A new iPhone application that allows users to buy, sell and rent cars with ease has been launched.
The app, named Teck Wei, is a collaboration between ST701, Singapore Press Holdings’ e-marketplace, and Teck Wei, a local car dealer.
It has since saw its first customer, Mr Charles Quek, a 32-year-old SAF personnel.
He bought his car using the app and was “pleasantly surprised that all the information I needed was at my fingertips”.
“The best part was that the data was available wherever I went, a feature bulky laptops lacked,” he commented.
Mr Arthur Ong, director of Teck Wei, said that this initiative was spurred on by the fact that smartphones were prevalent in Singapore.
Said Mr Ong, “It’s easy to connect with people over the user interface, games and downloadable applications.”
Mobile applications for vehicles, with the exception of government portals, are currently still new in the market, and has potential to grow.
SPH’s online portal AsiaOne has also launched iPhone apps.
Users can download the iPhone app to get updates from up to 11 news and lifestyle categories while on the go.
AsiaOne’s food website, SoShiok.com has an iPhone app that gives users easy access to authoritative food reviews, recipes and a dining guide.
