Our whole thing
Technology shouldn't be a luxury for doing good.
Technology should not be a luxury reserved for organisations with money to burn. The charities, the associations, the small businesses: the people doing the hardest work usually get handed the worst software at the highest price. We have been fixing that since 2014, and in Malaysia since 2018, one organisation at a time.

Practical tools for going digital, free for any organisation, from a two-person charity to a growing small business.
Built for
Overpriced logins. Systems that refuse to talk to each other. Vendors who ghost you the second the invoice clears. Meanwhile, real people are waiting for real help.
Enterprise pricing for non-enterprise budgets. Charities and small firms pay full freight with a fraction of the runway.
Closed systems that quietly hold your data hostage. You never really owned any of it.
Rural communities, small charities and family businesses get skipped. The digital gap widens for the very people who need the bridge.
Incorporated in Singapore on 4 February 2014 as a web, hosting and cloud services shop for small organisations, the ones everyone else considered too small to serve.
Incubated at NUS Enterprise's The Hangar, we built a shift-scheduling system called Certainty and later scrapped it. The name came back in the 2020s as the second half of DigiHwy Certainty, and in 2016 we launched a procurement marketplace from The Hangar.
Emil Ng relocated to Malaysia and hired our first full-time developer, Fakhzan Azwan. The Malaysian tech team started in Petaling Jaya.
During COVID-19, social service agencies became our main focus: emergency tech for a migrant-worker health charity and a free hub for churches going online.
The Malaysian team moved into our SS15, Subang Jaya office. Our partnership with a national dementia care organisation began: AWS infrastructure, a hotline, case management and a caregiver app.
Emil joined DigiHwy in Iloilo, founded in 2021 by Joemer and Teofy Decatoria as IOT Digital Hiway Inc. Satellite internet and solar pilots followed in two island barangays, and in December, internet and a delegate app for a national youth jamboree of about 40,000 delegates.
In May, the Singapore and Malaysia team and DigiHwy Philippines came together as DigiHwy Certainty. From November, we worked with a green building certification body in Malaysia.
JoinNests launched, software for associations built with them rather than at them. In Panay, a regional government programme funded Wi-Fi for six GIDA areas, and we took on a municipal managed network in Guimaras.
One team across Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, with the same promise: you own what we build for you, and the price is the price.

The programme where the software was never the hard part. The hard part was getting a working machine and a usable signal into a rural community, then teaching people what to do with them.

DigiHwy Certainty programme team
A free, honest conversation about your mission and constraints. No pitch, no pressure: often you leave with a clearer plan whether or not we work together.
A practical roadmap that fits your reality: budget, team, and timeline included. You'll understand every step before we write a line of code.
Your data stays yours. Open standards, no vendor lock-in, no surprise fees. Built to be handed over, not held hostage.
We don't disappear once the invoice clears. Support, iteration, and a real relationship, because your mission doesn't end at launch.

Email, domains, cloud calling and helplines in your name, without enterprise bills.
QR payments that reconcile themselves, and multilingual sites your team can update.
Laptops, door access and cabling set up and tracked, and a signal where there is none.

In the Philippines we run Smart Barangay: satellite-backed internet, community networks, solar power, apps that survive a weak signal, and IoT for farms and disaster relief. If your project in Malaysia or Singapore needs any of it, the same crew comes and does it.

Ask about rural connectivity“Family of Wisdom Centre was 100% manual before DigiHwy Certainty came into the picture. My programme staff had to work overtime every evening to complete their case reports on paper case files. Thank you, Emil and his excellent team of IT developers, who have digitalised all our manual work. I look forward to engaging DigiHwy Certainty again for our 2.0!”
