On top of that we understand the importance of security and protecting users' data with the latest data structures, algorithms and cryptography.
Singapore is the world's hub and a hotspot for innovation. It's no wonder talented entrepreneurs, software developers and technology investors are flocking here. Singapore already houses large tech companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Stripe, Grab, Bigo, Shopee, and Tiktok. With an attractive business climate and innovative governance Singapore will continue to grow as a centre of innovation. Coined the "Silicon Valley of Asia" is going through an exciting period so if you have been waiting for the right time to get into the tech scene here, wait no more.
When developing a mobile app, you've got to make sure that the process is always an iteration. This way, you can focus on validating your design before you start adding additional features and costs. Our focus on validation will ensure that your app is beautiful and will satisfy your users. We develop software for Android and iOS devices by using either native, cross-platform or hybrid development. The tool we use is dependant on the use case.
We approach web app development with the same mindset we have when we make mobile apps. This means beginning and ending with the user. We typically use JavaScript (React, Vue, Node) for web development, but there are times when we might pitch you with a different language if your unique product would be better off with it. For web projects they rely heavily on machine learning or mathematical calculations, we integrate Python to create a robust product.
Although many enterprises are moving their software to the cloud using web technologies, there are still some cases where custom desktop software can be useful. We develop applications for MacOS and Windows using native and cross-platform technologies. We use Swift for native MacOS development and C#, or C++ for native Windows development. For Cross-platform desktop software development we use React Native, Flutter, or Electron. Additionally PWAs can also be installed on Windows, making them a great option.
Design is the difference between developing software features and developing software products that people can use. The best software products not only look great, but they are easy to use. They include advance functionality, but allow users to access the functionality with just a few taps or clicks. We take the user experience seriously when designing custom software products for our clients. We do this by fully understanding their business, as well as who their users will be, and then creating a user interface that best fits their use cases.
An application programming interface (API) is a software interface that allows two programs to connect to each other. An API can be plugged into existing applications to provide a specific solution to a problem. An API can be built once and used by multiple applications. It can be used to provide functionality for your application based on your database, such as getting data, uploading data, or, creating new users. An API can also be built as a product that other companies can use both open source and for profit. We build custom API software solutions that are fast, secure, and reliable.
When we're solving problems that we can't find a solution to, our Machine Learning developers can help. It's used to reduce cost, increase return on investment, and create new abilities for any industry. With machine learning algorithms we can build custom software products that better understand users by scanning through, text, voice, images or video to learn more about the content they are consuming and creating.
Data is becoming more and more important for businesses that want to access smart insights and predictions. By having a dashboard with all the insights about the business and customers it's for management easy to see what decisions should be made within the company. This is all made possible with custom data visualization software which takes large amounts of data and outputs it into easy to understand graphs and tables. With this you can understand millions of customers in just a few minutes.
With internet speeds increasing and constant improvement in hardware design, there has been a huge growth in the smart devices industry. Internet of Things, or more commonly named, IoT, refers to devices that are connected to software over internet connections. By developing custom IoT software solutions, devices can offer advanced functionality and allow people to have control over their devices by using their mobile phones.
Automation software can help companies automate certain operations that could be tedious and costly to do manually. By using software bots, you also ensure that the task will be completed with absolute accuracy and consistency. Our team specializes in creating custom software robots that learn and mimic human actions. Then they will be able to execute rules-based business processes for your company with 100% accuracy!
SaaS or software as a service allows companies to deliver services over the internet in the form of applications. We build custom SaaS software for mobile, web, desktop, APIs, and the cloud. When we design SaaS solutions we focus on the user case and the user to create the best possible user experience. And alongside that we build SaaS solutions that are able to scale with the growth of the service. As the service grows we will continue to help you add more features and maintain the software for as long as you need.
Software is being used by companies to digitize their operations and services. This provides great time and cost benefits and is also a huge continence. But it's not always obvious how software can be used for specific tasks. It takes a good understanding of the technical capabilities of software as well as the business and it's structure to solve this. This is where we come in. Our software consultants will work with you to help you devise a blueprint on where software can be used within your company and how it will benefit you in the long term.
Agile or Waterfall development? We’ll work with you to figure out what’s right for you.
Flexibility is key. We are willing to work with your existing structure or start from scratch.
We can write code in any language, but some are more well recognized, stable, and scalable than others. We find that JavaScript, Typescript, Python, Go, Kotlin, Swift and Dart are the most widely used at the moment. You will find that using the latest technologies available is a common trait among the top software development companies in Singapore.
Communication is very important to us. We share constant updates in a clear and easy to understand way.
After reaching out to us with your software development needs, timeframe and budget, we will work with you to find the best solution for your team. We are very flexible and always ready to solve new and exciting problems.
Planning is an essential step in any project, large or small. It allows us to lay a solid foundation to build upon. If we plan from the start, we can finish the project sooner with no delays from unexpected issues we need to resolve. During this phase we will draw up some sketches to plan the layout of the app and our software developers will work on the database and security architecture.
With the wireframes and plans we are ready to start making the software easy to navigate. Our UX designers understand how to match colors and elements to make the product look great and easy for anyone to use, even if they are not technologically inclined. As Steve Jobs famously said, "Design is how it works, not how it looks", we believe in that and work with our clients to design software that their users will love.
Now it's time to dive into the fun stuff. With all the plans set in place our software developers will use tools such as JavaScript, NodeJS, Vue, React, Python and Dart to build your custom software. During this stage we incorporate testing throughout to ensure the product is fast and bug free for our launch.
We will suggest a few hosting solutions to ensure your product is accessible to users at fast speeds and we will continue to work with you for future updates and maintenance as the project scales.
We create software that is tailored to each client's needs. Yours will match your unique selling points for a one-of-a-kind customer experience.
One of our primary goals as a company is building trust and delivering long-term value. We want to provide a cost-effective software solution for you, but know that we’re often too generous.
We love what we do. We care about our clients and are committed to helping them succeed. Our relationships with them are collaborative, and we think of ourselves as more than just a "standard" software supplier.
Whether you want to develop custom software for web, mobile, connected devices, build blockchain and crypto solutions, or build machine learning and data solutions, our global team of designers, software developers, UX specialist and product managers will work with you to develop an innovative digital solution. Here are what some of our past clients have said about us:
"Our company has several locations in Singapore and we wanted to hire a company to develop custom software for our internal operations. The team at Potado were able to build a very nice looking interface that we never would have been able to imagine was possible. It was so easy to use and just made a lot of sense. Because of that we required minimal training for our staff and saved us a lot of time. I am very happy I had this done as i've seen huge returns in terms of productivity of our staff and will be working with them again very soon!"
"We needed to quickly launch a product to test an idea out. We just has a rough idea about the functionality but had no idea how we would implement it. That's why we reached out to a software development company to help us move forward as soon as possible. During the strategy phase the team at Potado were fantastic, we were so excited once they started pitching how they would build out these features. I could see myself and other people wanting to use it and we ended up with a website, as well as mobile apps for Android and iOS, all in under 8 weeks."
