Hi QXO!
We're IDLance, and we'd love
to give you a hand with your Learning & Development needs!

We'll be honest. At first, we thought QXO stood for Quaint Xylophone Orchestra. We were very interested.
Turns out, what it really stands for is something much bigger! An ambitious effort to transform a massive industry into something smarter, faster, and more connected.
What caught our attention is how QXO pairs scale with speed. You’re reshaping the infrastructure behind how building materials move and how technology drives growth. That kind of reinvention doesn’t happen slowly. It happens in bold moves, and you’ve made it clear that boldness is part of your DNA.
Big transitions like these are exciting. They also put a lot on people’s shoulders—teams adapting to new systems, new processes, and new ways of working. And the reality is, even the smartest strategy falls flat if the people responsible for carrying it out aren’t supported. That’s where we see ourselves fitting in!
IDLance was built for moments when a company is moving fast, scaling big, and needs its people equipped, confident, and aligned. We’ll share more about how we can help with that later, but for now, we just want to say we see the ambition, we admire it, and we’d love to be part of it!
Why IDLance? Because we actually give a hoot. Can we say hoot here? We care about the people behind the spreadsheets, we’re easy to work with, and we believe big moves only work when the humans carrying them out feel supported.
Please don’t ask us to help with shingles. Our expertise ends at WebMD.

IDLance is an Agency+ and instructional design vendor!
We help companies design and build high-impact training. That includes fun stuff like online courses, videos, workshops, toolkits, and more.

There is no "normal" project at IDLance. We've partnered with clients like Zoom, HP, Etsy, and General Electric—each with their own needs. Every project is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind snowflake (aw!), and we treat them that way.
That said, most projects follow a familiar rhythm. Here’s what it usually looks like:

Here’s what it usually looks like:
We start with a quick call to understand our client's goals, audience, and tech stack.
We handpick the right freelancers and a designated project manager from our vetted network.
Together with our client, we align on timelines, roles, deliverables, and communication preferences.
Our team gets to work—storyboarding, scripting, developing, or whatever you need!
We build in alpha, beta, and final rounds to keep feedback clear, streamlined, and manageable.
Need content updates, a new module next quarter, or staffing? We’re happy to stick around.
We’re not operating a giant claw machine, randomly dropping names onto projects and hoping for the best, even though that sounds really fun. We know who’s a wizard with Storyline and who can wrangle stakeholders. By choosing IDLance, clients help freelancers grow their business, chase their dreams, and do work that actually excites them.
You can also count on us to stick around. We’re not a “set it and forget it” kind of partner. We stay in the loop to make sure things are running smoothly and your freelance team is supported every step of the way.

Every client is different, so we build pricing that fits the actual work. We price fairly for the quality, experience, and speed we bring to the table. You’re getting vetted professionals, strong project management, and work that actually gets done right. We typically work in one of two ways:
You bring us a scoped project (or we help you scope it), and we give you a flat rate.
Best for one-off needs like a course, toolkit, or video series
Clear timeline, deliverables, and pricing up front
Scales well for small or large builds, depending on your timeline and budget
We manage the creative team and keep things moving smoothly
Our IDLance+ Retainer services are crafted for clients who want flexible, ongoing support without re-scoping every time.
Choose from 240 or 520 hours over 13 weeks
Ideal for evolving needs or multiple projects
Hours can be used across our full range of services—strategy, design, dev, PM, and more
Includes a dedicated team and project lead to keep everything aligned and on track
We can do a lot of things, but here are five ways we could jump in and make life easier for QXO right now.
Custom onboarding programs that quickly bring thousands of Beacon employees into the QXO culture, systems, and processes, so acquisitions feel easy and natural instead of totally chaotic.
Clear, human-centered learning experiences to help employees understand the “why” behind QXO’s bold moves, reducing resistance and building trust during integration.
Tailored, engaging compliance modules (yes, even roofing safety) that go beyond check-the-box training, keeping your expanding workforce safe and audit-ready.
Rapid learning tools to help employees adapt to new digital platforms and inventory systems, ensuring QXO’s tech investments translate into real-world efficiency.
Practical learning resources to equip managers and frontline leaders with the confidence and language to guide their teams through disruption and keep morale high.
