What GRUPO SHEFFER CONSULTORES does

SHEFFER CONSULTORES is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2008, specializing in the implementation, certification, and maintenance of international ISO management system standards. The firm operates under two legal entities — SHEFFER CONSULTORES in Panama (headquarters at Calle 50, Edificio Plaza 2000, Panama City) and SHEFFER & REYES CONSULTORES in the Dominican Republic (Héctor Sucre Félix No.1-B, El Portal, Santo Domingo) — and serves enterprise and mid-market clients across Panama, the Dominican Republic, and the broader Latin American market.

The company's offering is built around seven integrated consulting lines: ISO advisory (covering ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 31000, and 26000), corporate training and capacitation, strategic planning, corporate social responsibility, process improvement, customer service, and internal auditing. Delivery is manual and consultant-led through weekly or bi-weekly on-site client visits, supplemented by virtual and in-house training modalities, using a proprietary 'Apriser Haciendo' (Learning by Doing) five-stage methodology spanning planning, documentary development, implementation, internal audit, and certification support.

Commercially, the firm runs a sales-led, field-based go-to-market with free initial consultations and bilingual (Spanish) service delivery. Named enterprise clients include Hospital Pacífica Salud, RECOMSA, DECOLOSAL, and PROCLEAN. The firm employs 12 people, has no proprietary technology platform, no AI capabilities, no disclosed external funding, and no public revenue disclosure.

Broad incumbents

• SGS: Swiss-based testing, inspection, and certification multinational offering ISO management system implementation and certification worldwide. Competes directly in ISO advisory with global brand recognition and much larger consultant bench, including a dedicated Latin American presence.
• LRQA: Global assurance provider (part of BMG) offering ISO certification, training, and advisory across multiple management system standards. Competes for the same enterprise certification mandates in Latin America.
• DNV: Norway-headquartered certification and assurance firm active across ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, and risk management standards. Comparable standards portfolio and presence in Latin American enterprise markets.
• AENOR: Spanish certification body with strong penetration in Spanish-speaking markets including Latin America. Offers ISO advisory and certification services with cultural and linguistic alignment to Sheffer's bilingual Latin American client base.
• Bureau Veritas: Global leader in testing, inspection, and certification with extensive ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 27001 advisory and certification services across Latin America. Comparable to Sheffer in standards coverage but vastly larger scale, broader geographic reach, and deeper enterprise relationships.
• EY Advisory Services: Big Four advisory practice offering management system implementation, risk, and compliance consulting including ISO-related programs for large enterprises. Competes for higher-end ISO transformation engagements that may pull clients away from smaller firms.
• TÜV SÜD: German-based global certification body providing ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, and related management system services. Overlaps with Sheffer's standards portfolio and competes for the same enterprise clients seeking certification, though at much greater scale.
• Deloitte Advisory: Big Four advisory firm with management consulting practices covering ISO implementation, internal audit, and process improvement. Comparable in service scope at the enterprise end of Sheffer's market, though targeting much larger clients.
• BSI Group: UK-origin standards company and co-originator of ISO 9001, providing management system certification, training, and advisory globally. Direct competitor for ISO implementation mandates, particularly attractive to multinationals operating in Latin America.

Regional players

• ICONTEC: Colombian non-profit standards and certification body offering ISO management system certification and training across Latin America. A strong regional competitor in the Andean and Central American markets where Sheffer also operates.
