Our Consultative Implementation model is designed for teams that want to own execution while leveraging senior Rippling expertise at critical decision points. We act as trusted advisors—reviewing configuration, validating payroll and compliance assumptions, identifying risks early, and providing prescriptive guidance across HRIS, payroll, benefits, IT, and global workforce setup. This model is ideal for experienced internal teams that need confidence, not capacity, and want senior oversight without fully outsourcing the implementation.
Our Co-Led / Project-Managed Implementation model pairs your team and Rippling’s implementation resources with a senior thePeopleStack consultant who owns delivery rigor. We manage the project end-to-end—coordinating stakeholders, sequencing work across modules, and ensuring payroll, compliance, and downstream systems are implemented correctly—while Rippling focuses on platform execution. This approach works best for organizations that want Rippling involved but require stronger project leadership, cross-functional alignment, and real-world operating experience to ensure a successful launch.
Our Fully Managed Implementation model is a true white-glove engagement where thePeopleStack takes full ownership of your Rippling rollout. We lead discovery, data migration, configuration, testing, payroll validation, and go-live—acting as a single point of accountability throughout the engagement. This model is best suited for executive-led teams, complex environments, or organizations undergoing growth, M&A, or compliance-sensitive transitions that want outcomes without internal project management burden.

You will get your own VRP Delivery Manager who works alongside you to understand your project needs, ways of working, client expectations and project deliverables to identify and support resource on-boarding.
We work in cooperation with your stakeholders to identify the challenges and key requirements for your HCM program, including Payroll, IT, Spend and Global employment functions (as applicable). We map out your business processes and evaluate your current technical setup to identify errors, security vulnerabilities, risks, and limitations.
Once the challenges have been identified, we will propose an implementation plan, module priority, roadmap, testing schedule and training approach. We estimate and prioritize the scope of work and mobilize a delivery team to get the job done.
Our teams can run either an agile or waterfall methodology depending on your needs. During configuration, we conduct show and tell workshops to highlight new requirements and react quickly to implement the new scope of the project. Our quality assurance testers complete manual and automatic tests to ensure you have a robust solution that best meets end-user needs.
Once configuration has been signed off with user acceptance testing, we invite users/admins to the system. We provide end-user documentation and training to ensure complete adoption of the new system or functionalities. When working alongside Rippling, we align schedules to a standardized implementation flow.

Our consultants bring hands-on experience running payroll, managing HR and IT operations, and supporting complex, multi-entity environments.
All implementations are led by intermediate to senior level Implementation Managers. You will work with experienced consultants who specialize in Rippling, payroll, compliance, and HR/IT operations—never junior resources or handoffs mid-project.
