The numbers were here first.

Foresight builds software for shops that engineer every order.

KEYSTONE

Every part gets one number, for life.

Keystone is the part-numbering engine underneath all of it. Identity is fixed the first time a part is used, and reuse never mints a second number.

Read the numbers
Illustrative interface vignette for the Part Number Allocator: a glowing readout shows the next number 84-0117-A generated from FAMILY, FORM, MATERIAL and SEQUENCE schema chips, with two status rows — description built from controlled vocabulary, and issued once — both marked OK.
CONSULTING

Consulting that starts with a measurement.

One consultant with a system. Before anything changes, the current state gets measured, so every claim afterward has a number behind it and a version history around it.

DRIVEWORKS

Quotes that build their own models.

DriveWorks turns a configured quote into a finished SolidWorks model, and Foresight implements it so the output lands in PDM clean.

HARVEST

The one that feeds people.

Harvest is the platform behind 52 Meal Bank, a church food shelf run by volunteers.
