Hiwire
was established in 1992 as a software security firm while
providing data to research companies in Singapore. One of the major projects
during its early years was a turn-key
project to develop an on-the-fly encryption program for the purpose of protecting
classified data in MINDEF/ SAF.
In 1993, our first end-user product emerged- HomeBiz
Information System. Till today, HomeBiz remains the only leading
source of data for more than 800 companies that include Corporate
Clients: AC Nielson SRS, Dun & Bradstreet, Citbank, OCBC, StarHub
and not less than 3000 property agents.
Hiwire has since entrenched itself in the software-property market,
serving more than 3000 active property agent users and 400
agencies. In the software-property industry, there are only a
handful of software developers and Hiwire remains formidable with
the addition of a new program called HomeLoan Analysis. This brought
a new tool to the Industry as agents were better equipped by using
computers, laptops or phones for calculation and presentation of the
Financial Plan especially for HDB purchases with complex set of rules. In fact, even HDB bought our HDB financial
software as a backup to their current system.
