For US companies under pressure to modernize and innovate, outsourcing software development has often meant long onboarding cycles, mismatched teams, and projects that drift off course. Synodus, a Vietnam-based software delivery firm recently named to Clutch’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies 2025, believes it has found a better way.
The company calls its approach “performance-led engineering” - a simple principle: software that merely works is not enough. Every system must help clients move faster, reduce risks, and deliver measurable business value.
A Founder’s Perspective
Synodus was started in 2019 by two software developers who had spent years working on the delivery frontlines. They saw how often projects were treated as staffing exercises, with vendors throwing people at problems instead of focusing on outcomes.
“We started Synodus because we saw room for a better way,” said Cong Nguyen, CEO of Synodus. “Too many vendors focused on ticking boxes on a project plan. We believed clients deserved a partner who understands their industry, stands behind the results, and delivers as if the product were their own.
Our clients don’t have to worry about misunderstandings or a lack of competence. Many are genuinely surprised as our team is proactive in consulting on what’s best for their projects - even if that means challenging the initial requirements or suggesting a smaller, more efficient scope.”
From Southeast Asia to the US Market
In the past 6 years, Synodus has grown from a small engineering team to a delivery partner supporting enterprises across multiple industries.
As it expands into the US, the company brings a portfolio of services designed for flexibility. Clients can engage Synodus for end-to-end software development - from enterprise platforms and SaaS applications to mobile apps and cloud-native systems. The company also provides specialists on demand, including dedicated teams, IT staffing, and team augmentation, allowing US businesses to scale development resources faster, cheaper and risk-free.
For US businesses, the company is highlighting three areas of strength: efficient delivery, domain-fit engineering teams, and a long-term partnership approach.
- Finance & Banking : A team of 150+ fintech-native specialists are available for onboarding in 2-4 weeks. They've built, scaled and launched 30+ fintech solutions from digital banks, P2P lending, cross-border payments to credit scoring.
- Healthtech: Their healthtech fluency & value-driven attitude have helped them earn 30+ logos in their portfolio, including hospitals, clinics, and ISVs. Their works span from operation systems such as hospital information system (HIS), EMR/EHR, apps for doctors/patients, telehealth to B2C applications such as fitness app, wearable app.
- Travel and transportation: Synodus excels at OTA platforms, delivery app, and operator management tools. By reusing production-ready codebases, the teams help clients shorten development cycles and get to market faster.
- Manufacturing and retail: Synodus has delivered ERP systems, predictive maintenance tools, inventory management system and retail analytics platforms. Their work has earned consistent ratings of 4.4 out of 5 from IT leaders who value reliability as much as innovation.
Unlike many outsourcing vendors, Synodus does not prescribe a single methodology. Its delivery model adapts to client needs, whether that means full-cycle product development or augmenting existing teams.
Delivery Advantages for US Businesses
Synodus positions itself as a seamless and risk-free extension of a client’s in-house team. Developers can be added within two weeks, teams can scale up or down with just 30 days’ notice, and projects are managed with full transparency through detailed reports and time logs.
Security and compliance are built into delivery, with certifications and practices covering ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and FHIR.
This combination of speed, scalability, and predictability has helped Synodus’s clients accelerate delivery by up to three times and cut costs by as much as 50 percent compared to previous vendors.
Proof of Trust and Growth
Synodus has expanded its footprint from Vietnam into Southeast Asia, Australia, Korea, and now the US market. Its client retention rate stands at 93%, and 8/10 clients refer the company to peers - a reflection of the trust it has built.
Some of its notable clients include BOC Aviation, KPMG, Mandai Wildlife Group, Unilever, Sovico Group, and leading banks in Southeast Asia.
Recognition has followed: Synodus was recently named one of Clutch’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in 2025, highlighting both its growth trajectory and global relevance.
Looking Ahead
For US businesses evaluating technology partners, Synodus offers a mix of domain expertise, delivery flexibility, and long-term reliability. The company emphasizes partnership over transaction - a model it believes is better suited for enterprises facing complex modernization challenges.
As CEO Cong Nguyen puts it: “Our vision is simple: when our clients grow, we grow with them. That’s the only measure of success that matters.”
