A team of Project INC students from the Diploma in Information Technology (DIT) course has created an innovative online platform for scrap steel trading. The platform, called SMEX, is a collaboration with the Singapore Iron Works Merchant Association (SIWMA) Metal Exchange. SMEX aims to facilitate the exchange of resources and materials among scrap steel traders, enhance resource efficiency, and improve operational performance. The project demonstrates SP’s commitment to supporting sustainability through technological solutions for the industry. The project was also featured in BEX Asia 2023 or Built Environment XPO Asia 2023, a leading market intelligence platform that connects innovators, solution providers, distributors and sellers with decision makers, buyers and specifiers across Asia.

Annually, Singapore Polytechnic (SP) hosts an open house event, providing an opportunity for prospective students and parents to explore the campus and gain insights into the institution and its academic programs. As part of the event, visitors are offered a bus tour of the various faculties, guided by student helpers. To facilitate efficient operations, the staff team is responsible for monitoring the buses' locations, assigning student helpers, and verifying rosters. To streamline these processes, the team developed an application, utilizing a Svelte frontend and a Golang backend, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This application enabled the staff to effectively manage the bus tours, enhancing communication and operational efficiency. The team proactively engaged with the staff, gathering requirements, developing, and deploying the application for the "First Steps" event in 2024. They provided real-time support, implementing hotfixes, and gathering feedback to iteratively improve the application. Ultimately, the application ensured seamless and efficient bus tour operations during the First Steps event.

The Bras Basah Complex Merchant Association (BBCMA) sought to address the challenges associated with their existing website by enhancing their digital presence. The ultimate objective was to create a modern, engaging, and user-friendly online platform. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive redesign and technological upgrade were undertaken. The transition was made from the restrictive framework to the more flexible framework, seamlessly integrated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting and deployment. This strategic shift strengthened the website's infrastructure, ensuring scalability and adaptability in the ever-changing digital landscape. Key features of the project include a user-centric design, with the introduction of interactive elements such as an elegantly highlighted floor map with store information and a searchable store directory. These features improved the user experience and fostered a sense of community engagement.
