A dedicated development team for your system, by the month.
VAON provides a dedicated monthly development team of a BrSE, a Tech Lead and engineers. You talk to the engineers directly or through a Japanese-speaking BrSE, and AI-written code is always read by a person and tested.
A stable team works only on your project, and AI helps it move faster. No clear spec yet? Start with a 1 to 2 week Spec Lock.
What problems are you facing?
IT department is overloaded, leading to delayed deadlines
Existing vendors only code to instructions, nobody proposes a better way
Inconsistent deliverable quality
VAON's Team Model
Each team covers every role from requirements to deployment and operations. Headcount and roles scale with the project.

VAON POD Model
Traditional multi-layer model
VAON POD Model
Communication through multiple intermediaries (Sales → PM → Translator → Dev)
You talk to the engineers directly, or through a Japanese-speaking BrSE. No layers in between.
Vendors only code as instructed, no one proactively proposes solutions
Involved from upstream: specs, wireframes and architecture.
Limited testing processes, often resulting in bugs on production
A feature counts as done only when it has tests, has been reviewed by a person, has passed security gates and you have accepted it.
Hidden costs and high dependency on specific individuals
AI-written code is always read by a person and tested. You can see the review and test records.
Lack of visibility into actual progress and quality
Weekly report: progress, risks, decisions we need from you.

FAQ
The core team is ready in about 1 to 2 weeks. If you need more people, let us know 1 to 2 weeks ahead.
A Japanese-speaking BrSE acts as your point of contact when you need one. You can also talk to the engineers directly. Every agreement is put in writing.
Project knowledge lives in the team and the documents, which record the reasons behind technical decisions, and our CTO and a Tech Lead are on every project. If someone has to change, we give one month's notice and hand over within the team.
Our team works 8:00 to 17:00 Vietnam time, which is 10:00 to 19:00 in Japan, so our hours almost match yours.
Before work starts, VAON signs an NDA and agrees with you which data may be used and who may see it. Access is granted by role, and your code and data go into AI tools only with your permission. Every change goes through secret scanning, dependency scanning and static analysis. When the project ends, VAON removes its access.
Backend: Java, Node.js, Python, Django, Laravel. Frontend: React, Vue.js, Next.js, TypeScript. Mobile: Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, React Native. Database and search: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, OpenSearch. Cloud and DevOps: AWS, Google Cloud, Docker, Terraform. E-commerce: Shopify, EC-CUBE. AI and data: OCR, LLM integration, RAG.
VAON engineers use Claude Code and GitHub Copilot every day, but no code is merged just because AI wrote it. The author re-reads it, AI reviews it, another engineer approves it and the team lead decides the merge. Review and test records are kept for every project, and you can see them.
