How SMEs are Transforming Through Technology in Singapore

Being a business over is something that presents you with a lot of challenges. As experienced business owners know, you will come across numerous problems and you will need to find a way to overcome them as soon as possible. Naturally, this is not always easy, and it requires a lot of effort on your behalf.

One of the biggest challenges out there is the fact that the markets are pretty competitive. As a result, you need to do a lot of things before you can establish yourself as a trustworthy brand that attracts customers. In this day and age, it is possible to attract much more of them than ever before, mainly because of all the technological advancements that have occurred in the last two decades.

By doing so, you can make a lot of processes in your small and medium enterprises much smoother and simpler. Today, we want to discuss how SMEs are transformed through implementing modern technology in Singapore. We want to present you with what has occurred as a result of this occurrence.

Revenue and Productivity

At some point, every SME is about to experience some growth. It needs to be said that this is the turning point on whether the organization will continue to grow and prosper or cease to exist. If you take a look at certain studies on this topic, you will see that roughly half of all SMEs fail within the first three years of their existence.

What does this have to do with modern technologies being implemented in such organizations? Well, it does since this implementation can help with increasing this percentage. The way this can be achieved is by increasing the productivity and revenue of the SME.

Once again, taking a look at some studies, you will learn that around 60% of all the SMEs out here who have implemented modern technologies have managed to increase their profits. Since modern technologies produce certain things as automation, it is obvious why productivity is significantly increased.

Adaptability and Agility

Adapting to certain occurrences in the market is a key method to ensure the conditions for your SME to have as long a lifespan as possible. Adapting to new circumstances and needs is not possible without having modern technologies at your side to help you with this sort of procedure.

By using these, it becomes possible for the business to recognize even the least visible opportunities and convert them into benefits. Naturally, we should keep in mind that SMEs don’t have as many capacities and resources as bigger corporations. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful when choosing which ones you should implement.

Therefore, you can see that agility and adaptability are definitely among the most significant aspects to understand. These offer you a chance to be able to adapt to all the technologies that will eventually come and go. When you make the initial step, then you can spot all the opportunities down the road.

Cost Reduction

No matter how big or small a certain business is, it needs to be said that cost reduction is always part of the agenda for the organization. When you think about your budget, you need to make sure a certain percentage is committed to adopting and even developing new technologies whenever possible. Of course, not every SME is capable of that.

For instance, using cloud technologies make it possible to altogether avoid the need to use servers. It’s not only about using them; it is also about spending additional money to maintain them. Therefore, you can see that cost reduction is a possibility, but only if you choose the technologies you will implement carefully. Making a mistake in this regard can be quite a costly mistake.

Online Presence

Reaching as many customers as possible is an absolute must for every SME. Without that, it is not possible to expect any expansions in the future. Online presence makes it possible to reach out to as many people out there as possible. Once again, using these tools ensures you will have a higher customer base.

Not only that it can help you reach out to new people out there, but it can also be quite helpful with discovering some new markets you weren’t aware of before. Since the online aspect ensures there will be no physical boundaries between you and anyone, you can understand how important this is.

Besides reaching more people, the online aspect ensures you have a chance to conduct business with these people 24/7. Naturally, it doesn’t mean that you should over-expand if you are on limited sources, but it is without a doubt that, if you play your cards right, you can reap some serious benefits.

Customer Experience

Lastly, we want to address something that has become particularly important in the last couple of years. We are talking about modern technologies being able to help when it comes to making sure customer experience is on the top-notch level. By using these technologies, you can gather all the customer data and analyze it.

As a result, it offers you a chance to have an understanding of what your customers are expecting to get from your business, what services, and under which conditions. There are numerous tools you can use to make this work. Of course, you should be aware of the fact that not all out there will be helpful to you.

SMEs can benefit from gathering this data significantly. As we’ve already said, they usually don’t have enough resources to spread and fill all the gaps that can potentially open for various reasons. Therefore, customer experience and its improvement through digital transformation are the major factors to understand.

The Bottom Line

SMEs are the foundation of every country’s industry, including Singapore. Therefore, making them strong and resilient to challenges should be a priority. Today, the best way for you to do that is to implement modern technologies and ensure a long lifespan for your organization. We’re sure you will find this insight of ours to be of much help.

5 Best Physiotherapy Clinics in Singapore: Top Physiotherapists

Physiotherapy might be a vague concept to most people. What is it exactly?

• physical exercises
• manual therapy
• hydrotherapy
• heat therapy
• and acupuncture.

