Applications & Portals

We build web applications, iOS and Android apps, and portals for Singapore charities, social service agencies, associations and SMEs. A portal might serve members who renew each year, volunteers who sign up for shifts, beneficiaries following an application, or staff working through their cases, and each of them sees only what their role allows. Behind those screens sit the systems that do the work: case records, bookings and sign-ups, member registries, reports for your board or funder, and links to the tools you already use, so nobody has to type the same record twice. If an old system is slowing your team down, we replace it and bring the data with us.

A Singapore portal can sign people in with Singpass, which is open to any Singapore-registered organisation, with no setup fee, and the first 50,000 completed logins per month per UEN are free. Singpass cannot be the only sign-in option, so a portal that uses it needs a second way in as well. All integrations must meet FAPI 2.0 by 31 December 2026. Our Singpass integration page covers the detail.

For payments, businesses, associations and societies can receive PayNow through their UEN, and PayNow QR is part of the SGQR standard. Our PayNow QR library is open source, and our PayNow QR payments page explains how we put it to work.

Most projects begin with a free conversation and a look at how your team works today, spreadsheets and chat groups included. We agree in writing what the first release will do and what waits for a later one. We then build in short cycles and show you working screens along the way, so the staff and volunteers who will use the system can tell us what is wrong while it is still easy to change. If you are still deciding whether you need an app at all, our guide for Singapore organisations walks through that question.

The code sits in a repository in your organisation's name from the first commit, and the hosting, domains and app store accounts are registered to you too. We use widely used web and mobile technology, so another developer can take over if you ever move on. Most portals hold personal data, so access is set by role and checked on the server. Under the PDPA, you must notify the PDPC within 3 calendar days of assessing a data breach as notifiable, which means it is likely to cause significant harm or affects 500 or more people. Penalties go up to S$1 million, or 10% of Singapore turnover for organisations turning over more than S$10 million.

We give a fixed quote in Singapore dollars for the scope we agree, and the quote also lists what the system costs to run each month. Before you ask anyone for a quote, read what a website or app costs in Singapore and the questions to ask an IT vendor. A grant can co-fund the build, and which one fits depends on what kind of organisation you are:

• SMEs: the EDGE Grant replaced PSG on 30 September 2026. It covers up to 50% for SMEs, with up to S$30,000 a year for digital solutions, within an S$100,000 annual cap. Non-profits cannot apply.
• Social service agencies: the NCSS Transformation Sustainability Scheme offers up to 80% co-funding for up to 3 years. Part B covers bespoke projects such as custom web portals, up to S$150,000. Part C covers pre-scoped solutions, up to S$40,000 each.
• Charities: the Charities Capability Fund covers up to 80%, capped at S$40,000 per charity until 31 March 2027. Three comparable quotes are needed above S$6,000.

After launch you can call on us for support, keep an engineer on a FlexiTech retainer, or run the system yourselves with the documentation we leave behind.
