Why Axon Active

A custom software development company built for the long term

Most custom software development companies rotate engineers between accounts. At Axon Active, engineers are handpicked for your stack and kept on your product — building domain knowledge and accountability over the long term.

100% handpicked per stack, no bench, no rotation

We match skillset over headcount. Every engineer is hired for a specific engagement at kickoff — matched by stack, product domain, and team culture, across 80+ active dedicated squads. No bench, no rotational seats, no shadow engineers. See how to hire a dedicated development team.

100% handpicked per stack, no bench, no rotation

17+ years of compounding domain knowledge

We believe domain knowledge is always the key. AI brings faster delivery — the speed comes from the tools — but quality comes from domain depth and security guardrails. Most tools take weeks to learn; domain knowledge takes years to build. See our story.

Software development in Vietnam, Swiss-governed

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does an engagement with Axon Active start?

It starts with an initial call. We listen to what you’re building, your needs, and your expectations. We walk you through what we offer and propose a team shape, timeline, and pricing model. No deck, no sales script. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you. If we are, we move to contract discussion and kick off hiring and onboarding.

Can we combine multiple services into one engagement?

Most of our larger engagements do. Common pairings: Dedicated Development Team + Specialist Consulting (Product Owner as a Service) — the offshore squad plus a specialist to bridge business and delivery; AI Product Development + Data Engineering — AI features need clean, accessible data; DevOps & Cloud Services + Dedicated Team — engineering capacity plus the cloud expertise to operate what gets built; Training, Coaching & Enablement + Dedicated Team — helping internal teams adopt the practices the offshore squad already uses. Every engagement runs under one contract and one delivery lead, so there’s no procurement maze. If a combination doesn’t fit your situation, we’ll suggest a phased approach.

How is pricing structured across your services?

Most services use a monthly per-engineer or per-specialist rate that includes everything operational — recruiting, HR, office, equipment, training, internal mentoring, and team coordination. There are no setup fees and no exit fees. What’s not included: third-party licenses specific to your product, and on-site travel costs.

What security and quality certifications does Axon Active hold?

We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management — the standard financial services and healthcare industries treat as a baseline. We’re also certified to ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and operate to GDPR and Swiss FADP standards in all client engagements involving personal data. For specific industry compliance frameworks (FINMA for Swiss financial services, IEC 62304 for medical software, and similar), we work alongside your compliance team to meet the requirements — we don’t claim certifications we don’t hold. Certificates and audit reports are available under NDA during the discovery phase.

How do you handle GDPR, FADP, and EU AI Act compliance in delivery?

Compliance isn’t a checkbox at the end of the engagement — it’s baked into how teams are set up. GDPR / FADP: data flows are mapped during discovery, personal data classification is part of every system design, and our delivery teams in Vietnam work only with pseudonymized or anonymized test data when production data residency rules apply. EU AI Act: for AI features, we classify system risk level (minimal / limited / high) early, design the documentation trail (model cards, training data lineage, eval datasets) required for high-risk systems, and integrate human-in-the-loop where the Act requires it. We work with your DPO and compliance team — not around them. Industry-specific frameworks (FINMA, IEC 62304, HIPAA) are handled alongside your domain experts.

Where are your teams, and how does communication work?

Our delivery teams are in Vietnam (Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Thu Duc, Can Tho), with onsite specialists embedded at client sites. For EU clients, there’s a 4-hour daily overlap between CET afternoon and Vietnamese morning-to-midday — that’s when standups, planning, and live discussions happen. For clients in other regions (US, APAC, Middle East), we adjust the team’s working hours to maintain at least 1-2 hours of live overlap with your business day. Outside the overlap window, work is async. Working language is English, over your Slack or Teams.

What custom software development services does Axon Active offer?

As a full-service software development company, we provide end-to-end custom software development services across six engagement models — dedicated teams, specialist consulting, AI product development, DevOps & cloud, data engineering, and training & coaching.

Are you a custom software development company or an agency?

We’re a 100% Swiss-owned custom software development company, not a staffing agency. Where a custom software development agency rents out individual developers, we build and keep a dedicated team on your product — a long-term engineering partner.

Which software development service is right for my project?

It depends on what you need to change or build. Dedicated Development Teams provide long-term engineering capacity; AI Product Development builds AI-powered products and capabilities; DevOps & Cloud covers infrastructure and platform engineering; Data Engineering & Analytics builds data platforms and pipelines; and Specialist Consulting adds focused expertise. We can recommend the right service or combination based on your goals.
