OUR STORY
Founded in late 2015 in the U.K., SmartUp.io started off as a peer-to-peer learning app to facilitate knowledge exchange between entrepreneurs from the Founders Forum network, before landing DBS Bank in Singapore as our first commercial client.
Today, we are a mobile-first learning platform where users can create, consume, and share content. Our simple content creation tool, gamification elements, and data analytics allow trainers to easily create highly engaging learning experiences for their users. Our white-labeling solution also supports trainers in launching their own mobile learning app fast, without the hassle of going through app development.
In addition to our learning platform, our Content Studio offers a suite of services ranging from learning content development, copywriting, video production, and more. All this is geared to help you make your content stand out, regardless of the platform you use.
MISSION
To power trainers in creating digital academies with great engagement.
VISION
To be the training platform of choice, helping trainers humanize digital learning.
WHY CHOOSE US?
What our clients say about us
“SmartUp supported NTT DATA in our project to build a regional onboarding programme. We commissioned them to create the training materials and employee value videos. The videos were amazing and SmartUp did a good job drawing out value-related stories from our colleagues with reality and humanity.
Although it was our first time working with SmartUp, the team grasped the points we wanted to have in our programme very quickly. I was amazed by the speedy work and also with the quality and cool designs!”

“We approached SmartUp to create 10 short animated videos that we wanted to incorporate into Marsh’s internal sales training programmes. We were very happy with the end result – the animations matched well with the scripts provided and SmartUp gave us very good support during the animation and recording process!”

“When the South African government announced a nation-wide lockdown to stem the spread of the Covid-19 infection, we urgently needed a flexible learning and engagement platform for our staff. SmartUp helped us establish this within 48 hours – before the country went into lockdown – and supported us every step of the way.
We were able to fundamentally change our way of working as a business whilst also effectively communicating in an interactive way with our people, thanks to our great partnership with SmartUp.”

“Throughout the journey with our clients, whenever we needed the help and support of the SmartUp Team, they have never let us down. They were there to advice, remediate, fix, help, and support us when we needed them. Amazing! The best thing about SmartUp is the easy navigation for users, both as readers and content creators. Just getting content work done on SmartUp has been a breeze. It’s well-designed and thoughtfully built for novice and advance tech-users.”

“GoJek engaged the SmartUp content team for 3 months to work on building a library of content for topics such as Data Storytelling, Project Management, and Effective Communications. We worked together to produce content in a number of formats – text, infographics, and videos. We like the team’s collaborativeness, can-do attitude, and openness to feedback. The overall experience was positive for both teams!”

“Cycle & Carriage Singapore partnered with SmartUp to convert our content on Code of Conduct and New Employee Orientation. Over the course of 2 – 3 months, we say static content being converted into interactive videos, quizzes, and stories.
It surprised us that such content can be made interesting! The magic was that teams from both companies were open to share ideas, feedback, constructive criticism, thus forging a stronger partnership during the journey.”