WHO NEEDS PHYSIOTHERAPY?
Physiotherapy can be helpful to different people of different ages. It is most commonly sought by

• athletes suffering from sports injuries
• workers with chronic neck or back pain
• and elderly folks who need to maintain mobility.

Even if you don’t fall under any of these categories, you might need physiotherapy if you are suffering from pain, ailments, or reduced movement affecting any of the following areas:

• Bones, joints, and soft tissue – back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and sports injuries
• Brain or nervous system – movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), or Parkinson’s disease
• Heart and circulation – rehabilitation after a heart attack
• Lungs and breathing – chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis

COST OF PHYSIOTHERAPY IN SINGAPORE
The cost of physiotherapy in Singapore varies depending on the type and duration of the treatment. In addition, home care options and the level of expertise of the physiotherapist may also affect the price of each session.

On average, the cost of physiotherapy in Singapore ranges from S$100 – S$300 per 45-minute to 1-hour session.

We scouted the whole island to develop our list of Singapore’s five best physiotherapy clinics. Read on to learn more about our recommended clinics and decide which is best for you.

Should You Develop a Hybrid App for Your Business in Singapore?

The importance of mobile apps has skyrocketed in the last couple of years, simply because pretty much every individual has a mobile phone these days. Different people have different preferences, and that’s why the need for new apps and the update of existing ones is constant.

We can all agree that there are countless mobile applications to choose from. Countless platforms are used for their development. Before you make a decision on which one of these you will use, it is essential to understand the pros and cons of each of them, don’t you agree? As you can imagine, learning about all of these can be quite a lengthy procedure.

Today, we want to shine a light on one of these concepts, hybrid apps. We will talk about it in greater detail, compare it with other notable options, and ultimately provide you with our conclusion on whether you should use these for your business in Singapore. Without further ado, let’s begin.

Hybrid App Development

As you can see from the name of the concept, hybrid app development is a combination of web and native solutions. What does this mean? Well, it means that the developers will write certain parts of the code using web development programming languages, like JavaScript. At the same time, they will use native app plugins like Ionic Capacitor.

By utilizing these two approaches at once, the developers can access all the native features of these platforms. One of the major benefits of this approach is that the development process is going to be more cost-effective. That’s why many developers choose it after thinking about it for a long time.

Another benefit worth noting is the plugin support. As we’ve already stated, the number of these is practically endless. When it comes to the disadvantages, we must say that achieving the best possible balance between UI and UX can be quite a challenge in this case. Also, navigating the app is problematic.

Features that Require Native Code

The platform we are talking about requires certain parts to be built of native code, as we’ve already said. But the question is, which ones? Naturally, there’s no magic formula that provides the answer to this question. It all depends on the needs of the project you have conducted. Therefore, investigating these is an absolute must.

A good example of these is the libraries that will be a part of the project eventually. As you probably know, all of them are written in native code. By using these, the developers have a chance of completing their projects sooner than without them. So, it provides them with an opportunity to enter the market sooner.

Potential Problems with Hybrid Apps

Being aware of all the potential problems with developing and using hybrid apps.

1. Performance

We can all agree that performance is the ultimate aspect that helps clients determine whether they will use a certain app or not. Little is known about the performance determined by the development platform that will be used for building these, especially by people who don’t have enough experience with these processes.

Even those who advocate the use of hybrid apps understand that native apps outperform them by far. Building these requires more resources and the process itself is quite lengthy, but they are way more reliable, and we all know that reliability is one of the major components of staying competitive in the market.

Cross-platform apps provide a solution that fits right in the middle. They provide the performance of native apps with the ease and speed of development of hybrid applications. Flutter and React Native are the 2 most popular frameworks for developing these apps. In Singapore, most big companies and startups use React Native, so it’s definitely a good idea to work with a company that specializes in React native app development.

When you take a look at some surveys done by major companies, you will see that 84% of users believe reliability is the most important element. Another thing that needs to be said about hybrid apps’ performance is that they require users to download all the content into their mobile phones before they can use it properly.

2. Security

The question of security is another important one, and it requires an effective answer. Since there are so many layers of hybrid apps are made of, the opportunity for attacks is higher than in native apps. Why is this the case? Well, these layers are used to bridge all the gaps so that there is no non-native code in them.

Another problem that might pop up is that these layers are owned by third parties. Therefore, the developers do not have complete access to them and they cannot inspect the code properly, to make it complement the native app codes.

