What is Jumpstart?

Jumpstart is the foundation we build custom, database-driven business applications on, from CRMs and inventory systems to an “everything app” that runs your whole operation.

Every Jumpstart application shares the same proven core, typically more than 90% of the project. Only the small part that is unique to your business is new code, so you get software that fits like it was built from scratch, delivered like software you bought off the shelf.

  • Made for the way your business works.
  • Delivered on time and on budget.
  • Built on tried-and-tested code.
  • Keeps improving with free updates.

Jumplawn, a lawn-care business application built on Jumpstart.

A dashboard shows what is outstanding, what was invoiced this month, today's jobs, a year of invoicing as a chart, and the overdue invoices. In edit mode, a Revenue by service chart is found by searching the widgets and added to an empty spot on the dashboard.

Your numbers, at a glance

Everyone gets dashboards of the figures that matter to them: what's outstanding, what was invoiced, today's jobs, and charts you can read point by point. Adding another takes a few clicks, right where you want it.

  • Figures, charts, tables and lists.
  • Arranged and sized in place.
  • Shared dashboards for the whole team.

A customer is found by searching, a note is added on their record and saved, and the record's timeline shows the change, who made it and when, beside the customer's jobs and invoices.

Every change, on the record

Find any customer in a keystroke, update their details right on the page, and see every change on the record's timeline, with who made it and when, beside their jobs and invoices.

  • Search every record instantly.
  • Edit in place, then save.
  • A full history of every change.

From an overdue invoice, the invoice email is sent from a template: addressed to the customer, with a subject, a branded body and the invoice attached as a PDF, all filled in from the invoice. Then a Chase payment task is made for the invoice from its template, with its due date worked out.

Paperwork that does itself

Email an invoice in a few clicks: the message, your branding and the PDF are all filled in from the invoice. Then start the follow-up task from a template, due date and all.

  • Emails, texts and documents from templates.
  • Your branding on everything you send.
  • Tasks that know when they're due.

Key features

Included as standard in every Jumpstart application, at no extra cost.

AI assistant

Ask a question in plain English and get answers from your own data, with links to the records. It can suggest changes too, made only when you confirm them, and it never sees more than you may.

Built around your business

Customers, jobs, orders, inventory: whatever your business runs on gets its own lists, forms and record pages, shaped to the way your team already works.

On every device

At a desk or out in the field, Jumpstart runs in any browser on phones, tablets and computers, and installs like an app on a home screen or desktop.

Dashboards

Everyone builds their own dashboards of the figures, charts and lists they care about, and managers can share dashboards with the whole team.

Automated emails, texts and documents

Send emails, text messages, Word documents and PDFs straight from a record, filled in from your data and branded as yours. Write the template once and nobody types it again.

Every change is recorded with who made it and when. Need to know who edited a customer's address, or what it used to be? Jumpstart has the answer.

Jumpstart already has all of that, so typically only about 10% of your project is new code.
