About Fuze
Fuze was born out of a pattern we could not fix with another spreadsheet. The same people were due the same items every month. Missed appointments, overdue training, and medical readiness gaps kept reappearing.
In the Reserves, time is compressed. You get a UTA weekend. If requirements are not communicated early and completion is not visible quickly, the unit pays for it in readiness and credibility.
The story
It started with a simple goal. Save time for our full-time reservist, an SMSgt who spent hours every month building a weekend newsletter. It included schedules, notes, training, appointments, medical items, and last-minute changes.
The effort was not the issue. The format was. The newsletter went out as a PDF. There was no way to know who read it, who acted on it, or what changed once the weekend started.
I built a local HTML tool to speed up the newsletter build. It helped with publishing, but it did not solve accountability.
My wife asked a simple question that changed the scope. “Are you just putting a band-aid on this for the 419th?”
If I leave, can anyone else update the tool? Even if they can, does it solve the same problem for other units dealing with email chains, Excel trackers, myLearning screenshots, paper rosters, SharePoint pages, and last-second SMS messages?
The honest answer was no. The only real fix was an app. Something repeatable. Something any unit could run. She said, “Then build it.”
The problem
- PDF newsletters are one-way communication.
- Requirements live across disconnected tools.
- Leaders do not see misses until it is too late.
- The same overdue items repeat month after month.
Why missed appointments matter
Medical groups have limited appointment capacity during UTA. When a member misses a scheduled appointment, that slot usually cannot be backfilled.
The result is a readiness deficit the base cannot easily recover from. Reschedules push out, gaps widen, and the unit falls further behind.
What Fuze is
Web app for builders
Built for the people publishing the weekend plan. Fast, repeatable newsletter creation without heroics.
Mobile app for members
Built for traditional reservists. Where to be, what to bring, and what must get done, before the weekend starts.
Dashboards for leaders
Focused on exceptions. Missed appointments, overdue training, and medical items, surfaced while the weekend is still in progress.
The Fuze promise
Know where to be and what to do before the weekend starts. Leadership knows what is done by the end of the weekend. Fuze is a readiness and communication platform designed for Reserve and Guard units to manage training, appointments, and accountability without advertising or data resale
SVN Ventures
SVN Ventures is a veteran-owned builder group focused on practical software for operational teams.
The team that helped close the Combat Ammunition System and launch the Theater Integrated Combat Munitions System has regrouped to solve the next problem. Clear requirements, visible completion, and restored accountability without added bureaucracy.
