WHAT WE BUILD

Mobile Apps, Web Apps, and the Engineering That Keeps Them Running

  • Mobile App Development

    iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps built for performance and longevity. Modern frameworks, production standards, and the same level of engineering rigour whether it is a customer-facing app or an internal enterprise tool.

  • Web App Development

    Scalable web applications built on modern front-end and back-end architectures. Designed for complex integrations, high availability, and users who will not tolerate slow or unreliable software.

  • Outsource App Development

    CBTW engineers work as an integrated part of your organisation. Same standards, same governance, same accountability as in-house staff, without the hiring timeline.

  • System Integration

    Connecting mobile and web apps to core systems, third-party APIs, and cloud platforms. This is where a lot of projects get complicated, and where domain knowledge in financial services, telecoms, and enterprise platforms makes a real difference.

  • Advanced QA Engineering

    Quality controls built into the delivery lifecycle from the start. Test automation, performance testing, and behaviour-driven development, shifting quality left so issues are caught before they reach production.

  • Low-Code Development

    For use cases where faster time to market is the priority and the underlying logic can be safely abstracted, we deliver on platforms including Mendix. A practical option when speed matters and the business logic does not require a fully custom build.

Work That Reflects What We Are Capable Of

A global digital payments leader

CBTW designed and built a contactless payment app for a major international event: card management, Apple and Google Pay integration, a real-time engagement and gamification engine, and an event-wide leaderboard. The delivery team of 30 engineers operated from Ho Chi Minh City under Singapore client oversight across an 18-month engagement, producing a platform that showcased the client’s digital payment capabilities to partner banks.

WHY ORGANISATIONS CHOOSE CBTW

A Different Category of Engineering Partner

  • Security built in

    CBTW has established an Information Security Management System aligned with ISO 27001:2022, covering the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information across our operations. Security is built into how we deliver, not applied at the end of a project.

  • Continuity, not just delivery

    We do not ship and disappear. Across our Singapore engagements, product knowledge accumulates in the team, engineering standards mature over time, and the relationship outlasts any individual project. That continuity is deliberate, and it is what our clients come back for.

  • AI-enhanced delivery

    Our teams use GitHub Copilot and Cursor for development, testRigor for QA automation, and n8n and Power Automate for workflow automation. Embedded into how we work, which means faster delivery without compromising quality.

  • Scale that smaller agencies cannot match

    With over 2,500 engineers across 20+ countries, CBTW can support projects that grow well beyond the initial brief without requiring you to find a new partner.

  • Temenos partnership

    CBTW is a multi-regional certified Temenos partner, named Regional Delivery Partner of the Year in 2022 and 2024. For financial services digital and mobile banking work, a verifiable credential not many vendors in Singapore hold.

  • Domain knowledge that shortens delivery

    Understanding the operating environment before writing a line of code reduces requirements clarification time, lowers the risk of rework, and produces software that fits where it will actually run.

HOW WE WORK

A Process Built for Environments Where Ambiguity Is Expensive

Discovery
Business goals, tech environment, and integrations mapped before design or build. Output: requirements, personas, and timeline.
Design and Architecture
UI/UX and architecture defined together, with integration points resolved before wireframes, mockups, and development
Build
Sprint-based delivery with weekly demos, AI-assisted development, automated testing, and staging before each release
QA and Testing
Automated testing and performance checks run throughout, shifting quality left to resolve issues before release.
Launch and Support
Production deployment with structured handover, support SLA, and L3 support for long-term engagements.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Things Singapore Buyers Usually Want to Know

  • How is CBTW different from other mobile app developers in Singapore?

    How is CBTW different from other mobile app developers in Singapore?

    How is CBTW different from other mobile app developers in Singapore?

    Most Singapore app developers are set up for startups and SMEs. CBTW works at the enterprise level, with banks, financial services firms, major telecoms providers, and large regional businesses. The difference is the calibre of requirements, the complexity of integrations, and the standards of security and governance that those clients expect. ISO 27001 certification, a Temenos partnership, and a multi-year engagement with one of Singapore’s major banks are not credentials that smaller agencies hold.

    What does outsourcing app development with CBTW actually look like?

    Your engagement is managed from Singapore. CBTW engineers work as an integrated part of your team, under your governance and delivery standards. For projects that require additional capacity, delivery can draw on CBTW’s broader engineering network. The oversight, accountability, and quality controls remain consistent regardless of where engineers are located.

    How long does mobile app development take?

    A typical engagement runs from 4 to 8 months for initial delivery, depending on complexity, integration requirements, and any regulatory considerations involved. CBTW produces a defined timeline and milestone structure during the discovery phase. Projects do not move to build without one. For organisations that need engineers in place faster, a dedicated team extension can be operational within 4 to 8 weeks for common roles and seniorities.

    How much does mobile app development cost?

    The cost depends on the scope, the complexity of integrations, the regulatory requirements, and the engagement model. CBTW works with organisations on project-based delivery for defined initiatives and team extensions for ongoing capacity. We will give you a structured estimate after an initial scoping conversation, based on what your project actually requires rather than a standard package price.

    What industries do you have experience in?

    Banking and financial services, telecommunications, payments and loyalty platforms, retail and e-commerce, and enterprise software. For each of these, CBTW brings genuine domain knowledge, not just engineering capacity. That means understanding the compliance requirements, the integration constraints, and the delivery standards each environment demands before the first sprint begins.

    What happens after the app launches?

    We offer structured post-launch support with an SLA, and L3 support for long-term engagements. Several of our most significant Singapore client relationships began with a defined project and grew into multi-year partnerships covering ongoing development, platform maintenance, and system evolution. Launching an app is a starting point, not the finish line.
