What AGEST Vietnam does

AGEST Vietnam Co., Ltd. (AGV) is a Vietnam-headquartered IT services and digital transformation company that traces its origins to LogiGear Vietnam, established in Ho Chi Minh City in 2004 as the Vietnamese affiliate of LogiGear Corporation (founded in Silicon Valley in 1994). Following Digital Hearts Holdings' acquisition of LogiGear Corp. between 2021 and 2023, the Vietnam entity was rebranded to AGEST Vietnam and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGEST, Inc., a Japan-headquartered holding company spun off from DHH in 2024. AGV delivers end-to-end services across five pillars: Software Engineering (custom web/mobile development, modernization, maintenance, consulting, and staff-augmentation Talent Hub), Software Testing (test automation, performance and load testing, manual and exploratory testing, and QA consulting), Big Data & AI (data engineering, machine learning models, BI dashboards, predictive insights), DevOps & Cloud (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes), and Cyber Security (risk assessment, application and infrastructure security, GDPR/ISO/HIPAA compliance, threat detection and prevention). Its proprietary technology stack centers on TestArchitect (an enterprise test-automation suite with action-based testing methodology) and includes industry-standard tools such as Selenium, Appium, Playwright, plus Salesforce Service Cloud and Kycos ID Verification integrations.

The company operates from three Vietnam offices — Ho Chi Minh City (headquarters, 253 Hoang Van Thu Street), Da Nang (Test Engineering Division II), and Hanoi (AGEST Hanoi, opened 2022) — and is part of a multinational group that includes AGEST Japan (Tokyo), LogiGear Corporation (San Mateo, USA), GPC K.K. and CEGB Co., Ltd. (Tokyo), and DWS Limited (UK). Reported headcount exceeds 700 engineers across Vietnam, Japan, and the US, with the company claiming 700+ brands served and 12,000+ successful projects. It holds SOC 2 Type I and Type II certifications (DNV-verified), ISO 27001, and positions GDPR/HIPAA compliance capabilities. Primary customer verticals are Finance & Banking and Technology (including telecom carriers and global networking/cloud vendors), with secondary exposure to Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Enterprise, Network & IoT, Blockchain/AI, and Logistics & Supply Chain. Revenue is generated primarily through professional-services engagements (project-based and dedicated-team delivery) supplemented by TestArchitect software licensing (node-locked, floating, site, education, trial, and run-only-floating license options). GTM is sales-led direct enterprise engagement, with a free 2-week Proof-of-Concept automation testing offer used as a bottom-of-funnel lead-generation tool in the BFSI segment.
