1 Story of 2 founders who found their way with just 3 team members including them

In 2020, when the world was grappling with unprecedented challenges, two visionary entrepreneurs, August Wong and Jo Lee, saw an opportunity. They recognized that the rapid acceleration of digital transformation, driven by the global pandemic, would require businesses to rethink their operations. With a deep passion for technology and a shared vision for the future, they founded Apping Technology, a company that would go on to make a significant impact in the world of business process outsourcing (BPO) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.

Building the Foundation

From the outset, August and Jo were committed to building a company that wasn’t just another tech startup. They wanted Apping Technology to stand out by doing the right thing (Honesty), driven by an unwavering passion (Passion), to create meaningful impact (Impact), and by always being proactive in seeking solutions (Proactive). These core values have guided every decision and action since the company’s inception.

The early days were not without challenges. The global economy was in turmoil, and businesses were tightening their budgets. But August and Jo believed that the need for digital solutions had never been greater. They were convinced that their expertise in developing customized ERP systems and providing BPO services could help businesses navigate the new normal, streamline their operations, and thrive in a rapidly changing market.

First Steps and Rapid Growth

The first year was about laying a solid foundation. August and Jo focused on building a team of like-minded professionals who shared their passion for technology and innovation. They worked tirelessly to develop a suite of services that would meet the needs of businesses across various industries. From crafting robust ERP systems that could handle the complexities of modern businesses to offering tailored BPO solutions that would reduce operational costs and increase efficiency, Apping Technology quickly made a name for itself in the industry.

Innovation and Impact

From the Top 5 percentile in Cradle Fund‘s 2022 CIP Sprint batch of more than 100 tech companies competing, we’ve moved up to the Top 1 percentile in the first completing all the demanding KPIs and moved on to the next stage in our start-up life. In the following year 2023, Apping stood out again as the number 1 winning tech start-ups in China-Malaysia Science & Technology Innovation Summit, beating other start-ups from both countries. And then in 2024, Apping came out as the Top 10 tech start-ups in HK Tech 300 South East Asia Start-up Competition where there were more than 100+ competitors. 

Looking Ahead

Today, Apping Technology stands as a testament to what can be achieved when passion, honesty, and a commitment to making a positive impact drive a business. August Wong and Jo Lee continue to lead the company with the same values that have guided them from the beginning, always looking for new ways to innovate and help their clients succeed. With a focus on delivering solutions that are not just effective but transformative, Apping Technology is ready to shape the future of business, one solution at a time.
