Relia Software

Relia Software is a Vietnam-based custom software development company founded in 2011. The team consists of 100+ software developers and has delivered over 300 projects across fintech, healthcare, education, travel, eCommerce, and other sectors. The company works with startups launching MVPs as well as enterprises, and counts Google, Mekari, Reebonz, and ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) among its clients.

The business centers on what it calls UX-driven engineering—pairing intuitive design with scalable architecture. A few specifics matter here: one fantasy sports app they built hit 10,000 downloads and 2,000–3,000 daily active users, helping the client raise funding. A health tech startup's app received positive app store reviews with minimal post-launch fixes. An event planning platform called Xeplanner was built as a PWA with AMP support.

Services and capabilities

Relia's service menu spans web development, mobile app development (Android, iOS, React Native, Flutter), AI/ML consulting and chatbot development, and DevOps automation. On the web side, the company lists Ruby on Rails, .NET, Next.js, Golang, Python, Node.js, React, and Angular as core technologies. For mobile, it supports both native and cross-platform frameworks.

The company packages its approach around "design thinking"—a stated methodology for uncovering user needs, brainstorming solutions, and iterating before code. Its development process, as outlined on the site, moves through Requirement Gathering and Project Scoping, UI/UX design with system architecture, Agile development with code review, rigorous testing and QA, release and server configuration, and post-launch support with performance monitoring.

DevOps work includes CI/CD pipeline automation across major cloud platforms. On the outsourcing side, Relia offers IT staff augmentation, dedicated development teams, offshore development centers, and a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model. It also does production support and maintenance work.

Notable work

Named projects include ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), where Relia built an offshore development center in Vietnam and handled digital transformation and nautical system enhancement. Xeplanner, an event planning platform and marketplace, was built as a PWA with AMP support. Glowie, a talent contest app, involved mobile development and DevOps. Kriya, an AI-driven platform, was delivered as a website and web app.

Clients quoted in testimonials highlight Relia's cost efficiency, attention to detail, and low post-launch defect rates. One said the development team was "collaborative and organized." Another noted that apps launched successfully with strong app store reviews.

How they work

Relia describes a six-phase delivery cycle: Plan (requirement gathering, scoping), Design (UI/UX, system architecture), Develop (Agile, code review), Test (rigorous QA), Deploy (release, server config), and Maintain (support, monitoring). The company emphasizes high-quality code and continuous testing to ensure long-term maintainability. Engagement models include fixed-scope projects, dedicated development teams, staff augmentation, offshore development centers, and Build-Operate-Transfer arrangements. No specific pricing is disclosed on the site.
