What Tinhvan Group does

Tinhvan Group (Công ty Cổ phần Tinh Vân) is a Vietnamese IT company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Hanoi, operating a multi-subsidiary structure that delivers packaged software products, IT consulting and implementation services, and offshore software outsourcing. The group employs 251-500 staff across at least three vertically aligned business units: Tinhvan Solutions (TVS) for government and banking; Tinhvan Consulting (TVC) for ERP and HRM implementation; Tinhvan Education (TVE) for educational technology; plus Tinhvan Software (TSO) and Tinhvan Japan (TVJ) for offshore software outsourcing into US, German, Singapore and Japanese clients. Core proprietary products include HiStaff (a 700-plus function HRM with eight modules), Libol (digital library built on MARC 21/AACR-2/ISBD standards, deployed at 100+ institutions), TViS (Oracle/Microsoft/IBM-based portal solution), Foldio (SharePoint-based document and dossier management), eFile (archiving), Qualita (asset management), and Classbook (eBook publishing platform). The company is ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and CMMi Level 3 certified, has accumulated seven Sao Khue Awards including a 2024 award for its Kitano internal audit product, and lists Vietnam's National Assembly, Ministry of Finance, State Bank of Vietnam, Vietcombank, Techcombank, Honda Vietnam, Hyundai Kefico, Vinamilk, and Hanoi National University among its named customers.

The group earns revenue across five distinct streams: software licensing for packaged products, professional services for ERP/HRM/CRM implementation, offshore and onshore software outsourcing and BPO, online advertising through its Xalo platform, and system integration. Pricing is predominantly quote-based and not publicly disclosed; online advertising packages include monthly subscriptions and CPM/CPC usage-based options. Distribution is led by direct enterprise field sales, with each subsidiary addressing a defined vertical, supplemented by a self-serve consumer channel via Classbook.vn for K-12 digital textbooks and by partnership-based distribution for content (Kim Dong, Tre, NTT Solmare) and digital distribution (Viettel, Mobifone, Vinaphone). Recent corporate moves have emphasized product expansion (Kitano internal audit in 2024, HiFACE+ facial recognition, MK e-ID citizen identification in 2023) and international partnerships with Magic Software Japan, Lancs Net, Contour, and Alpha Books.

Tinhvan targets a domestic-first customer base concentrated in Vietnamese government ministries and state-owned enterprises, alongside banking, education, and large private-sector accounts, with offshore services extending to Japan (including Tinhvan Japan JSC), the United States, Germany, and Singapore. Its competitive position rests on regulatory localization for Vietnamese public-sector workflows, three decades of proprietary product investment, mature delivery certifications, and entrenched relationships with senior decision-makers in ministries and large banks.
