If you must know, before we started off the company, the product that we had in mind was “IDrona”. There weren’t any plans of making a SaaS based suite of Business applications, let alone any research or market sizing about the need of such a suite. The only reason jusbill.com was born was because we really really wanted to make IDrona.
I belong to a business family running a small manufacturing unit. A small factory with limited resources – legal, people, marketing or financial. This small business runs like most other small businesses, which is, in a fire-fighting mode. Hence while there was always finance & sales & operations to take care of, the focus of my daily actions was that activity which was on fire. There were systems in place, accounting & production & regulatory but those systems were not helping.
Jusbill was born out of the top floor of this factory, built by a team of people who understood programming & software and business and the usual problems of a small business. It was built with an intuitive user-interface because the office-staff wasn’t computer savvy; it was built online because the business is 24X7 and operational from everywhere – home, office, car, client’s office, restaurant, port; it was built to handle most aspects so that activities can be managed quickly, efficiently, automatically and in an error free fashion; it was built to be secure and with roles and workflows built into it.
Jusbill benefits from the knowledge of these nuances, those intricacies and that insider information. It benefits from being tested in that actual environment and being able to deliver in that actual environment.
IDrona, by the way is still in development and should see the light soon!
