Today we're excited to officially launch JMS Dev Lab — a software company focused on building industry-specific Shopify apps that solve real problems for real businesses.
Where We Started
JMS Dev Lab grew out of Moores Jewellers, a family jewellery business based in the UK. For years, we managed our custom commission workflow with a mix of spreadsheets, paper notes, and generic CRM tools that were never quite right.
We needed software that understood what a jewelry commission pipeline looks like — from initial inquiry and consultation through design approval, production, and delivery. We needed client profiles that tracked ring sizes, metal preferences, and design inspiration alongside the usual contact details. And we needed a way for our clients to follow their piece's journey without constant phone calls and emails.
When we couldn't find anything that fit, we built it ourselves.
JewelryStudioManager
Our first app, JewelryStudioManager, is a full CRM built specifically for jewelry designers and studios. It includes:
- Commission tracking through a complete jewelry workflow (inquiry → consultation → design → approval → production → delivery)
- Client management with jewelry-specific preferences
- Consultation scheduling with email reminders
- A client portal where customers can view progress, approve designs, and book appointments
- Shopify integration for syncing customers, orders, and products
- Analytics and revenue dashboards
It's available on the Shopify App Store starting at $9.99/month with a 14-day free trial.
StaffHub
Building JewelryStudioManager taught us something important: there are industries everywhere full of people using tools that don't quite fit their workflows. So we built our second app.
StaffHub is a team training and management app for Shopify store owners. It brings structured onboarding, shift scheduling, performance reviews, and team messaging into one place — all integrated with your Shopify store. It's available in five languages and starts at $4.99/month.
What's Next
We're not stopping at two apps. Our approach is simple: we look for industries where people are struggling with generic tools, we learn their workflows inside and out, and we build software that fits.
If you're running a business on Shopify and wish your tools understood your industry better, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch — your workflow might inspire our next app.
