We build custom business tools for Cork and Munster businesses. The internal systems that replace your spreadsheets, connect your workflows, and actually fit the way you work. Fixed price, EU-hosted, GDPR compliant.
9 production apps. Shopify Partner. Based in Cork.
Most software companies in Cork build websites, run marketing campaigns, and design brands. That's valuable work — but it's not what we do.
I need a proper system, not a website
You already have a website. What you need is the internal tool that replaces the spreadsheet your team dreads opening every Monday morning. The client portal that stops the phone ringing with status updates. The workflow that actually matches how your Cork business operates.
I got quoted €50,000 from a Dublin agency
Enterprise agencies charge enterprise prices. You don't need a team of twelve and a six-month discovery phase. You need one experienced developer who listens, builds fast, and charges fairly. That's what you get with JMS Dev Lab, right here in Cork.
Nobody builds for my industry
Your business is too niche for the off-the-shelf tools. Too small for Accenture to return your call. But your processes are real and your problems deserve proper software. We specialise in exactly this gap — the industries the big players ignore.
I want to talk to the people actually building it
No account managers, no project coordinators relaying messages, no offshore handoffs. When you work with JMS Dev Lab, you talk directly to the team writing the code. Based in Cork. Available for a coffee if it helps.
Not websites. Not marketing. The internal systems that make your business run properly.
That critical spreadsheet with 40 tabs and formulas nobody understands? We turn it into a proper web application your whole team can use — with validation, permissions, and no more accidental deletions.
Let your clients check progress, approve work, submit requests, and access documents themselves. Fewer phone calls, fewer emails, happier clients — and your team gets their mornings back.
Custom booking flows with the availability rules, reminders, and integrations that Calendly and the generic tools can't handle. Built around how your Cork business actually takes bookings.
Not Salesforce with a thousand fields you'll never use. A CRM built around your workflow, your terminology, and the things your Cork business actually tracks.
Custom Shopify apps that extend your store with the features Shopify doesn't offer out of the box. We're a Shopify Partner with three apps live on the Shopify App Store and a broader portfolio of specialist tools.
Staff portals, approval workflows, inventory trackers, quoting tools — the internal systems that save your team hours every week and stop things falling through the cracks.
You get an exact quote before any work starts. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises, no invoices that keep growing.

There are good developers everywhere. But there are real advantages to working with someone local.
No waiting until tomorrow for a reply from a different timezone. We're in Cork. We can meet in person if it helps. A coffee and a whiteboard often sorts out what a week of emails can't.
Your data stays in the EU. No US-hosted infrastructure that falls under the CLOUD Act. For Irish businesses handling customer data, this matters — especially post-Schrems II.
No account managers, no offshore teams, no ticket queues. You talk directly to the person writing the code. That means faster decisions, fewer misunderstandings, and software that actually matches what you asked for.
We don't just talk about building software — we ship it. Public examples include StaffHub, SpamShield and GrowthMap on the Shopify App Store, specialist business tools, open-source migration software, dashboards, and app websites built in-house.
No 60-page specification documents. No six-month timelines. We keep it simple.
You tell us what's not working. We listen, ask questions, and figure out whether we're the right fit. No jargon, no sales pitch. Over a call or a coffee in Cork — your choice.
You see working software within weeks, not months. We build in short cycles so you can give feedback early and often. No disappearing for three months and hoping for the best.
We hand it over, train your team, and stick around. Real support from the team that built it — not a call centre in another country.
