Best Vietnam Software Development Companies for US and UK Mid-Size Projects

For a US or UK mid-size, fixed-price-leaning custom software project, no single Vietnam company is "best": FPT Software and TMA Solutions fit large enterprise programmes; NashTech fits buyers who need a UK-headquartered entity; Netbase JSC and Saigon Technology publish fixed-price options for mid-size work; Rikkeisoft fits Japan-proven transformation programmes; Savvycom and Designveloper fit faster, product-led engagements.

Netbase JSC wrote this page and is one of the eight companies compared below; this is not an independent, third-party ranking. Every fact about another company is sourced to that company's own site, dated 2026-10-26; every Netbase fact is a registered company fact, not a claim written for this page. Reviewed 2026-10; every fact is re-checked at least every 90 days.

In this guide

Why isn't Netbase on the usual "best Vietnam" lists?

Search results and AI answer engines currently cite FPT Software, Rikkeisoft and Saigon Technology for this question, drawing mostly from third-party directories such as Clutch, not from any vendor's own site. Those directories rank by review counts and star scores; this page does not use either. No rating, review count or price appears anywhere below — only named companies, compared by disclosed criteria.

What criteria decide the comparison, before any ranking

These six criteria, and their weight in how the groups below are formed, are fixed before any company is placed:

  1. Fit for a mid-size project (25%) — neither a single-founder shop nor an enterprise-only engagement model.
  2. Fixed-price option published (20%) — the company's own site states fixed price as an available or default model, not only time-and-materials.
  3. Published delivery record (20%) — case studies, named clients or a stated project count on the company's own site, not a directory profile.
  4. Access to senior people (15%) — a short path to a founder, CEO or senior lead, not only an account manager.
  5. Remote delivery maturity (10%) — evidence of delivering to US or European clients remotely.
  6. UK or US registered presence (10%) — relevant only where a buyer's own procurement rules require a local entity; most mid-size buyers do not need this.

How do the eight companies group by buyer need?

Scoring every company against the six criteria sorts them into three groups, not one ranked list:

Criterion Large enterprise programmes Fixed-price mid-size Startup / product-led
Companies FPT Software, TMA Solutions, NashTech Netbase JSC, Saigon Technology, Rikkeisoft Savvycom, Designveloper
Fixed price on own site? Not standing (FPT, NashTech); TMA case-by-case Yes (Netbase, Saigon Technology); Rikkeisoft: ODC shown, fixed price not listed Not standing
Delivery record shown Enterprise client and certification counts Named client counts, BOT/ODC detail Client counts (Savvycom); named start-up clients (Designveloper)
Senior/CEO access Account-management layers Netbase: CEO is the first contact; Saigon Technology: senior-led teams (own site); Rikkeisoft: not publicly listed Not publicly listed
UK/US registered entity FPT (UK entity), NashTech (UK HQ); TMA none None of the three None

Netbase sits in the fixed-price, mid-size group by these criteria, not because it wrote this page.

Company profiles

FPT Software

A subsidiary of FPT Corporation, headquartered in Hanoi, with a dedicated UK entity (FPT United Kingdom, London) and sites across the Americas, Australasia, Japan, Korea and Europe. Its own pages give differing headcount figures and do not state a founding year; fixed price is not listed on its about page. It holds a CMMI Level 5 V2.0 appraisal (2023). Best for: large, multi-year enterprise programmes needing scale and many industry practices.

TMA Solutions

Established in 1997 in Ho Chi Minh City, states "4,000 engineers" and lists CMMI Level 3 and 5, ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and TL 9000. Its client-country list names the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada and the US, with no UK office. Published material describes fixed price "based on requirements" alongside dedicated team, ODC and hybrid options. Best for: telecom, automotive and embedded programmes needing large engineering capacity.

NashTech

Not Vietnamese-founded: a division of the UK-based Nash Squared group, head office in London, with five global delivery centres including three in Vietnam. States "1.8k engineering experts" and names a UK Commercial Director; first company appraised in Vietnam at CMMI Level 5 v2.0. Fixed price is not stated on its about page. Best for: a UK buyer whose procurement rules need a UK-registered supplier with mature governance.

Rikkeisoft

Founded in 2012 in Hanoi, states "over 2,000 employees" and "500+ global clients", rooted in Japan before expanding into the US, Europe, South Korea, Thailand and Australia. An offshore development center model appears in a case-study title; fixed price is not listed as a standing offer, and a search-excerpt certification claim could not be verified (the profile PDF returned a 404 on 2026-10-26). Best for: a Japan-proven digital and AI transformation partner building a US presence.

Saigon Technology

Founded in 2012 in Ho Chi Minh City, states "400+ software developers" and "350+ clients, from funded startups to enterprise teams". Its own pages explicitly state Fixed Price ("fixed scope, fixed timeline") plus dedicated team, staff augmentation and Build-Operate-Transfer options, with ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification issued by BSI (UK). Offices in Reston, Virginia (US) and Singapore. Best for: US and European mid-size product companies wanting an explicit fixed-price or BOT option.

