Fuse5 Automotive Software (FAS), a U.S.-based provider of business management solutions for the automotive aftermarket, announced that it has secured a development partnership with Launch Deck, an Iowa City-based software development firm.

“Three years ago, we began a search process to find a development company that would share our vision for what Fuse5 Automotive Software will be in the future. We needed an organization that would be flexible enough to think creatively while maintaining the integrity of the platform. After an extensive global search we discovered Launch Deck, a U.S.-based development company right in our back yard,” said John Bunting, CEO of Fuse5 Automotive Software.

“Continual improvement and advancement of our software is at the core of what we do. We have doubled the developmental capacity with this move and the decision to work with Launch Deck is a prime example of how we are continually striving to maintain Fuse5 Automotive Software as the most complete solution in the automotive aftermarket. The experience we’ve gained from our past development, has given us an edge to develop toward the future.” Bunting added.

He continued, “Throughout our history we have been willing to make changes to help each of our customers get stronger in a field where technology has been accepted as inflexible. Along that same line of thinking, we have created developmental channels for our customers to do private development in FAS allowing the customization of Fuse5 Automotive Software as well as giving the customer a chance to have more control over development for their specific needs.”

Launch Deck is a full-service software development agency that partners with high-growth technology companies to accelerate development and improve end-user experiences. The company transforms legacy applications through a proven agile development methodology that systematically leads to product improvements.

“It has been an honor partnering with an industry leader like Fuse5 Automotive Software that cares as deeply about the users of their products as we do. John Bunting and his team have proven to be relentless in improving their customers’ experience. We look forward to helping them achieve even more business value across the automotive industry in the years to come,” said Isaac Ingersoll, founder and chief operating officer at Launch Deck.
