Staudt Solutions began more than a decade ago—long before the name existed.
At the time, I was working full-time as a Master Scheduler at Watkins Manufacturing, and had having already spent 25 years of my career in all facets of the supply chain arena. A colleague recommended me to his wife’s company, which needed guidance selecting and implementing an ERP system. They didn’t need a salesperson—they needed an independent systems advisor. That project became the foundation of my first consulting firm, Lee Stout Consulting, LLC.
What started as advisory work turned into a full ERP implementation and long-term system ownership. I was hired full-time to build, operate, and maintain their system. That experience shaped my philosophy: business systems should simplify operations, not create technical debt.
Over the years, through manufacturing and enterprise ERP transformations, one lesson became clear—the most sustainable systems are cloud-based, automatically upgraded, and designed to grow through integration rather than customization.
Staudt Solutions represents the evolution of that journey: more experience, broader perspective, and a disciplined approach to building business systems that are reliable, scalable, and ready for automation.
