Backlog absorption
Your in-house PS team owns strategic accounts and customer relationships. AiDOOS Implementation VDCs absorb backlog spikes — the implementations your team can't ramp fast enough for. Most common engagement model.
Implementation Virtual Delivery Centers (VDCs) for SaaS vendors with growing implementation backlogs. Pre-vetted implementation specialists, integration engineers, and embedded delivery management — priced in Delivery Units, not engineer hours. Compress time-to-value, scale customer onboarding, no headcount commitment.
SaaS vendors at growth stage hit an operational wall: implementation work compounds faster than the in-house Professional Services team can scale. Sales velocity outpaces PS hiring; new logos sit waiting for onboarding; time-to-value stretches and churn risk rises. Hiring more PS engineers is slow and expensive; outsourcing implementations to a hourly-billing vendor is faster but creates its own problems.
Hourly-billed implementation breaks SaaS economics in two ways. First, the customer's perceived cost of the SaaS goes up — even when the underlying SaaS is cheaper than competitors, a 6-figure implementation invoice changes the comparison. Second, the implementation vendor is incentivized to take longer, which lengthens time-to-value and increases churn risk during the "I just paid a lot and haven't seen value yet" window.
An Implementation VDC is a Virtual Delivery Center pod purpose-built for SaaS implementation work. Pre-vetted implementation specialists, integration engineers, data-migration engineers, and an embedded delivery manager. Priced in Delivery Units — the SaaS vendor and AiDOOS scope a typical implementation playbook (e.g., 60 DUs per mid-market customer onboarding); subsequent implementations run from that template with engagement-specific calibration.
The platform's economics align with shipping faster — AiDOOS earns when DUs consume against shipped, accepted milestones. Slow implementations cost AiDOOS, not the customer. This inverts the misalignment that hourly billing creates and naturally compresses time-to-value.

Customer needs an unusual integration your PS team doesn't have depth in (legacy ERP, niche analytics platform, custom data formats). AiDOOS staffs specialists per implementation; your PS team retains overall accountability.
For high-volume programs (50+ implementations per quarter) AiDOOS can run end-to-end with your PS team in oversight role. Templated playbook, repeatable DU pricing, predictable time-to-go-live across the cohort.
Implementation work decomposes naturally into DU-sized units:
| Implementation component | Typical DU count |
|---|---|
| Each integration with downstream system | 5–15 DUs |
| Each custom workflow / automation | 5–15 DUs |
| Data migration (depending on volume + complexity) | 15–40 DUs |
| Training and documentation | 5–10 DUs |
| Go-live support + post-launch tuning | 5–10 DUs |
| Typical mid-market SaaS implementation | 60–150 DUs total |
A 60-DU implementation maps to AiDOOS's Small tier ($10,000 / $167 per DU). A 150-DU implementation sits in Scale tier ($160 per DU = $24,000). For SaaS vendors running 20+ implementations per quarter, Enterprise tier with custom DU commitment unlocks rates below $140/DU and dedicated success management. See the pricing page for full tier details.