3. User-Interface and User-Experience

All the programming languages come with their unique methods for creating the interface. As a result, they have a different outcome when it comes to user experience. When you decide on which one you will see, you have a certain idea about what can come as a result.

Since hybrid apps represent a blend of different technologies and approaches, numerous problems can pop up when it comes to both user interface and user experience. The way these gaps are bridged is by using some generic solutions that might not ensure the best UI and UX.

4. Libraries

Last but not least, we want to address the potential problem with libraries. The frameworks you will use for developing these will handle APIs for you. While there is nothing wrong with this option, it needs to be said that there are some problems that can emerge as a result of handling things this way.

The problem is that you will need to look for the plugin to tie these two together. Since plugins are written by someone else, this can become quite a hassle. Therefore, you will need to invest additional effort and time either to write one of these on your own or to find the one that complements your needs.

The Verdict

As you can see, deciding to use hybrid apps for your business can be quite a challenge. That’s why we believe that opting for a cross-platform or native code approach is a much more fitting one. By doing so, you will not encounter numerous problems that can pop up unexpectedly. Here, we’ve guided you through all that needs to be understood before you can make the best possible decision.

4 Major Turn-Offs to Avoid on Your Next Date

Dating can be both exciting and challenging for someone who’s single. On the one hand, you get to meet someone new who can potentially add happiness to your life. On the other hand, however, dating requires you to open up to a stranger to creating a meaningful relationship.

It’s worth noting that not everyone is comfortable meeting new people or discussing their lives with someone they’re meeting for the first time. That’s why most shy people find going on a date a nerve-wracking experience. Many end up making silly mistakes that risk turning off their date.

In a dating and relationship context, a “turn-off” is an unappealing action that will lead your date or partner to lose interest or desire in you. Someone can get turned off by how you behave, communicate, or act. You might say or do something that makes them feel insecure, embarrassed, annoyed, or have a terrible experience in general.

Whether you’re usually shy around new people or getting back into the groove of things after returning to the dating scene, consider enlisting the help of a dating coach Singapore residents trust to help you prepare for your next date. You can also avoid these four major turn-offs and ensure that you and your companion have an enjoyable time together.

Poor Hygiene

Going on a date with someone who has poor hygiene is almost always an immediate turn-off. Bad breath, unpleasant body odour, and an unkempt appearance are unappealing to a potential partner. More often than not, people will judge others by what they can observe through their senses. If you want to make a good impression and have a successful date, you need to make personal hygiene one of your top priorities.

Shower and change into fresh clothes daily. If you tend to sweat a lot, apply antiperspirant to help manage perspiration and avoid unattractive underarm sweat marks. In addition, if you want to smell fresh and keep body odour at bay, use deodorant. Be sure to practise good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice every day. It’s also a good idea to bring mints or chewing gum with you on your next date so that your breath stays fresh even after you eat something with strong-smelling ingredients like onions or garlic.

Rude Behaviour

Being disrespectful to the servers, restaurant staff, or anyone else around you will also be a significant turn-off to your date. Regardless of their jobs or backgrounds, be sure to treat everyone you meet with kindness and respect. Keep this in mind even when it seems most difficult to practise, like when you get into an upsetting circumstance.

For example, say the server missed a food request or accidentally spilt drinks on your new clothes. A common reaction would be to lose your cool or to make a rude remark. If you experience something like this, do your best to be understanding and politely talk to them about the next best solution. Even if you aren’t trying to impress your date, they will remember how considerately you treated someone in a testy situation, and it will be easier to win their favour.

Using Your Phone Throughout the Entirety of Your Date

If you’re like most people, you probably rely on your phone for many personal and work functions. You might have also gotten used to checking your phone regularly. While this helps you keep track of important messages and notifications, doing so too frequently can be a major turn-off to your date. Being on your phone all the time while you’re on a date communicates a lack of interest in your companion and your chosen activity. It can also be seen as disrespectful when someone is talking to you and your eyes are focused on your phone’s screen instead of on them.

As such, it’s a good idea to put your phone away or place it on silent mode while on your date. In case you need to attend an important call, be respectful and let your date know about it. When it’s time to take the call,  excuse yourself from the table. Your date will appreciate the gesture, and they’ll also be assured that they’re not competing with your phone for your attention.

Focusing on Yourself

When you’re on a date, it’s natural for your companion to ask about your life and interests to get to know you better. While they may ask you questions, refrain from just focusing on yourself. Instead, engage your date in conversations about themselves too. Make sure the topics don’t just revolve around you. Take the opportunity to ask about their interests and experiences, and listen to what they have to say.

