AI-Driven Software Development Company in Singapore
Saigon Technology is an AI-Native Software Engineering Partner with a registered Singapore office and 400+ engineers in Vietnam, working with SG enterprises, SMEs, and funded startups.

Why Singapore Businesses Choose Saigon Technology for Custom Software Development
Saigon Technology is an AI-Native Software Engineering Partner: senior engineers paired with applied AI, so the same scope ships with a smaller team and fewer rebuilds. That model sits on top of proven offshore delivery, which is what keeps custom software development in Singapore at senior seniority without Singapore agency cost.
- Local presence, regional delivery. A registered Singapore office for contracts, meetings, and grant application paperwork, paired with delivery centres in Vietnam. You get an SG counterparty and offshore economics inside one engagement.
- Senior-led teams, not junior benches. Average 7+ years of domain experience, with seniors owning architecture and code review. They challenge requirements before you fund the wrong build.
- Compliance-first delivery. ISO 27001 controls, PDPA-aligned data handling, NDA-first engagement, and full source code plus IP handover.
- Grant-ready engagement. We structure scopes to support Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), and Open Innovation Platform (OIP) applications. Ask us about eligibility criteria and qualifying project costs.
- Singapore-regulated industries. MAS-aware fintech, IRAS-integrated tax platforms, and PDPA-compliant healthcare, built for the sectors where getting compliance wrong costs more than the build.

Client Testimonials
The Custom Software Development Company Behind Your Singapore Build
Saigon Technology is an AI-Native Software Engineering Partner: a delivery model, not a service line. Senior engineers pair with applied AI across every Singapore build, so the same scope needs a smaller team and fewer rebuilds. The bill falls even where the hourly rate does not, because you pay for fewer people and fewer do-overs, not a discounted seat. Our engineers work across ML, MLOps, data engineering, and generative AI, so your roadmap is not capped by your partner's ceiling.
Our SG office at 20 Cecil St #14-00 PLUS, Singapore 049705 contracts under SG law, invoices in SGD, and is the named counterparty on EDG/PSG/OIP paperwork. Founded and led by CEO Thanh (Bruce) Pham, with Singapore account leads in every sprint review in SG hours.
400+ engineers across three centres in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang feed our SG engagements at SGD 28 - 58/hr blended, 40 - 55% below local Singapore agency rates, without freelancer seniority. Singapore clients typically onboard vetted engineers within two weeks. On a board paper the rate is half the story. An AI-augmented senior team completes the same scope with fewer people, so a smaller multiplier runs against those hours.
Founded in 2012, rated 4.8★ on Clutch, with long-running engagements across APAC, North America, and Europe.
ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001, certified by BSI UK. Architecture aligned to MAS TRM, FEAT, and IMDA's Model AI Governance Framework. Data residency in AWS Singapore (ap-southeast-1), Azure Southeast Asia, or GCP asia-southeast1, with a 72-hour PDPC breach-notification workflow written into every SOW.
This matters more the moment AI enters the system: a model touching customer records inherits every PDPA obligation those records already carried, and retrofitting that after go-live is where SG projects stall.
Talent Acquisition, a Tech Lead, and HR each run an independent assessment round before we shortlist. You then interview candidates and run a two-week risk-free trial before committing. Pick the staff augmentation, dedicated team, fixed-price, ODC, or BOT model that fits, with no vendor lock-in.
A named Singapore portfolio across fintech (MAS TRM), healthcare (PDPA and NEHR-aware), tax advisory (IRAS-integrated), logistics, and B2B SaaS serving SG GLCs: TechTIQ Solutions, Innobay Group, Loan City Pte Ltd. Pick a custom software development company that has already shipped in your regulator's shadow.
Named #10 in the Medium category of Southeast Asia Best Workplacesâ„¢ in Technology 2026 by Great Place To Work, and Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work Forâ„¢ Southeast Asia 2025. Retention is a delivery metric: the engineer who learns your domain in month one is still there twenty months later.
