Services and capabilities

Saigon Technology's core offerings span custom software development, mobile and web applications, AI/ML integration, QA testing, DevOps, and cloud migration. For custom work, the firm uses Agile and mobile-first design patterns to build scalable web apps; for mobile, it works with native (Swift, Kotlin) and cross-platform (Flutter, React Native) stacks. It builds MVPs and proofs of concept using Figma, React, and Firebase, and modernizes legacy systems with cloud-native infrastructure—citing "cut legacy maintenance costs by up to 40% and ship features 3x faster" without big-bang migrations. SaaS platforms are built on AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes with DevOps and Agile practices.

Back-end work covers Node.js, .NET, and Java with API integration and cloud infrastructure; front-end uses React, Angular, and Vue with WCAG compliance. The firm integrates with ERP and CRM platforms, provides 24/7 software maintenance with SLA guarantees, and offers generative AI integration to automate workflows. QA testing includes manual and automated work (Selenium, Cypress, CI/CD) across functional, security, and performance scenarios. DevOps consulting combines CI/CD pipelines, cloud automation, and Infrastructure as Code; cloud migration covers AWS, Azure, and GCP using rehost, replatform, and refactor strategies.

Notable work

Saigon Technology's portfolio includes several named projects with measurable outcomes. AxiaGram, a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform integrating with EHRs for US physicians, achieved a "40% reduction in development time" with streamlined workflows and processed 6,000,000+ medical records. A fintech loan management platform (borrowing app through full lifecycle, fraud detection, collections) was delivered by onboarding 20 senior engineers within three months. Visit DA, a data management and visualization platform for equipment health monitoring across locations, deployed multi-tenant dashboards with real-time monitoring. Baibai, a cryptocurrency exchange, handled 1,000,000 visitors/second with sub-5-second pages and sub-3-second actions, and supported 2,500 concurrent online users. A 6-year Build-Operate-Transfer partnership with a Netherlands IT firm scaled the Vietnam engineering team from 2 to nearly 50 engineers with zero delivery disruption during full team transition.

How they work

Saigon Technology offers five engagement models: ODC (own a dedicated Vietnam delivery center), dedicated team (fixed squad for multi-year roadmaps), staff augmentation (plug vetted engineers into your team), fixed-price (predictable outcomes for scoped builds), and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer, proven with 50-engineer transfers). Rates span $28–$46 per hour for mid-to-senior roles; detailed pricing runs $15–$28/hour for juniors (1–2 years), $25–$45 for mid-level (3–5 years), and $35–$65 for seniors (5+ years). Tech leads and architects run $55–$85/hour. All models include 10–12 hour overlap for US East and West Coast teams, NDAs, role-based access, and client-owned source code. The firm offers a two-week risk-free trial so you can interview candidates and test developers before long-term commitment.
