Software Development Company Singapore, from Ho Chi Minh City
Looking for a software development company singapore teams hire without the local-agency premium? We build headless and Medusa ecommerce, production AI, and the internal systems a business runs on — delivered by a dedicated Vietnam team in Ho Chi Minh City. Our engineers work an hour behind Singapore and talk to you directly, in English.
Most engagements start as a fixed-scope project. A defined outcome, a defined timeline, and a price agreed before any work begins.
Decisions that carry consequences beyond the software
We work with founders, CTOs and business leaders at the point where a software decision carries consequences beyond the software. Budget, operations, and the credibility of whoever signed it off.
Our job is to help you make a decision you can defend.
Usually something has already gone wrong:
In practice, as a software development company singapore scale-ups pick for consequential builds, our clients are established firms of roughly 20 to 500 people who have outgrown what they can build in-house, and founders building an ambitious first product. Engagements usually run eight to sixteen weeks with a team of four to six.
If you want a two-week website or large-scale staff augmentation, we are the wrong firm — and we will say so early. Tell us what you are dealing with. You do not need a written spec first.
Why we are in Vietnam, and what it costs you
We are not a Singapore company. KVY TECH is in Ho Chi Minh City, and every engineer who touches your code sits here.
You cannot drop into our office on a Tuesday afternoon
That comes with a real cost, and here it is before you find it yourself in month two. Whiteboard sessions happen over video. For some teams that is disqualifying — tell us early if it is.
A working day that overlaps with yours almost completely
Singapore is UTC+8. Vietnam is UTC+7. A question at 9am reaches an engineer who has already been working for an hour — and you are talking to that engineer directly. There is no account manager relaying it.
KVY TECH has been building software since 2018.
What we build
Three areas a software development company singapore buyers ask us for most. Each links through to the service page with the real detail.
Complex ecommerce, heavily customised
Storefronts and commerce backends built composable — ecommerce development for Singapore buyers who need multi-currency, local payments, and regional expansion without a stack of SaaS workarounds. The businesses we take on have usually reached the point where catalogue size or promotion logic has outgrown what a hosted platform will do. Most of the work is in the parts a platform will not let you change.
Multi-currency, local payment methods and tax handling are architecture decisions, and we treat them that way from the first week. Bolting them on as plugins is how commerce builds fall apart in month six.
Composable is where our commerce work sits. If a hosted SaaS storefront still fits your business, keep it and spend the money somewhere it will do more good.
Applied AI
Two kinds of work, and they call for different engineering.
As an AI agent development company, we built a financial advisory assistant that reads live data from several sources, reconciles it, and produces portfolio recommendations. Most of the engineering went into the data layer: live sources disagree with each other, and the system still has to explain how it arrived at a given recommendation.
We train audio and video models for construction and manufacturing businesses that want a manual step taken out of a workflow. Usually that step is a person watching something and writing down what they saw.
Most AI projects demo well and never reach production. In our experience the gap is evaluation. If you cannot measure whether the system is right, you cannot safely change it — and it stays a demo.
Internal systems, web and mobile apps
- Order and inventory
- Approval workflows
- Production and quality tracking
- Integration between ERP, accounting and storefront
The tools that run a business and never get budget. Most of this work is for SMEs replacing a process that currently lives in spreadsheets and email threads. It usually arrives as a web application, sometimes with a React Native mobile app where the work happens away from a desk.
We start with a product discovery. The hard part of digitalising a process is agreeing what the process should be, and that conversation costs far less before the code exists than after it.
We also build first products for founders. The pressure is different and the requirement holds: every one of these systems has to fit one specific way of working, which is why almost none of them can be bought off the shelf.
We document them well enough that your team can operate them without us. That is the point of building them properly.
Selected work
Ademco Security Pte Ltd
Ongoing since 2022A Singapore security company. We have been their engineering partner across several projects, and the work is ongoing.
Web and mobile applications, and a large amount of integration with security hardware from different manufacturers. Every brand exposes its devices differently, so much of the engineering goes into making inconsistent hardware interfaces behave like one dependable system.
Reliability and integrity shape everything else. A security system that is occasionally wrong is worse than one that is occasionally slow — people stop trusting it and go back to doing the job by hand.
