The history and journey of the company
Since its inception in 2010, FirstCom Solutions has continually evolved and expanded its offerings to become a prominent player in the digital services landscape. Starting with a focus on telecommunication and web hosting services, the company quickly established itself as a trusted partner, securing a contract with M1 as a Corporate Channel Partner in 2011. As demand grew, FirstCom Solutions broadened its portfolio to include basic websites and a range of website-related solutions, leading to the delivery of their first 500 websites by 2012. This year also marked a significant milestone as FirstCom Solutions was recognized as the Top Fixed Services Provider by M1 and relocated to a larger office space at Kallang Pudding.
In subsequent years, FirstCom Solutions continued to garner accolades and expand its operations. Notably, the company received the Singapore Top SME Achiever Award in 2013 and relocated to an even larger office at Kallang Way. With a growing reputation for excellence, FirstCom Solutions diversified its services in 2014 to cater to a broader client base, offering customized systems to enhance productivity. By 2016, the company was honored as a Google Partner, enabling them to provide Digital Marketing Solutions to complement their web development services.
Throughout its journey, FirstCom Solutions remained committed to serving both its clients and the community. The company's involvement in projects such as the NDP in 2017, 2018, and 2019 underscored its dedication to contributing to the nation. Additionally, FirstCom Solutions established partnerships with industry leaders like StarHub's SME Team and became the first vendor in Singapore to be pre-approved under the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) scheme in 2018.
As the company continued to grow, it adapted to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, assisting over 400 retail and F&B businesses with digital marketing programs in 2020. Despite the obstacles, FirstCom Solutions' resilience and commitment to innovation were recognized in 2021 with the SME100 award and the Marketing Interaction 2021 Finalist Award. Moreover, the company achieved a significant milestone by developing an Omni-Channel Integrated Point of Sale Solution for the F&B Industry in collaboration with DBS Bank and IMDA, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to driving digital transformation and providing cutting-edge solutions.
