When off-the-shelf tools do not fit, EdgePoint Foundry builds custom software that integrates with existing systems and supports the workflow the business needs to run.
Specializing in .NET, Python, and AI-assisted development for ERP, MES, and CRM systems in manufacturing and service company environments. If the advisory work points to a custom workflow, Foundry handles the build.
EdgePoint Foundry works with EdgePoint Strategy's fractional CIO, CISO, and CAIO services. Advisory work stays vendor-neutral. Foundry is used only when custom software, integration, or automation is the right path.
Four production systems across manufacturing, continuous improvement, knowledge continuity, and specialty healthcare. Each began with an operating problem that generic software did not fit.
A live, material-aware production schedule built around how a tube mill actually runs.
Built for a U.S. steel tube manufacturer, Apollo Scheduler replaces spreadsheet coordination with a multi-user mill board that understands rolling campaigns, gauge groupings, working calendars, run rates, and the order in which production consumes coil.
A voice-first path from frontline problem to sustained operational improvement.
Workers raise problems by voice, photo, or note. AI structures the evidence, while a human facilitator controls triage, coaching, countermeasures, and sustainment.
A privacy-conscious operating platform for specialty healthcare practices.
Kindra brings client, visit, report, follow-up, communication, and practice workflows into one modular system designed around the daily work of a specialty clinic.
Capture critical know-how before it walks out the door.
A governed engagement platform for organizations facing retirement, succession, and critical-role risk. Structured interviews become reviewed, versioned operating artifacts.
Selected Foundry systems can be licensed, adapted, or deployed into similar operating environments. The starting point is the proven workflow, then the system is configured around your data, integrations, controls, and team.
Talk through the fitFrom configuring what you already own to building entirely new systems, matched to your situation.
| Approach | When to use it | Typical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Native configuration | Existing ERP/MES/CRM has the capability. It just isn't turned on or workflowed for your business. | ERP workflow customization · MES production tracking · CRM automation & reporting |
| Add-ins & augmentation | Core system is good; you need a targeted extension that fits inside the existing platform. | Custom ERP modules & plugins · Enhanced dashboards · Specialized workflow automation |
| Standalone systems | Capability doesn't exist in your current platforms and is core to differentiation. | Custom business applications · Enterprise integration · AI-powered analytics platforms |
