implementation services that reflect well on you. Our goal isn’t to replace your role as a trusted advisor—it’s to strengthen it. We work behind the scenes or alongside your team to make sure every ERP implementation leads to a successful, scalable outcome.
We’ve helped countless companies make this transition smoothly. Our clients work with us because we make the tech work for the business—not the other way around. We connect the big-picture goals with the day-to-day details that actually move things forward.
Why ERP Implementation Support Matters for VARs
Your clients rely on you for more than just licensing—they’re looking for a complete solution. But implementing modern cloud ERP platforms like Acumatica, NetSuite, or others requires specialized expertise and dedicated bandwidth. Many resellers don't have a full internal team for implementation—or they’re stretched too thin to take on complex projects.
That’s where we come in. Partnering with an implementation-focused firm means you can scale service delivery without increasing overhead, protect client relationships, and ensure go-lives go smoothly.
Step-by-Step ERP Implementation—Built to Scale with VAR Partnerships
1. Engage Implementation Experts (That’s Us)
With Business Consulting Leader as your implementation partner, your team can stay focused on client strategy while we handle the hands-on rollout. Our consultants are experienced in configuring ERP systems to reflect each client’s real-world operations—without disrupting your relationship.
2. Map and Design Business Processes
We translate goals into workflows, identifying what needs to change and how best to automate and support key processes in our business process engineering stage. Our solution design approach ensures the ERP setup reflects your client’s current operations and future growth.
3. Configure, Test, and Validate
Our team handles configuration, data migration, and testing—looping in your team or your client’s users as needed. We break things in testing, not post go-live, so the rollout is smooth and stable.
4. Train Client Teams
We provide thorough training for client end users, tailored to their roles and business context. Whether it’s live, recorded, or written documentation, we build training into every implementation so adoption doesn’t fall flat.
5. Go Live—with Support in Place
We don’t disappear at go-live. Our post-launch support includes troubleshooting, feedback loops, and optimization guidance. You stay in the loop—or take credit for it—however you prefer to manage the partnership.
Common Implementation Pitfalls—and How We Help You Avoid Them
Even seasoned VARs can run into issues with implementations, especially when internal bandwidth is limited. We’ve helped partners recover projects that were stalled or off-track. Some of the most common challenges we help resolve include:
Lack of comprehensive design prior to configuration
Incomplete testing
Insufficient training or user engagement
Avoiding these missteps protects your reputation and keeps your client’s trust intact. We’re here to help make that easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Business Consulting Leader’s ideal implementation partner?
We work with VARs, solution consultants, and software resellers who want to offer implementation services without building a full in-house delivery team. Whether you're scaling your ERP practice or need support on a complex project, we serve as your implementation partner—not a competitor.
Will Business Consulting Leader engage directly with my clients?
Only if you want us to. We can operate as a white-label service under your brand, collaborate directly with your clients as a named partner, or stay completely behind the scenes. We’re flexible to your preferred model of engagement.
Can you support just part of the ERP implementation?
Yes. We offer modular services that can support one phase or the full lifecycle—gap analysis, solution design, process mapping, configuration, training, and go-live support. You can bring us in where your team needs reinforcement.
How do you ensure our clients have a great experience?
We take a collaborative, business-first approach to implementation. That means clear communication, user-centered design, and full alignment with the goals defined at the start. Our process is designed to make you look good, by ensuring the implementation delivers measurable value to your client.
Do you provide ongoing support after go-live?
Yes. Post-launch support is built into our approach. We offer structured support for troubleshooting, optimization, user feedback, and enhancements—so clients stay happy and engaged, and you stay ahead of renewal conversations.
