Welcome to GJAON Technologies
Why we started GJAON, what we're building, and how we think about software studios in 2026.
GJAON Technologies started with a simple frustration: every business we knew was held together with software duct tape.
A retailer running Instagram DMs, Excel sheets, a separate POS, and a WhatsApp group. A startup paying for five tools that almost talked to each other. An agency client whose "MVP" was three years old and held together by a single developer's memory.
We thought we could do better. So we started building both — products for ourselves, and software for clients who wanted the same level of care we put into our own work.
What we build for ourselves
SellSquare is our flagship — a business operating system for retailers, wholesalers, and service businesses. One app that handles point-of-sale, inventory, customers, payments, and a public marketplace storefront with an AI sales assistant baked in.
Chatalog is the buyer-side companion — a mobile app that lets shoppers chat with merchants through an AI storefront, save favorite stores, and complete purchases conversationally.
We dogfood everything. Every feature we ship to clients has already survived our own production traffic.
What we build for clients
Six things: web and mobile apps, UI/UX design, digital marketing, video editing, graphic design, and data analysis. We're deliberately not a 50-service shop — we do what we're great at and refer the rest out.
How we work
Three principles guide every engagement:
- Ship the product, not the slides. Decks are easy; working software in production is hard. We optimize for the second.
- Operate like a partner. We argue with clients when we think they're wrong. That's worth more than agreement.
- Sweat the small things. Empty states, error messages, microcopy, motion — the details people don't notice are the ones that make them stay.
What's next
This blog is where we'll share how we build — the architecture decisions behind SellSquare, the marketing experiments that work (and the ones that don't), case studies from client work, and the occasional opinion on where software is going.
If any of that resonates and you have a project in mind — we'd love to hear from you. Start a conversation here.
