Built to help organizations see clearly and Act Decisively

Syntaris Solutions was founded to support organizations operating in complex, high-consequence supply chain environments, especially where supplier performance, material visibility, procurement execution, and program risk directly affect customer commitments and mission outcomes.


The company was created around a practical belief: supply chain problems are rarely just supply chain problems. They are program problems, customer problems, cash flow problems, execution problems, and leadership problems.


Syntaris exists to help organizations bring structure, visibility, and disciplined execution to those moments.

Mission & Vision

Mission

Syntaris Solutions helps customers understand, stabilize, and improve complex supply chains with clarity, discipline, and confidence.

To become a trusted supply chain intelligence company that combines operational execution, customer partnership, and advanced modeling to improve the resilience of mission-critical supply chains.

Values

Honor the Craft

Know the Customer

Carry the Thread

  

We believe great companies are built by people who care deeply about what they do. Every role matters. Every discipline matters. Every detail matters. From the front office to the warehouse floor, from procurement to analytics, from logistics to engineering, excellence begins with pride in the craft.


We value people who are curious, disciplined, and committed to getting better. We do not believe craftsmanship is limited to technical experts or senior leaders. It belongs to anyone who chooses to take their work seriously, improve continuously, and bring thoughtful care to the profession they have chosen.

Carry the Thread

Know the Customer

Carry the Thread

We believe our work is connected. Every decision has inputs, outputs, dependencies, consequences, and second-order effects. We take the time to understand how our actions affect customers, suppliers, teammates, schedules, inventory, cost, risk, and mission performance.


We do not hide behind excuses, narrow job descriptions, or isolated tasks. We anticipate risk, communicate early, develop proactive courses of action, and stay engaged until the work is meaningfully advanced. Carrying the thread means understanding the whole system well enough to protect the outcome, improve the path, and help others execute with confidence.

Know the Customer

Know the Customer

Know the Customer

We believe customer commitment requires more than responsiveness. It requires context. We seek to understand the customer’s priorities, pressures, constraints, stakeholders, operating environment, data environment, and definition of success. We listen closely, ask better questions, and work to see the problem from the customer’s point of view.


Our growth will come from deep customer understanding, not transactional touchpoints. We aim to become trusted partners by aligning our work to the customer’s reality and helping them make better decisions, reduce friction, and improve outcomes.

Sustain the Fire

Sustain the Fire

Know the Customer

We believe meaningful work requires energy, discipline, focus, and intensity. Syntaris Solutions is intended for people who want to do excellent work, solve hard problems, and bring uncommon effort to the challenges in front of them.


We also believe people perform at their best when their lives have depth beyond the job. Family, health, learning, service, adventure, creativity, and personal purpose are not distractions from excellence; they are part of what sustains it. We will work hard, celebrate wins, protect trust, and build a culture where high performance and full lives reinforce each other.

Raise the Tide

Sustain the Fire

Raise the Tide

We believe business should create lift beyond the company itself. Syntaris Solutions exists to build stronger customers, stronger employees, stronger suppliers, and stronger communities. Profit matters, but it is not the only measure of value.


We seek growth that improves the system around us. When customers perform better, suppliers mature, employees grow, communities benefit, and programs succeed, the entire ecosystem becomes stronger. We intend to make money by creating value that lasts.

Our Operating Philosophy

Practical Before Theoretical

Syntaris focuses on tools, actions, and decisions that customers can use immediately.

Mission Before Noise

We prioritize the work that protects customer commitments, program outcomes, and operational continuity.

Structure Before Scale

Durable improvement starts with clear visibility, disciplined cadence, and accountable ownership.

Data with Context

Data matters, but only when it is connected to supplier realities, program constraints, and executive decision-making.

Recovery With a Path Forward

The goal is not only to fix the immediate issue, the goal is to leave the customer stronger, clearer, and better prepared for the next challenge.

Founder-Led Experience

Syntaris Solutions is led by Charles Harwood, whose career has been built inside the kinds of environments this firm now serves: complex programs, constrained supply chains, and organizations where execution gaps have real consequences.


Charles has worked directly in aerospace and defense settings where supplier performance, procurement decisions, and program outcomes were tightly coupled. His experience is not abstract or advisory in nature; it comes from operating inside programs where delays, shortages, and misalignment had to be addressed in real time. 


His background includes work developed at Boeing and Raytheon, along with roles supporting and partnering across the broader defense industrial base. He has worked with prime contractors, government customers, and technical teams responsible for delivering under pressure, often with incomplete information and competing priorities.


Across these roles, Charles has led supply chain initiatives, supported program execution, worked supplier issues, contributed to business growth efforts, developed and helped translate operational data into decisions that leadership could act on. His work has consistently sat at the intersection of functional supply chain execution, program performance, growth-fueled strategic planning, and decision-making.


Syntaris reflects that experience. The firm is built around the idea that most organizations do not need more theory - they need clearer visibility, better team alignment, and practical ways to move from data to action. The approach is grounded in how programs actually operate: fragmented information, competing demands, and the constant need to make decisions with imperfect inputs. Syntaris exists to bring structure to that environment and help organizations act with greater clarity and confidence.