JML Singapore Pte Ltd
Fixed-scope · 12 weeksJML.sg had outgrown its off-the-shelf tooling. Promotion logic had turned into a stack of workarounds. Regional expansion needed genuine multi-currency support, and Singapore payment methods had to work every time.
We recommended Medusa.js after looking at the alternatives. A SaaS platform would have shipped faster and handed the team years of technical debt, and we said so before any work started.
Twelve weeks to a production storefront, with custom promotion and pricing rules, local payment integration, multi-currency, a custom admin and a branded storefront. The internal team held full operational control at handover.
Cerebro
Crypto-fintechA Singapore crypto-fintech building portfolio intelligence and trading. We are their engineering team across the whole product surface — from the quantitative signal and portfolio-optimisation engine through to the web platform, the React Native app, and a consumer product that routes real trades on-chain.
Four production systems in one platform. The recurring problem is data that disagrees with itself: a dozen providers cover overlapping chains and exchanges, and the system has to reconcile them into a single view a user can act on.
"A strong and trustworthy software development partner. Technical experience, open communication, and the dedication and work ethic of the team. They accommodated our existing practices and embedded them well into our culture."
"The entire team at KVY TECH has been an amazing business partner who understands our vision and helps us turn it into reality. They have been with us from the start to the final MVP, providing expert guidance and reliable support along the way."
"Project management and communication were done very professionally and kept me in the loop of their progress every week. I would highly recommend anyone who seeks professional software support and development to look for KVY."
How to engage us
Three ways in with a software development company singapore clients use depending on risk and roadmap. Most engagements start with one and move to another as the work becomes clearer.
Fixed-scope project
A defined outcome, a defined timeline, a defined price, and no long-term contract.
You get a full team — a project manager, a software architect, engineers and designers. Scoping sits inside the project, so the first weeks produce a written plan covering the approach we recommend, how long it will take and what it will cost.
The price we agree is the price you pay. If the work turns out harder than we thought, we cover the difference. If you want something new, we tell you what it costs before we build it, and you choose.
Scope a fixed project →Dedicated development team
A named dedicated development team in Ho Chi Minh City working only on your roadmap, billed monthly. You set the priorities. You do not manage the team — and you keep the UTC+7 overlap with Singapore.
Our engineering leaders do that: hiring and replacing people, equipment and tooling, keeping performance steady, and the awkward conversation when someone is not working out. You get the output of a managed Vietnam delivery squad and none of the overhead of running one.
Most clients reach this point after a few fixed-scope projects. By then both sides know how the other works, and the ramp-up that usually makes a dedicated team expensive has already been paid for.
Discuss a dedicated development team →Project takeover
You inherited a codebase and the team that wrote it has gone. Or the vendor who built it is still there and the relationship has stopped working.
We start with an audit, priced on its own so you can commission it without committing to whatever comes after. An architect and one or two engineers document what exists, stabilise anything actively breaking, and write up what the system does, what state it is in, and what it would cost to fix or to replace.
The assessment sometimes says keep it. Few vendors will tell you that, because a rewrite is worth more to them than a repair.
Tell us what you inherited →Tell us what you are building. We reply within one working day.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Singapore?+
No. We are in Ho Chi Minh City and we serve Singapore clients from there as a software development company singapore teams work with remotely. We travel to Singapore for kick-offs and major milestones when a project calls for it.
Who owns the code?+
You do. The repositories, the infrastructure configuration and the documentation are yours, and they are yours from the first commit.
How will we see progress?+
A named point of contact on WhatsApp, so reaching us does not require scheduling anything. Milestones are agreed before work starts. Every week you get a written update on what was delivered, with a demo of it running.
What happens when the engagement ends?+
You get everything, including a handover session with the engineers who built it. Every project also carries a warranty period, usually two months, so defects found after handover are fixed at no charge. You should be able to run the system without us — that is what the handover is for.
Can we come and meet the team?+
Yes, and Singapore clients do. Several have flown over and spent a week in our Ho Chi Minh City office, sitting with the engineers building their system. We eat together. A week in the room does more for a working relationship than six months of video calls.
Tell us what you are building
Send us what you have. Within three working days you get back an approach, a rough timeline, and a price for the first phase. You do not need a written spec first.
