Saigon Technology has operated dedicated delivery PODs since 2012, with over 400 engineers across three development centers in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, serving clients in the US, EU, Australia, and Singapore.
PODs (Product-Oriented Delivery Squads) are self-contained teams of engineers, QA, and DevOps, each dedicated exclusively to a single client project. Each POD is assembled based on your technology stack, domain requirements, and delivery timeline. A typical dedicated delivery POD includes:
Every POD follows Agile practices with iterative development, sprint demos, milestone reporting, and structured governance. Your business analyst coordinates everything from scheduling changes to special requests, so nothing slips through the cracks.
As an ISO-certified company with a 4.8/5 rating on Clutch, Saigon Technology's track record is built on consistent delivery, not marketing claims.
For building new products or extending platforms with major functionality. Your POD includes frontend and backend engineers, QA, DevOps, and a team lead, all coordinated through your business solutions specialist. The team follows your product roadmap, participates in sprint planning, and delivers working software every two weeks.
Use case: A Series A startup goes from architecture to MVP in 3–4 months at roughly 40% of comparable US-based team costs.
For companies adding machine learning capabilities, building data pipelines, or integrating AI into existing products. Data engineers, ML engineers, and backend developers build data infrastructure, train and deploy models, and integrate AI features, working with your domain experts to define requirements and validate outputs.
Use case: An e-commerce platform adds personalized product recommendations trained on transaction history, with A/B testing infrastructure to measure impact.
For teams needing better test coverage, shorter regression cycles, or an automated testing infrastructure built from scratch. QA engineers, test automation specialists, and performance testers work as a dedicated unit, building frameworks, writing automated suites, integrating into your CI/CD pipeline, and reporting on quality metrics.
Use case: An enterprise platform automates 70% of its regression suite, cutting release testing from three weeks to days.
For organizations moving from on-premise to cloud or modernizing deployment and operations tooling. Cloud architects, DevOps engineers, and supporting developers assess your current infrastructure, design target architecture, execute migration, and establish operational runbooks your team needs going forward.
Use case: A healthcare company migrates legacy bare-metal workloads to AWS while maintaining HIPAA compliance, with Infrastructure as Code and full knowledge transfer before engagement ends.
For products in production needing continuous improvement, bug fixes, feature additions, performance optimization, and infrastructure updates. A smaller pod (typically 2–3 engineers plus QA) embeds in your existing workflow, triaging issues and reducing technical debt alongside new feature work. Your business solutions specialist handles scheduling changes and prioritization coordination.
Use case: A mid-market SaaS company offloads ownership of one product surface, freeing in-house engineers for strategic initiatives.
Proven delivery at scale
Over 14 years in operation with 400+ engineers across three development centers. This is an established operation with the infrastructure to support long-term business, moving from in-house bottlenecks to scalable POD delivery.
One point of contact
Your business solutions specialist manages all communication, scheduling changes, and special requests. You deal with one person who knows your project inside out, not a rotating cast of account managers.
ISO-certified Agile processes
Structured sprint-based delivery with demos, retrospectives, and milestone reporting gives you full visibility without micromanagement overhead.
Timezone overlap built in
With offices in the US, Australia, Switzerland, and Singapore, your POD overlaps with your working hours for real-time collaboration when it matters.
Transparent pricing
Rates from $28–$46/hour depending on seniority and specialization. You receive detailed price quotes before engagement, with no hidden fees. Pricing scales predictably; if you add an engineer next quarter, you know exactly what it costs before you commit.
Team continuity builds compound knowledge
The same people work on your project from kickoff through delivery. No context switching, no re-onboarding every quarter. Your POD accumulates domain knowledge that makes it faster and more effective over time, the kind of institutional understanding you normally only get from long-term employees.
Production-ready in 2–4 weeks
Because Saigon Technology maintains interview-ready engineers across major tech stacks, your POD can be assembled and writing code within weeks, compared to 2–3 months for in-house hiring cycles.
Predictable monthly costs
Fixed monthly pricing for your POD means no budget surprises. You plan for a team, not for individual task estimates that inflate as scope evolves.
Reduced management overhead
Your business solutions specialist, part problem solver, part logistics coordinator, handles the operational details so your internal leaders stay focused on product strategy and business decisions.
Flexibility during every business phase
PODs scale up during periods of growth and right-size during periods of uncertainty. Add a frontend engineer for a product launch, scale back after release. No severance packages, no drawn-out hiring freezes.
Quality assurance is built in, not bolted on
Every POD includes QA as a core team function running parallel to development. Issues get caught in the same sprint they're introduced, not three months later in a production incident.
A dedicated delivery POD is a cross-functional software team, typically 3–8 members including developers, QA, and a team lead, assigned exclusively to your project. Unlike shared resource models where engineers split time across clients, your POD works only on your product, building the deep context that drives consistent, high-quality delivery.
Most PODs are production-ready within 2–4 weeks. Saigon Technology maintains a bench of interview-ready business-moving and storage professionals across major technology stacks, so team assembly begins immediately after your requirements are confirmed.
POD pricing depends on team size, seniority mix, and technology requirements. Rates range from $28–$46/hour per team member. A typical 5-person POD runs between $12,000 - $20,000/month. Your business solutions specialist provides a detailed quote during the discovery call, no ballpark figures, no surprises later.
Yes. Every proposed POD member goes through your interview process. You control the final team composition, and any member can be replaced if the technical or cultural fit isn't right.
Through your dedicated business solutions specialist for project-level coordination, and directly with the engineering team via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or your preferred tools. PODs are structured for timezone overlap, so you get synchronous communication during core working hours.
PODs are built for flexibility. You can adjust scope, add or remove team members, or shift technical priorities between sprints. Your business solutions specialist coordinates all changes and ensures smooth transitions without disrupting delivery momentum.
All PODs operate under ISO-certified processes with NDA protection, secure development environments, and compliance support for frameworks including GDPR, PDPA, and HIPAA. Specific compliance requirements are addressed during the discovery phase and built into your POD's delivery process from day one.