Remember, it’s not just you who wants to have a pleasant date. Your companion would also want to have an enjoyable time, and if they do, they’d be encouraged to see you again.

From the way you present yourself to the way you speak, there are some things you might do that could turn off your date. Some turn-offs vary from person to person and can be attributed to a lack of chemistry. But turn-offs like the ones mentioned above should be avoided, as they have a very high chance of turning the date disastrous for everyone involved.

If you aren’t certain about how to behave during a date, put yourself in the shoes of your companion and consider how you would want to be seen and treated as a person. Hopefully, this principle will guide you as you strive to make your next date a pleasant and memorable one.

First-Class Vs Private Jet Charter: What’s the Difference?

Though both private jets and first-class commercial flights are both modes of travel that will get you a long way up in the air in some sort of plane, they really couldn’t be more different. Sure, there are a lot of similarities between private jet flights and first-class commercial flights: both offer passengers the highest echelon of comfort while in the air, both offer delicious drinks and wonderful service from well-trained flight attendants and pilots, and both get you from place to place safely, but that is where the similarities end.

If you do a lot of traveling for work or earn enough to travel as often as you want to for pleasure, chances are you’ve often compared the merits of the two different options. We’ve decided to make things a little easier for you by unpacking the differences in detail; if you have all the information at your fingertips, you’ll be able to make an informed decision and one that lines up best with your travel needs.

First Class Seats
First class seats are as high as you can go on a commercial airline in terms of a comfortable, peaceful trip and having access to the best in-flight food and drink options. If you’ve forked out for a first-class ticket to anywhere in the world, you’ll get perks like priority boarding (no long lines for you!) and free drinks and meals for the duration of the flight. The food is, more often than not, a lot better for first-class passengers than it is for everyone else. The seat you’ll find yourself in is more comfortable, larger, and softer and has a lot more legroom so that you don’t feel cramped on your journey. Some airplanes’ first-class seating is now surrounded by a little pod-like structure to afford you extra privacy from others when you might want to sleep or relax on a long flight.

Though there are lots of benefits to a first-class flight, there are a few drawbacks that come with flying commercial. First-class passengers are still subject to the decisions and commercial regulations that come along with flying on commercial airlines. Planes may be delayed due to a member of staff not arriving; your route might require a layover that you really don’t want to deal with; while you have priority boarding, you’ll still have to check in with the rest of the passengers, and though the pods in first class are nice, they still don’t offer you freedom of movement or the complete privacy that many travelers may wish for. Flights are also only on offer according to the airline’s schedule, not your own.

Another thing to bear in mind is your end destination. Commercial planes that offer a first-class cabin will only travel from the largest airports in your state or country and only land at the largest ones near your destination. As a result, you might have to undertake another journey when you land to get to where you’re actually going.

Private Jet Charter
Chartering a private jet is the only step up that there is above a first-class seat on a commercial airline. Chartering a private jet for your journey is the most high-end travel option in the sky, and the amenities and comforts that come with it are nothing short of royal. Booking a private jet means absolute privacy to whatever degree you need. Whether you and your colleagues need to fly together to prepare for a pitch, whether you and your family want to be together on your way to your vacation, or whether it’s just you and your newlywed spouse who want as much alone time as you can get, the choice is yours. There are no pods here, just you and whoever you want to fly with, along with the flight crew, of course. Private planes may have couches as well as single seats, and they all convert to sleepers should you wish to take a nap on a long flight.

Luxury and convenience are the names of the game here: why else would so many celebrities have their own jets? Weather considerations and the distance to your destination aside, you set the departure time according to your schedule and needs. You wouldn’t need to stand in any long lines with any other passengers because there aren’t any unless you invite them. No layovers or flight cancellations (natural disasters aside) will plague you if you charter your own plane. Once the “fasten seatbelt” signs are off, you can behave as you would in your living room at home. Relax, have a meal from the many onboard options that charter companies offer, watch a movie, do some work…whatever takes your fancy. You can move around freely without having other passengers in your space.

If you travel frequently and have a hectic schedule, being able to set your own flight times and make use of the time on board, if you need to, as well as arriving at your destination well-rested are things that can make your life a lot easier.

Final Word
It’s pretty clear to us who the winner is in this race, but the runner-up isn’t a terrible option to choose either! Whether you choose to charter your own private jet or hop aboard the first-class cabin on a commercial flight, you’ll have a comfortable and happy journey. Personally, however, I’d opt for a private charter every time!

