JAM 21

A technology practice

Technology that works with your business.

We help you fix disconnected tools, duplicated data and the manual work that fills the gaps. First we understand the problem. Then we build the smallest practical thing that helps.

JAM 21 is not a conventional web agency. If the useful move is to leave a system alone, that is what we will say.

01 — What we fix

The work is stuck between the tools.

These are the patterns we see most often. Each one has a smaller fix than a new platform.

Hours lost to manual copy-pasting
Fix

Automated workflows that move the data, so people can stop being the join between systems.

CRMs, payments and inboxes that don't talk
Fix

Integrations that keep one set of facts, instead of three versions of the same customer.

Routine document sorting and email triage
Fix

Practical AI that classifies, drafts and summarises, with a person still deciding what goes out.

Clunky off-the-shelf software
Fix

A custom internal tool shaped around the job, small enough that people will actually use it.

03 — Approach

A short path from the problem to something useful.

Read the approach
  1. 01

    Discover

    We sit with the work as it happens and write down what is actually stuck.

  2. 02

    Shape

    We choose the smallest change that would help, and we name what we will not build.

  3. 03

    Build

    We make that thing, put it in front of the people who use it, and adjust it until it holds.

04 — Work

An example of the shape of the work.

Example · not a client project

Membership organisation

Membership payments stopped being re-keyed

New members paid online, then a person copied each payment into a spreadsheet and again into the membership list. Names and figures on the full write-up are illustrative.

The practice

Led by Gary Hili

JAM 21 is led by Gary Hili, Lead Product Engineer. The practice is for businesses whose tools no longer match the work, and who want a practical fix rather than a larger stack.

A discovery call is a conversation about the work. Bring the awkward process. We will help you see the smallest useful next step.
