It all began in 2012 when dynamic duo Allen Ding and Alvin Ting, enthusiatiscally set off on a tech voyage. After a decade of helping businesses navigate the digital sphere, Snappymob has around 80 employees and over 80 developed projects. Here’s the story of how Snappymob a spot among the best web and app developers in Malaysia.
Who We Are — Our History & Milestones
Actively expanding in both Malaysia and India, Snappymob has been growing significantly over the past couple years. To date, we’ve delivered over 80 projects for businesses worldwide, and we’re proud of every team effort.
Over the years, we’ve helped brands digitally transform by designing, developing, and launching highly performant digital products. Providing guidance is part of our expertise, and we have our valued resources to make that possible. By priming our teams to adopt new technologies and skills, we’ve fostered a culture of excellence, inventiveness, and creative problem-solving.
As one of Malaysia’s top app developer, it’s no surprise that we hold user experience in high regard. User experience affects a digital product’s performance and market positioning, and it also turns users into lifelong advocates. Our care for this, we believe, is what differentiates our products from others that may tick the same checkboxes.
Where we began
Snappymob was founded in 2012, and has since then been providing software solutions for companies in a variety of industries. The co-founders, Allen Ding and Alvin Ting, both saw a gap in the market and leaped into the breach. What was once a little spark of an idea had turned into the Snappymob that it is today.
Back in 2005, Snappymob’s CEO and co-founder Allen Ding completed his degree in computer science at the UC, San Diego. Right after, Allen spent years honing his craft as a software engineer and consultant in the US, Malaysia, and Korea. It wasn’t until 2012 when Allen finally paired up with business and banking professional Alvin. They soon started an agency that offers software services under the name of Snappymob.
Allen and the team wanted to develop their own goods despite being a technology partner that helped brands digitalize. That was when Saved — the financial app that made it onto Apple App Store’s Best of 2015. It received multiple media coverage and was also listed as Editor’s Choice in France, Netherlands, Brazil, and Korea’s app stores. And this success was only the beginning of our journey. Today, Snappymob has seen growth that would’ve been unimaginable five years ago.
Milestones we’ve hit
Over the years in this fruitful journey, we’ve produced a myriad of awesome works that we’re proud of. We’ve delivered 80+ successful projects across Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, South Korea, Switzerland, Netherlands and the United States. We’re extremely honored to collaborate with many well-received brands including The Star, Astro, BFM, MoneyLion, CIMB Foundation, CoinGecko and Honeywell.
Some of our proudest achievements include seeing our own financial app, Saved, receive regular editorial features. We’ve also developed apps that have been crowned the #1paid and grossing app in multiple regions. By integrating Huawei product features into our client’s product, we won the Huawei Challenge Award and created Malaysia’s first Apple CarPlay and Android Auto software.
Our clients highly rate us on Clutch, a B2B research, ratings and reviews site that identifies leading IT and software providers, recognizing us as one of the top Malaysian app developers. This is an honor beyond the awards we have received.
Attaining this positivity has been heartening as we’ve always valued playing the role of a trusted partner to our clients. Nothing matters more to us than a happy client, and we’re glad to see our hard work come to fruition.
Over the past year, we’ve also taken big leaps in our cloud transformation journey with AWS. Besides becoming an AWS Select Partner in Malaysia, we also won the “Rockstar League” category. At the AWS Partner Network (APN) AWS Prospecting League, we generated the most business leads in APEC. We’re pleased to continue our cloud adventure with 5+ AWS certifications and several customer launches.
What We Value — Our Mission & Values
We’re not here to revolutionize the industry or change the landscape. We are here simply because we care about what we do, deeply. Our passionate and empathetic individuals who enjoy creating powerful products that assist users in solving problems and achieving their goals.
Our mission
In 2012, Snappymob came to life with one simple mission — to build best-of-breed apps for our users. Our goal is not to be the biggest, but to be a partner that cares and acts upon that care.
Our values
We are a team that believes in creating meaningful relationships not just with our clients but also with one another. Over the years, a few key tenets have come to shape our work and life here at Snappymob:
