About SL Smith + Associates

SL Smith & Associates became a firm in late 2014.

It was a result of the owner, Stephanie Smith breaking out from working for SAP consulting firms and doing it on her own, convinced that the cookie cutter consulting the same way for every one was so frustrating and not getting the job done. She was setting out to make a difference her way.

You will see in our ‘Why Us’ section how our approach is different than the others in the game. Why it will not only meet your needs, but also establish long-lasting relationships for years to come. It’s about you and not us.

Our Vision

Build teams that support the entire life cycle in both SAP and non-SAP supply chain environments where we not only change the lives within our partner’s organization, but also in our own by fostering personal development, structure, and opportunities many only dream.

Our Mission

Partner with organizations to implement or support change and systems through software, business process building/re-engineering and training.

Stephanie Smith

Stephanie is the Owner and Principal Consultant at the firm. She started the firm with a desire to not only just provide SAP support but to change people’s lives. Frustrated with checking the boxes at a large firm, she wanted a more meaningful experience, a relationship, something she struggled to obtain working within large consulting firms that run projects the same way over and over again. She has developed a craft of how to support the client at their stage of the lifecycle/career. This is the foundation on which her company operates.

She has diverse experience which includes involvement in aspects of process management, team leadership, mentoring junior level professionals, system implementation process, including proof of concept, business process analysis, testing, end-user and project-team training, and production support. She excels in providing best business practices for the manufacturing industry, with a significant emphasis in automotive as it pertains to procurement, planning and logistic processes.
