LavaBlast is a very cool and exciting Gatineau Start-up, certainly one to keep an eye on. LavaBlast is a software company dedicated to streamlining and improving efficiencies in franchise operations. LavaBlast provides a platform that allows an entire franchise to be managed by the franchisor from a central location. The LavaBlast solution manages point of sale terminals, touch screen kiosks at franchisee locations and can be customized to meet the clients specific needs. The POS management, reporting capabilities and customization provide franchisors with a powerful software tool for managing and integrating the entire franchise under a single centralized point of control.

I found LavaBlast from a post on StartupOttawa and thought they seemed like an excellent fit with theCodeFactory business model. Jason Kealey promptly responded to my query on their website. After exchanging a few emails, Dominique Gingras provided a demo of their software on Tuesday of last week which blew me away, what an awesome product. Friday I met with Jason Kealey at Bridgehead on Bank Street. We chatted a bit and then went for a tour of the semi-finished, theCodeFactory. By the end of our meeting we had a hand shake agreement.

LavalBlast has an excellent product and I am really looking forward to furthering our partnership as we move forward.

Expect another partner announcement or two later this week. theCodeFactory prefers to do business with local companies and true to our mission we want to help local start-ups as best we can. If you are an Ottawa company with a product or service that you think might benefit theCodeFactory please feel free to contact me at ian ((-@-)) thecodefactory.ca
