DaySmart Software, Inc.

DaySmart Software, Inc. was founded by Chris and Mark Jackson in March 1999 under the name CMJ Designs, Inc. (CMJ, an acronym for Chris and Mark Jackson). On January 1, 2011 the name of the company changed from CMJ Designs, Inc. to DaySmart Software, Inc.[2]

DaySmart Software works with the University of Michigan-Dearborn's engineering and computer sciences departments on co-ops and work programs.[3]

DaySmart Software's first software product was designed for salons and spas. Initially branded Salon 2000, the software was rebranded in Aug. 2001 as Salon Iris and remains DaySmart Software's flagship product.[4] The company has also expanded to pet grooming software, medical spa software, tattoo industry software, and web services.[5][6][7][8]

In parallel with their software product updates, DaySmart has also worked on mobile application development. Each product features a mobile application for handheld devices like tablets and phones. These applications can be downloaded and installed from the Apple iTunes Store or Google Play Store.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