5 Fun and Healthy Seniors Activities for the Older Adults in Singapore

Among older adults, the need for support, companionship, and interaction hardly lessens with age. In a real sense, it is all the more imperative for them to strike the ideal balance between relaxing and taking part in different pursuits that will keep them stimulated, excited, and healthy due to numerous mental and physical disorders that restrict their mobility and leave them feeling socially inept.

In Singapore, seniors 65 and older constitute 15.2% of the demographic as of 2020. The country has implemented a holistic, diverse, integrative, and proactive strategy to help the elderly optimize their potential and prevent the adverse impacts of aging since it has recognized the elderly society as the primary concern influencing the economic future.

Don’t worry, though; you can advocate a wide range of interesting activities to help your elderly loved one lead a far more fulfilling life. There are many interesting activities and volunteer activities in Singapore that are aimed at empowering elders, enhancing their sense of belonging, and fostering everyday activities.

5 Healthy, Engaging Activities To Keep Your Elderly Active

In general, elderly isolation and loneliness are serious matters that could lead to a higher likelihood of death and depressive repercussions. It is imperative that you arrange enjoyable activities for your loved ones or take them to moderately intense activities. The majority of those options will help you keep your loved one’s mental health under control.

With your elderly loved ones, engage in the following activities to boost their health and happiness both in and outside of their household:

1. Engaging in a Regular Exercise

Provide an elderly relative with some exercises to help them produce endorphins. Keep in mind that any amount of exercise is advisable compared to nothing at all. The elderly loved ones’ welfare will also substantially improve with increased physical exercise. Encourage them to sign up for a fitness class, go for a neighborhood walk with you, or join an exercise group.

One of the most crucial things you can undertake to maintain good health as you age is to engage in routine physical activity. All of this makes it possible to prevent or postpone the majority of health problems that appear to arise with aging. Also, it helps the elderly relative benefit from health advantages including strength training, allowing them to preserve their independence while performing everyday tasks.

If severe illnesses prohibit your elders from adopting these recommendations, it is best for them to be as healthy and active as their abilities and conditions allow.

2. Practicing a Yoga Routine

In essence, yoga is a type of aerobic activity praised for being holistic and adaptable. It includes several qualities that address important areas of physical and mental wellness and is appropriate for people of all ages. If you’re looking for a form of recreation that could be suitable for your elderly loved ones, it is in fact a valid solution.

Yoga offers many benefits to seniors in a way that they can expand their range of motion while strengthening their spirits and minds through stretching and poses in this more tranquil, gentle type of practice. It is also a form of meditation that has positive effects on both the inside and the outside. You may enroll them in the top yoga studio within the locality.

3. Take Part in Arts and Crafts

As a way to occupy them and allow them to express their creativity, arts and crafts can serve elders just as much as young folks. Give their artistic spirit free rein with the variety of crafting options available. Encourage them to participate in any craft activity that allows them to express their artistic side, including painting, drawing, crocheting, knitting, or pottery. Many senior citizens value the opportunity to exercise their newly discovered inventiveness. Additionally, it’s a wonderful resource to establish group connections.

4. Exploring a New Hobby

Any new knowledge is beneficial at any age and on a totally new level, new avenues arise. Motivate them to enroll in classes to develop new skills like cooking, playing a musical instrument, or learning a foreign language. Writing similarly keeps the mind engaged and the creative process moving. A stronger perspective of purpose and significance may also be made possible through it. Start allowing your senior citizens to participate in ongoing lectures or seminars for continuing education. It works wonders to keep the mind engaged and stimulated.

5. Engage and Serve in the Community

There are numerous opportunities to involve the elderly in your lives for a worthwhile cause. Join forces for a local food pantry, gift drive, fundraiser event, or other charitable endeavors. Volunteering is an excellent way to combat or eliminate a sense of worthlessness at this time of life.

Start encouraging your elderly loved one to put their capabilities to help others who are in need. The sentiments of purpose and fulfillment they have as a result of such activities are far more meaningful.

Takeaway

As age progresses, it is more important than ever to stay active and partake in pursuits that will keep the elders interested and significantly reduce their susceptibility to the ills of aging. With the range of senior-friendly possibilities available within the institutions, anyone can discover something to experience. Find a worthwhile pastime from this list, and simply spend quality time with your elderly loved ones straight away.
