Born from a real business. Building software that solves real problems.
JMS Dev Lab started where most good software starts: with a problem that needed solving.
We saw businesses in specific industries struggling with generic tools that didn't quite fit — spreadsheets, paper notes, and a patchwork of software that was never designed for how they actually work. So we started building tools that were.
Our first app, JewelryStudioManager, gave an entire industry a purpose-built CRM for the first time. Our second, StaffHub, brought structured training, team management, and communication to Shopify store owners who needed more than just a scheduling tool.
That same approach now extends beyond our own products. Businesses come to us with problems that off-the-shelf software can't solve, and we build custom solutions — bespoke web applications, Shopify integrations, and business tools — designed around their specific workflows.
Our mission: Build software that feels like it was made by someone who understands your business — because it was. Whether it's one of our own apps or a custom solution built for you.
We're a small, focused team based in the UK. We don't try to build everything for everyone. Instead, we go deep — learning specific industries inside and out, and building software that fits, whether that's a product on the Shopify App Store or a custom tool built directly for a client.
We don't build features for the sake of it. Every app starts with a genuine problem experienced by real people in a real business. If we wouldn't use it ourselves, we don't ship it.
We'd rather build two excellent apps than twenty mediocre ones. Deep industry knowledge beats broad surface-level coverage every time.
Your business data deserves the same protection as a bank's. Encryption, secure authentication, GDPR compliance — these aren't add-ons, they're foundations.
When you email us, a real person responds. We don't hide behind chatbots or ticket queues. If something's broken, we fix it. If a feature doesn't exist yet, we tell you honestly.
