Platform Foundry LLC helps growing companies design, validate, deploy, and support practical business applications and operational platforms.
Focused operational platforms and software. Modular by design. Supported from first deployment onward.

Your practical digital platform partner—from a focused subscription capability to a connected operational platform.

Platform Foundry helps manufacturers, industrial companies and growing operational businesses replace manual, disconnected and spreadsheet-heavy processes with practical digital capabilities.

Start with a ready-to-use subscription product, configure an existing capability around your operation, or commission a focused custom platform. We support discovery, onboarding, deployment, integration and continued improvement—so each step delivers value now and remains ready to connect into a broader digital operation as your needs grow.

Start with a $295 paid capability review for custom or new needs. A focused proof of concept or minimum viable product validation sprint starts from $2,950, with 50% of that fee credited toward an agreed production setup when the client proceeds.

Ideal client fit

Built for companies that need a digital partner (what we also like to call an advancement team) without building a large internal software team.

Platform Foundry builds focused operational software for manufacturers, industrial companies and practical business teams—starting with individual problems and progressively connecting those capabilities into a broader digital operation.

Companies may begin with a ready-to-use subscription capability, a configured deployment or a focused custom platform. Each pathway is supported through onboarding, implementation and continued improvement, with private and isolated deployment options available for larger or more specialised requirements.

Our strongest fit is typically an established or growing company with approximately $5 million to $50 million in annual revenue, a clear operational or commercial problem, and leaders who want a practical route from requirement to working system.

We can support focused requirements across a wider range—from approximately $1 million to $200 million in annual revenue—where the scope, decision pathway, and commercial objective are clear. Subscription platforms are also available to much smaller organizations that want to begin with a ready-to-use capability.

Growing companies commonly need speed to value, scalable technology, stronger customer and employee workflows, security-conscious delivery, integration readiness, and a provider that remains available after launch. Platform Foundry aims to meet those needs through focused workshops, transparent scope control, director oversight, and hosted support.

Platform Foundry directors retain an overarching role across discovery, control documentation, development direction, risk decisions, and deployment outcomes, while working with the appropriate client stakeholders for each project.

Confidentiality by default. We do not publicize client names, projects, or working relationships without prior written consent. And we are transparent. Read our Confidentiality & Data Stewardship Statement →.

Primary platform capabilities

Two core pathways for most custom platform work.

Platform Foundry’s primary work is helping companies define, validate, build, and operate structured digital platforms and operational data capture systems that support real business activity.

Primary capability

Digital Platform Development

Investigation, specification, prototyping, and development for companies that need a business application, workflow system, customer or supplier portal, operational platform, or new digital service.

Suitable for introductory applications through to more complex, extensible platforms that can grow with the company.

Paid discovery $295 · Optional POC/MVP from $2,950

Production setup from $7,000 USD · Monthly service from $399

Operational systems

Operational Data Capture Platforms

Secure internal platforms for replacing spreadsheet-heavy tracking, email chains, paper forms, and fragmented reporting with structured capture, workflows, dashboards, evidence, approvals, and operational visibility.

Suitable for production, quality, field activity, maintenance, service delivery, project status, exceptions, and management reporting.

Paid discovery $295 · Optional POC/MVP from $2,950

Production setup from $7,000 USD · Monthly service from $399

Looking for something more packaged? Review the subscription-ready and prebuilt operational capabilities below. They can be used as standard services or adapted into a dedicated deployment for a specific company requirement.
POC and MVP validation pathway

Prove the first useful loop before committing to full production.

A proof of concept tests whether an idea or workflow is viable. A minimum viable product is the smallest working version that demonstrates practical value to real stakeholders. Platform Foundry uses a contained validation sprint to reduce uncertainty before a larger build.

Step 1

Paid capability review

A workshop-style discussion covering the business problem, users, current process, expected outcome, risk, and likely platform pathway.

$295 USD

Step 2

POC/MVP Validation Sprint

A contained working loop for one important workflow, user journey, data structure, reporting requirement, or operational process.

Typical delivery is approximately two weeks to one month, depending on scope and client review speed.

From $2,950 USD

Step 3

Production setup pathway

If the client proceeds to an agreed production setup within the stated offer period, 50% of the POC/MVP fee is credited toward that setup.

