What Foresight Innovations Inc does

Foresight Innovations Inc is a privately held managed IT services and hardware reseller headquartered in Airdrie, Alberta, serving Western Canada with a focus on Southern Alberta. Originally established in 1996 as Doublejack Computers in Red Deer, the company has operated continuously for 28 years under founder-led management, with Kent McNeill serving as President alongside Wayne Goodwin (Director of Operations) and Sloan Goran (Office Manager).

The company's core offering is a bundled MiniPC solution built on the Trigkey S5 platform — an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800H system with 16GB DDR4 RAM, a 512GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and a fresh Windows 11 Pro installation configured with a local administrator account (bypassing Microsoft Account enrollment). Hardware is priced starting at $450 per unit, with peripheral bundles including monitors, wireless keyboard/mouse combos, speakers, and single ($58) or dual ($118) monitor arms. Beyond hardware, the company delivers professional services: free IT consultation, on-site installation and setup, multi-workstation deployments of up to 50 units with custom images, 8/5 or 24/7 ongoing IT support focused on root-cause resolution, technology training, procurement advisory (producing Business Requirements Documents for SMB clients), and custom PC builds.

The business model combines transactional hardware sales (e-commerce on useforesight.com plus direct sales) with higher-margin professional services delivered regionally. Foresight positions itself as vendor-agnostic, explicitly rejecting vendor lock-in tactics and positioning root-cause problem solving against competitors who sell upgrade paths and temporary fixes. The company has no disclosed investors, no parent organization, no patents, and no public customer references, and operates with a small team of approximately five people.
