Our whole thing
Technology shouldn't be a luxury for doing good.
Singapore's social service agencies, charities, associations and SMEs run on trust, and trust needs proper plumbing: Singpass login and Myinfo forms that fill themselves, PayNow QR for donations and fees, help desks and case systems that do not fall over at 2am, portals people can read in their own language. We build that, we hand you the keys, and we do not charge you rent on your own data.

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, let alone to Singpass. 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.
Migrant workers reading in a fourth language and caregivers with nobody to call get skipped. The digital gap widens for the very people who need the bridge.
On 4 February 2014 a small web, hosting and cloud shop was incorporated right here in Singapore. The whole point: serve the organisations bigger firms waved away as too small.
NUS Enterprise took us into its incubator, The Hangar. There we made a scheduling tool for shift workers called Certainty, then scrapped it. (Remember the name.) In 2016 we launched a procurement marketplace there too, and ran it until 2020.
Emil moved to Malaysia, and our tech team there started in Petaling Jaya.
COVID-19 made the choice for us: social service agencies became our main focus, and they still are. In those months, urgent tech for a charity looking after migrant workers' health, and a free hub that helped churches get online.
Our work with a national dementia care organisation here began, spanning its AWS infrastructure, hotline, case management and an app for caregivers. Across the Causeway, the Malaysian team moved into an office in SS15, Subang Jaya.
In Iloilo, Emil joined DigiHwy, and we began piloting satellite internet and solar power in island barangays.
In May, our Singapore and Malaysia crew and DigiHwy Philippines came together under one name. The Certainty half is that scrapped Hangar project, back for good. In November, work began with a green building certification body in Malaysia.
JoinNests launched: software for associations, shaped with the associations themselves rather than handed down to them. In the Philippines, our team brought Wi-Fi to six GIDA areas in Panay and a municipal network in Guimaras.
Still rooted where we started, with our Singapore office at 360 Dunearn Road and teammates in Malaysia and the Philippines. The promise hasn't moved: you own what we build, 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.

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 a project you run from 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!”