Production-ready capabilities commonly require approximately six weeks to two months, depending on scope, testing, integrations, and readiness.

Setup and monthly service quoted by pathway

More complex proofs involving multiple departments, unusual permissions, regulated workflows, major integrations, or substantial data migration are scoped separately before work begins.

Subscription-ready and prebuilt capabilities

Operational products that can be subscribed to, configured, or deployed for a specific company.

These capabilities provide a faster starting point because the core platform pattern already exists. Smaller organizations may begin through a tenant subscription, while larger or specialized requirements can move into a dedicated deployment.

QR management software

IndustryQR

A practical QR-code operations platform for creating and managing QR records, labels, destinations, sites, locations, scan activity, operational actions, evidence, and tracking workflows.

Micro, Starter, Growth, and Pro subscription levels make IndustryQR a useful first step for companies exploring how QR codes can support maintenance, operations, asset visibility, quality, and field activity.

Subscription plans available at IndustryQR.com

Dedicated setup from $7,500 · Monthly from $750 · Optional MVP from $2,950

Production flow and digital job traveller

Shop Floor Relay

A focused work-in-progress and production-flow platform that connects planning, material preparation, machining or cutting, assembly, quality, packing, and dispatch through a defined digital route.

Authorized operators can start work, record output, place jobs on hold, capture scrap or rework, attach notes or images, pass work forward, and confirm acceptance by the next section.

Setup from $5,950 · Monthly from $399 · Optional MVP from $2,950

Digital shift handover and operations logbook

Shift Continuity

A lightweight, searchable operational record for every shift, area, and production team—replacing paper books, spreadsheets, informal messages, and incomplete verbal handovers.

The capability supports preparation, structured communication, incoming-team review, unresolved issue carry-forward, action ownership, notes, evidence, and management visibility.

Setup from $5,950 · Monthly from $399 · Optional MVP from $2,950

Manufacturing, MES, and quality pathways

Deeper operational platforms for production, quality, and manufacturing control.

Where the requirement extends beyond a focused operational utility, Platform Foundry can scope wider manufacturing execution, quality, and production data-capture capabilities.

Manufacturing execution pathway

PlatformMES

Production visibility, job tracking, route control, work progress, quality checkpoints, operational capture, reporting, and management oversight.

Paid discovery $295

Setup from $12,000 · Monthly from $599

Quality workflow systems

NCR & Quality Control Platforms

Non-conformance reporting, inspections, corrective actions, approvals, evidence, production records, audit trails, and management visibility.

Paid discovery $295

Setup from $7,000 · Monthly from $399

Shop-floor operational capture

Manufacturing Data Capture

Digital forms, job updates, production inputs, inspection records, operator entries, exceptions, routing progress, evidence, and dashboards.

Paid discovery $295

Setup from $7,000 · Monthly from $399

Focused discovery process

Start with a workshop-style review, then validate or build the right first version.

The purpose of discovery is to understand the business problem, current process, users, data, risks, integrations, and commercial outcome before recommending a POC/MVP, packaged capability, production setup, or deeper custom scope.

Paid capability review starts at $295. POC/MVP validation sprints start from $2,950. Production setup usually starts from $7,000 USD with ongoing monthly support from $399.

Flexible monthly arrangements: Unless a different fixed term is clearly agreed, Platform Foundry month-to-month platform, hosting, support, maintenance, and service plans may be canceled at any time by written notice. Cancellation ordinarily takes effect at the end of the current paid monthly period, with no further monthly fees charged after that date.

Governed operational AI

Industrial Operations Agent

Platform Foundry can introduce a narrowly defined AI assistant into one of our operational capabilities—or build one around an existing client process—where the business case is clear and human control remains central.

Useful functions include turning free-form notes into structured entries, classifying maintenance or quality issues, extracting follow-up actions, producing incoming-shift briefings, summarizing unresolved problems, comparing repeated events, and drafting controlled escalation or customer messages.

Paid discovery $295 · POC from $2,950 · Setup from $10,000 · Monthly from $499

Recommended sequence: structured application first, then AI summarization and classification.

Human approval: proposed actions become operational records only after authorized review.

Later expansion: controlled integrations and limited autonomous actions only where risk and governance allow.

Supporting platform modules

Reusable modules that strengthen wider digital operations.

These modules may be deployed independently or incorporated into a broader Platform Foundry application.
