ABOUT SAPOTACORP

About Sapota: Vietnamese Engineering Studio Since 2018

The senior engineers behind Vietnam's best software teams

SapotaCorp

SapotaCorp works directly with global businesses - from startups to Fortune 1000 - and is the engineering team behind 30+ Vietnamese IT service firms. Either channel, you get the same senior Vietnamese developers embedded into your product team, with no agency wall and no minimum commitment.

Our engineers ship on the platforms that move enterprises fastest - Salesforce, Retool, Power Platform, and Shopify - and build custom software when platforms alone aren't enough. Senior-only, direct pricing, with a two-week trial so you can test the fit before you pay.

SapotaCorp has embedded senior engineers with global teams since 2018. From 2020 our engineers worked inside Shopmatic - the Singapore e-commerce platform acquired by MatchMove for $200M in 2022 - shipping production code through its scale-up to acquisition.

We work with the same client teams for years, not just one project. The five reasons most clients feel alone after a project is the pattern we built our post-launch model to avoid.

In 2022 we finished building our own headquarters - S-Building, a 7-floor office (plus basement) at 101 Huỳnh Tấn Phát, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng. Our engineers ship from a real office we own, not a co-working hot desk or a home-only setup.

Every project starts with a two-week no-commitment trial. We pick one to three engineers off the bench whose stack matches what you are building, and ship something measurable in the first two weeks. If the fit is right, the engagement continues at direct pricing. If it is not, the trial closes and neither side carries an obligation. No agency markup, no multi-month minimum, no bait-and-switch on team composition between proposal and kickoff.

Senior-only means every engineer on the bench has shipped production code on the relevant platform for at least five years. The team is structured as a flat network of practitioners rather than a pyramid with juniors at the base and a few seniors at the top. That keeps the economics direct, the communication peer-to-peer, and the quality bar consistent across whoever happens to be staffed on your project this month.

The platforms we ship on cluster around the enterprise tools that move the needle for Salesforce implementations (Marketing Cloud, Sales and Service Cloud, Revenue Cloud, B2C Commerce, Financial Services Cloud, Apex Development), Microsoft Power Platform projects (Dataverse, Power Automate, ALM), Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations rollouts, Retool internal tooling, Shopify and Salesforce B2C Commerce merchant builds, and the AI agents and RAG systems our customers are deploying now. When platforms alone are not enough we extend with custom software, web app development, or mobile app development on React Native, Flutter, or native stacks.

The team writes about the work as it ships. The engineering blog is a public reference library of patterns, decisions, and production gotchas from real client engagements. Each post carries a named byline from the engineer who shipped the work. The content is the honest version of the work, not vendor-friendly marketing. If a topic on the blog matches what your team is building, that is a fair signal we have shipped the pattern before.

Operating principles the team holds itself to: senior-only staffing (no pyramid, no junior-to-senior rate blending), direct pricing with named engineers, peer-to-peer communication (no project-manager middleman), code stays yours (documented and handover-ready, no lock-in), and honesty about scope (we say no to projects that don't fit the bench, rather than stretching). Long-term client relationships compound this model: the same team that shipped phase one is usually the cheapest and fastest team to ship phase two. See five reasons clients feel alone after a project for the post-launch model.

How team composition gets picked on a project: when an engagement starts, the relevant practice lead reviews the scope and proposes a one to three engineer team whose experience matches the project. The proposal includes named engineers, not "TBD" placeholders. The two-week trial uses the same engineers who would continue the project; we do not bait-and-switch between proposal and kickoff. If the engineer on the trial is not the right fit, we swap before the trial ends rather than after.

Engineers operate inside your sprint cadence, attend your daily standups, take Slack or Teams messages directly, and run code review with your team rather than through a project manager. The integration is meant to feel like a senior engineer joined your team, not like you hired a vendor. Multi-timezone coverage is available for engagements where US or EU teams need real-time overlap; the Vietnam timezone offers natural overlap with Singapore and Sydney during business hours, and early-morning overlap with the US East Coast.

Mission

Give global teams access to senior Vietnamese engineers without the agency bloat - same talent, direct pricing, no markup.

We pair deep platform expertise on Salesforce, Retool and Power Platform with full-stack and AI engineering, and we let clients try us risk-free for two weeks before they commit.
