Jump Shopping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump Shopping is South Africa's leading Online Shopping search engine and directory.
Jump Internet Technology’s history spans over 8 years of innovating products and change. The first time Jump.co.za was launched, October 1998, Jaco Roux attempted to crawl South Africa’s online inventory and by doing so Jump was known as a leading Search Engine in those days.
Jump evolved over the years, first becoming an online shopping website selling computer hardware and software. With the tough competition in this area, Jump was forced to change and get bigger.
At the end of 2003, Jump Shopping got bigger by importing data from merchants making more products available to the consumers. Jump Shopping’s range included everything from Flowers, Music, CD, Games, Wine as well as cigars. Agreements currently in place included Digital Planet, Look and Listen, BT Games and many more.
But more change was needed as the Internet is an ever changing industry and without change, you could be left behind, and Jump would always strive to be the leader. Jump also launched the Online Shopping Directory for South Africa. This directory currently lists just more than 500 online e-commerce enabled stores in South Africa.
