Operator experience,
shipped as software.

Harrison Foundry is a Houston software studio run by a finance and operations veteran. We build real tools to run real businesses — the software that schedules the route, tracks the hours, plans the budget, and replaces the workbook nobody wants to open. For owner-operators, CFOs, and PE-backed teams.

What we do

Real tools for real businesses.

From route optimization for a trash hauler to time tracking for law firms to operating models for PE-backed teams — we build the working software a business runs on. Operator instincts, modern tools, and a bench of technical partners behind every build.

01

Operations & line-of-business tools

Scheduling, dispatch, time tracking, intake, inventory, field operations — the working software a business runs on every day. Built around how the work actually happens, not how a generic platform thinks it should.

02

FP&A & operating models

Budgets, forecasts, three-statement and operating models that reconcile to actuals — for owner-operators, CFOs, and PE-backed teams. Living tools for planning, not spreadsheets that go stale by Q2.

03

Dashboards, comp & incentives

Sales and KPI dashboards, inventory forecasting, route and unit-economics models, and employee compensation and incentive plans — modeled, stress-tested, and wired into a tool the team can actually use.

04

Products & internal tools

End-to-end software and calm internal tools across industries — replacing the spreadsheet, three forms, and an email thread with something that earns its keep. AI applied where it pays for itself.

Industries

Industry-agnostic, on purpose.

The throughline isn't a vertical — it's operator-grade software built with people who live in the work. A few corners we keep getting pulled back into:

  • Waste & logistics
  • Legal
  • Commercial real estate
  • Private equity
  • Professional services
  • Healthcare & family
  • FP&A & finance teams
  • Owner-operated businesses
The throughline

An operator who learned to build. Modern tools, a network of technical partners, and a strong preference for software that reconciles to reality.

Background

Inside the work.

Years of FP&A, financial modeling, and systems work across industries — three-statement and operating models, budgets and forecasts, sales and KPI dashboards, inventory forecasting, employee compensation and incentive plans, and route and unit-economics models (including one built for a trash hauler that priced fuel and disposal into every stop).

Alongside that, transaction work on both sides of the table — buy-side and sell-side support for private businesses, plus transaction support and systems integration across multiple ERPs inside private equity, where the numbers have to hold up under real scrutiny and the systems have to keep running on Monday morning.

That experience is now the front end of the studio. Rapid development moves us from spreadsheet to working tool in days; a network of engineers and domain experts makes sure what we ship is scalable, secure, and marketable — not just a clever prototype.

About

Charlie Harrison.

Finance and operations background, software studio out front. I run the Foundry as a home for models, products, and partnerships — direct, opinionated, allergic to bloat.
