Business model

The company is a digital solution and application development specialist. The solutions involve digitalising their customers’ business operations through the development of mobile and web applications as well as the provision of digital platform-based services, as follows:

  1. development of mobile and web applications;
  2. provision of digital platform-based services;
  3. provision of subscription, hosting, technical support, and maintenance services.

The business can be summarised in the business model below:


Development of mobile and web applications

The company is principally involved in the development of mobile applications for customers (i.e. businesses and companies) from various industries/sectors such as healthcare, logistics, oil and gas, automotive, financial services and government agencies. The mobile applications developed for businesses and companies comprise commercial applications that are made available to their customers, suppliers and/or business associates; as well as consumer mobile applications which are made available to the public whereby users can download these mobile applications from Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei AppGallery. They also develop enterprise mobile applications which are for their customers’ internal use by the employees whereby users can download these mobile applications from the customers’ internal distribution platform (i.e. intranet) or online application stores (i.e. Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei AppGallery).

Apart from the development of mobile applications, the company also develops web applications for businesses and companies. The web applications developed for our customers are generally extended/additional applications to complement the mobile applications developed for them as a complete digital solution, notwithstanding, they also provide web application development services on a standalone basis.



Digital platform-based services

The company’s provision of digital platform-based services is intended for its customers (i.e. businesses and companies) to perform different tasks such as hosting events and connecting to / interacting with customers as well as for e-commerce-related transactions, amongst others. These digital platform-based services are provided through mobile or web applications developed and owned by the Group, and its customers and authorised users can use these applications when given access by the Group. The company’s customers can also integrate some of these applications to their own mobile and/or web applications via API, whereby in such cases, the applications serve as a mini-application that allows the customers to carry out additional functions on their mobile and/or web applications. These digital platform-based services are provided to the customers on a subscription model and/or per-usage / per-event basis based on the pre-agreed rates with the Group.


Subscription, hosting, technical support, and maintenance services

The company provides subscription, hosting, technical support and maintenance services to businesses and companies for their mobile and web applications. These services are provided for a pre-agreed period typically ranging from 3 months to 12 months, thus generating recurring revenue for the Group.

1. Subscription and hosting

To enable mobile and web applications for deployment, commercialisation and continuous usage, mobile and web applications are required to run on a computing platform and hosted on cloud servers or on-premises servers at the customers’ designated sites. A computing platform allows mobile and web applications to be deployed and managed; a server is used as storage and backup of the applications’ coding and data. The Group provides subscription and hosting services to its customers under several third-party cloud computing platforms. The cloud computing platforms used by the Group for its subscription and hosting services comprise Microsoft Azure, AWS and Huawei Cloud.

As part of the application development projects, the company provides subscription and hosting services for the applications upon deployment if required by the customers by bundling the services to its application development services. The subscription and hosting services for mobile and web applications are on a quarterly or annual basis and are subject to renewal by its customers. The minimum period for the subscription and hosting services is 3 months, and as at the LPD, the company has an existing subscription and hosting engagements with 14 customers for up to 3 years. Among these 14 customers, 7 of them have engaged the subscription and hosting services for at least 2 years.

2. Technical support and maintenance services

As part of after-sales service following the completion of application development projects, the company generally provides complimentary technical support and maintenance services for a period of 2 months, after the applications go live. Subsequent to that, the customers have the option to continue to engage them for technical support and maintenance for their mobile and web applications on a quarterly/bi-annual/annual basis. Among the customers who have previously engaged the company for application development projects, 38 of these customers engaged the Group for technical support and maintenance services in the Financial Years Under Review, which represented 31.7% of the total number of application development customers which was 120 customers. However, 4 out of these 120 customers engaged them for application development prior to the Financial Years Under Review. The continuous engagements for the technical support and maintenance services are subject to renewal by the customers depending on the customers’ requirements. Apart from that, upon customers’ request, the company also provides technical support and maintenance services to businesses and companies that do not engage us for application development and digital solutions. The minimum period of the technical support and maintenance services is 3 months, and as at the LPD, the company has existing technical support and maintenance engagements with 28 customers for up to 3 years. Among these 28 customers, 13 of them have engaged the technical support and maintenance services for at least 2 years.
