Your dedicated offshore development center in Vietnam.
EFE Technology builds and runs dedicated engineering teams in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City for companies in Australia, the US, Singapore and beyond. You direct the product; we handle hiring, operations and delivery — and you wake up to progress every morning.
An engineering team that works like your own — without the overhead.
Hiring senior engineers locally is slow and expensive, and project-by-project outsourcing rarely builds the product knowledge a growing platform needs. An offshore development center sits in between: a stable team that learns your codebase, follows your engineering standards and stays with your product for years, while the operational work of running a team abroad is handled for you.
Since 2011, EFE has delivered more than 90 projects for over 20 clients across Australia, America and Singapore, with a 96.5% client satisfaction rate. Our engineers also build and run EFE's own software products — Shopify apps, WordPress plugins and SaaS platforms used by merchants worldwide — so the team that joins your project already knows what it takes to ship and operate production software.
Vietnam's time zone works in your favour. Australian and Singaporean teams share most of the working day with us, while teams in the US and Europe hand work over in the evening and review progress the next morning.
Choose how you want to work with us.
Dedicated Offshore Team
A long-term team of engineers, designers and QA who work only on your product. You set the priorities and roadmap; we handle recruitment, HR, equipment, office space and retention in Vietnam.
Best for: product companies scaling an existing platform.
Offshore Development Center (ODC)
A fully managed extension of your engineering organisation, with its own team lead, delivery process and reporting line into your CTO. It grows from a few engineers into a multi-squad unit as your needs expand.
Best for: companies building a permanent engineering hub in Asia.
Project-Based Delivery
A fixed scope delivered end-to-end — discovery, UX, build, QA and launch — by a cross-functional EFE squad, followed by maintenance and support once the product is live.
Best for: new products, MVPs and well-defined modernisation projects.
What your offshore team can build.
Teams are assembled around your stack. Typical work includes React and Next.js front-ends, Node.js and Go back-ends, Supabase and PostgreSQL data layers, native iOS apps and the major commerce and CMS ecosystems.
Custom Software
Enterprise web applications, internal tools, CRMs and ERPs designed around your workflows.
E-Commerce
Shopify apps and themes, WooCommerce and headless storefronts built for speed and conversion.
Mobile Applications
Native iOS and cross-platform apps with agile release cycles and App Store delivery.
Application Modernisation
Breaking legacy monoliths into modern, cloud-native services without disrupting the business.
Web Platforms & CMS
WordPress, Webflow and Framer builds, plugins and integrations — the same ecosystems our own products serve.
Maintenance & Cloud
Monitoring, hosting, DevOps and continuous improvement for systems already in production.

From first call to a shipping team.
- 01
Discovery call
We map your product, tech stack, team gaps and timeline, then recommend the engagement model and team shape.
- 02
Team proposal
You receive profiles for the proposed engineers and lead. You interview them and decide who joins your team.
- 03
Onboarding
Access, tooling, coding standards and communication rituals are set up so the team ships in its first sprint.
- 04
Delivery & reporting
Sprint planning, weekly demos and shared dashboards keep progress visible. You keep direct access to every engineer.
- 05
Scale
Add engineers, new squads or specialist roles (QA, DevOps, design) as the roadmap grows — or scale down with notice.
Offshore development in Vietnam — common questions.
What is an offshore development center (ODC)?
An offshore development center is a dedicated engineering team in another country that works as an extension of your in-house team. The provider — EFE in this case — handles hiring, office, equipment, payroll and retention, while you direct the product work. Unlike one-off outsourcing, an ODC is a long-term setup built around your codebase, processes and culture.
Why build an offshore development team in Vietnam?
Vietnam has a large, fast-growing pool of university-trained software engineers, competitive costs compared with Australia, the US and Western Europe, and a time zone (GMT+7) that overlaps with Australian and Singaporean business hours while giving US and European teams overnight progress.
Where is EFE's team located?
EFE Technology was founded in 2011 in Da Nang. The engineering team works from Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, with a presence in Melbourne, Australia.
How do you keep communication and quality under control?
Every engagement runs on shared tools you can see: sprint boards, weekly demos and real-time dashboards. You have direct access to the engineers working on your product, and our engineering practice is built on code review, automated testing and continuous integration.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do. Source code, designs and documentation produced for your project belong to you and live in your repositories. NDAs and IP assignment are part of the contract before any work starts.
How quickly can a team start?
It depends on team size and the seniority required. After the discovery call we share a concrete timeline for proposing profiles, interviews and onboarding, so you know exactly when the first sprint begins.
