Case Study: Derive Systems achieves flexible headless CMS and faster content updates with Cosmic

Derive Systems runs on Cosmic

Derive Systems is a leading automotive technology company with over 2 million software installations that connects vehicles and engines to the digital world, enabling improved performance, fuel efficiency and safety. Seeking a headless CMS that gave developers out-of-the-box flexibility while providing a familiar dashboard for content managers, Derive Systems chose Cosmic and implemented its headless CMS and GraphQL API to power Blog, Press, About and Team content within a Next.js/React/Express stack.

Cosmic’s content modeling tools and GraphQL API allowed Derive to deliver small, fast payloads and make easy updates to news and blog content, reducing development friction and speeding time-to-content. The Derive front-end team cited easy integration and strong support from Cosmic, and the company now maintains a streamlined content workflow that supports its VQ Active Telematics offerings and ongoing product development.