Netbase JSC (the publisher of this page)

Founded in 2012 and based in Hanoi (its only office), has worked with 500+ clients (F013) in 80 countries (F190), delivered remotely with the CEO, Huy Nguyen (David), as first contact by WhatsApp or email (F192). Most Netbase projects run on fixed-price contracts (F067), alongside dedicated teams, project-based delivery and fully managed options (F018). Its Business Divisions, CMSmart and Printcart (F025), add their own delivery record: CMSmart's own project pages list 300+ client project write-ups (F173), and Printcart states 2,000+ stores (F174, F175). Netbase does not publish headcount, an office outside Hanoi or a certification beyond these facts. Best for: mid-size, fixed-price custom software and web-to-print or commerce projects where a short path to the CEO matters more than an account-management layer; see the offshore development center model and custom software development.

Savvycom

Founded in 2009 in Hanoi, states "100+ enterprise clients" and "30+ countries served" across seven global offices (US, South Korea, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore). Positions itself as an "AI-driven solution partner" with dedicated team, staff augmentation and global-delivery-center models; no published UK office. Best for: a market-team structure across Asia-Pacific plus staff-augmentation options.

Designveloper

Founded in early 2013 in Ho Chi Minh City, its own site names start-up and product-business clients, including Joyn'it, Bonux, LuminPDF and Aha.is, across AI-powered business software, custom, web, mobile and UI/UX work. It does not publish headcount, certifications, offices outside Vietnam or a fixed-price commitment. Best for: start-ups and product teams prioritizing design-led web and mobile builds.

Where AI fits in this comparison

Most companies here publish an AI practice: Rikkeisoft names "AI Transformation", Savvycom calls itself "AI-driven", Designveloper offers "AI-powered business software", and FPT Software lists AI within its services. None discloses a reproducible methodology or a named model-partner tier, so this page does not rank companies by AI capability — only what each site states. Netbase's own AI evidence is recorded the same way internally: model-agnostic, with proof limited to what is on record, never a vendor partnership or certification beyond it.

How should a mid-size buyer choose between these companies?

  1. Write down your project's actual shape first

    Is the budget fixed, or is scope still moving? That answer decides whether a fixed-price or time-and-materials model fits, more than any company's brand.

  2. Shortlist by pricing model, not reputation

    If scope is fixed, or can be fixed after a short discovery phase, shortlist companies stating fixed price as a standing option (Netbase JSC, Saigon Technology, TMA Solutions); if scope is genuinely unclear, a dedicated team instead of a fixed price is the safer start.

  3. Decide if a UK- or US-registered entity actually matters

    If your own procurement or legal rules do not require one, do not let that narrow the list to NashTech or FPT Software by default.

  4. Ask for the published delivery record, not a sales deck

    Treat anything not on the company's own site as unverified.

  5. Confirm who you will actually talk to, in writing, before signing

    A CEO, a dedicated account manager or a rotating project-management layer changes how escalations get resolved later.

  6. Cross-check with the sibling guides

    Read the Vietnam software outsourcing guide for the cost and risk checklist behind these criteria, and the large or boutique vendor guide if team size, not country, is the open question.

Limits of this guide

This page compares eight companies from a researched set of ten; two (Enlab Software and KMS Technology) were excluded for too little verifiable own-site information or a blocked site on 2026-10-26, not because they fit worse. Every non-Netbase fact comes from one pass of each company's own site on 2026-10-26, except where marked as a secondary search-result excerpt; none of it is audited, and pages change without notice. No price, rate or review score is published for any company, Netbase included, because none is available for public use.

Frequently asked questions

No. Netbase JSC wrote this page and is one of the companies compared; every fact about another company is sourced to its own site so a reader can verify it independently, and no rating or score is used for any company, including Netbase.

Whether the company publishes fixed price as a standing option and shows a real delivery record carry the most weight; company size alone does not decide fit.

NashTech is the only company here with a UK head office and a named UK commercial contact; FPT Software has a separate UK entity for onshore relationship management, with delivery nearshored from Vietnam and other countries.

Netbase JSC, Saigon Technology and TMA Solutions state fixed price on their own pages; the other five do not list it as a standing offer on the pages checked.

Every company fact was checked on 2026-10-26 against that company's own site; this page is reviewed again at least every 90 days, and a changed fact is corrected, not left in place.

Not on its own. A larger company brings more bench depth for multi-country programmes, but a mid-size buyer prioritizing senior attention is often better served by a smaller team.

Next step

If a fixed-price, mid-size custom software or web-to-print project is the shape of your work, book a solution review with Netbase JSC's CEO, or browse our work to see delivery evidence first.

An AI-enabled offshore development center in Hanoi, when a long roadmap needs one An AI-enabled offshore development center in Hanoi, when a long roadmap needs one

An offshore development center (ODC) in Vietnam is a long-running engineering team that a partner abroad staffs, manages and documents for your product roadmap. Netbase runs ODC teams from its only office, in Hanoi, with AI-assisted engineering, weekly governance and knowledge transfer built in. When the work has a defined outcome, a fixed-price project usually fits better.
