Offshore developers who work on your product, and only yours.

Every specialist we assign works full time for one client: you. They're in your standups and your repos from week one, and within a few months they know your codebase as well as your own engineers do.

It's made for companies whose product grows faster than local hiring can keep up. A dedicated development team from Azendo adds the capacity in weeks. The priorities stay yours. The people are ours, and so is the managing.

Your offshore development team in four steps.

From the first call to an offshore development team shipping on your roadmap in four to six weeks, and you sign off every step.

Step 01

Share your roadmap

Tell us what you're building and where you're short on hands. A short brief is enough.

Step 02

We build your team

We pick AI-trained specialists for the roles you need and propose the hours and a start date.

Step 03

Your team starts

They work in your tools and your sprints. Your service delivery manager runs the show and keeps you posted.

Step 04

Scale when you need to

Add people or hours at the next monthly cycle. Same agreement.

We run everything around your offshore development team.

Staffing providers hand you a developer and leave the rest to you. We do offshore staffing and staff augmentation as a full service, and take care of everything around the people, from the office and the coaching to the delivery itself. You get a world-class offshore development team without having to run one.

"Every partnership gets all of us. Your team is ours to stand behind, every single day."

2010

Founded in Thailand as VSI GROUP

16 years

Delivering for partners worldwide

Sixteen years as an offshore software development company in Thailand.

Mikkel Schmidt came to Chiang Mai from Denmark in 2010 and started a small agency called VSI GROUP. It grew into a company that builds offshore development teams for long-term product work, and in 2022 it became Azendo, from the Latin ascendo, to climb.

Today we're around a hundred people in our own offices, a floor in Chiang Mai and a second office in Bangkok, all on our own equipment. Azendo is BOI-registered in Thailand.

"We believe in direct and honest communication, and we own what we promise."

What partners say about their offshore development team.

Two managing directors, in their own words.

SaaS · Software development

“Azendo delivered great service. The team developed SaaS platforms that support all-in-one digital fire safety solutions, delivering the web app alongside native iOS and Android apps. The system centralizes fire plans, drawings, legal requirements, ownership mapping, and much more. Workflows were designed around how construction teams, facility managers, and technicians actually operate on-site, streamlining what was previously scattered across paper and disconnected systems.”

Morten Kjærgaard Myrup Managing director, E-fire
NordicWorkflow Rust development · Mobile development

“We were initially skeptical about the outsourcing industry, but our experience with Azendo, along with their level of competence and professionalism, has completely changed our perspective. We have successfully collaborated with Azendo on several projects over the past 2 years.”

Adrian Ravn Nielsen Managing director, NordicWorkflow

What companies ask before they build an offshore development team with us.

What is an offshore development team?

Developers in another country who work on your product as part of your team. Ours work full time for one client, from our own offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, with a service delivery manager who owns delivery. You pay one fixed monthly fee, and our people stay with us 3.3 years on average.

Are you a staffing company or a software development company?

Both, really. We're an offshore software development company that does staffing and staff augmentation for tech roles as a fully managed service. Our developers work full time on your product, and a service delivery manager on our side owns planning, quality and what ships. You set the priorities. You don't manage individuals.

How is this different from a project agency?

An agency builds a project, hands it over and moves on. Our teams stay. The same offshore developers work on your product month after month, and everything they learn stays with you.

Who does the work?

Named specialists in our own offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, full time on your product. You always know exactly who is on your team. See how we pick them when you hire offshore developers.

Who manages the offshore development team?

We do. Your service delivery manager keeps the team on track and owns the result, in good sprints and bad ones. You decide what gets built.

What happens if a developer leaves?

We find and onboard the replacement, and your roadmap keeps moving. Good documentation keeps the knowledge in more than one head, and your service delivery manager plans the handover with you.

How is it priced?

One fixed monthly fee for an agreed number of hours, the same every month. We'll quote it after a short scoping call.

How quickly can our team start?

Usually four to six weeks after signing, with a firm date in the proposal. You meet the specialists before anyone is assigned. Nothing is paid before their first working day, and if we can't find the right people in the agreed window, you walk away at no cost.

Can we add disciplines later?

Yes. Add QA, DevOps, design or data people as the product grows, under the same agreement. New roles join at the next monthly cycle, and your service delivery manager makes sure the rest of the offshore development team keeps its pace.

Can the team work remotely inside our own tools?

Yes, that's how every team works. Your remote team joins your Slack or Teams, your repos, your tickets and your sprint rituals. Only the people on your team get credentials, and the code is always yours.

Is this the right model for us?

It's made for companies with a product that keeps growing and a roadmap that runs for years. The longer the roadmap, the more it pays off, because the same people stay on it. Still comparing? staff augmentation vs managed services puts the two side by side.
