What Manifera Software Development does

Manifera Software Development is a Singapore-headquartered custom software development firm founded in 2014 by Herre Roelevink and co-founded by Michael Hamilton. Operating across three offices — Singapore (HQ), Ho Chi Minh City (engineering center), and Amsterdam (Dutch office) — the company employs 30+ developers and has delivered 160+ projects to 120+ global clients over nine years. Its client base spans telecommunications, research, government, hospitality, automotive, agriculture, cruise/travel, maritime, cybersecurity, and sustainability/fintech, with named clients including Vodafone Fiji, TNO, Dutch Embassy Singapore, EuroCham Singapore, Statler, CFLW Cyber Strategies, XPAR Vision, MO Batteries, Kilimo, Young Cruises, Aye Aye Solutions, Zeres, and Maployer.

The firm delivers full-stack web and mobile development across Laravel/PHP, .NET, Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, React, iOS, Android, React Native, and Cordova, with deployment capability across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Service offerings include dedicated offshore development teams, custom software, mobile apps, web apps, eCommerce platforms, and cloud migration services — with specific emphasis on Dutch and European clients seeking Asia-delivered capacity. The company has added AI-assisted development workflows and AI integration in client applications as part of its service portfolio, and holds recognitions from the 2019 UNDP Pacific-ASEAN Financial Innovation Challenge and Singapore IMDA Open Innovation Platform.

Manifera operates four pricing models — Dedicated Teams (managed service), Vouchers (subscription), Time & Materials, and Fixed Price — enabling it to engage both project-based and recurring engagements. Its go-to-market positions it as a mid-market offshore/nearshore partner for European and Asia-Pacific clients, with the Amsterdam office serving as the European front-door and Bitscloud partnerships formalizing the cloud-migration vertical. The company is privately held with no publicly disclosed funding rounds.
