Why ambitious companies choose Azendo.
We are a niche, boutique software company that builds high-performing offshore teams from Thailand. We put people first, we speak plainly and we own what we promise. We work with ambitious companies that value quality over the lowest price.
Three things to remember about us.
Cost is a benefit of where we are. The reason to choose us is how we work, and it comes down to three things.
- 01
Value for money, at another service level
We cost a little more than the cheapest option, and you can see where the money goes. The people on your team are managed every day, coached and trained all the time, and work from a proper office on premium equipment. All of it is in one monthly amount.
We build partnerships that run for years.
- 02
The quality of the people we select
Culture, mindset and hard-skill tests before anyone joins a client team, so the fit is to the role, to your culture and to ours. Then the Academy keeps them growing.
Everyone is hired for a client team, never taken from a bench. Team members stay 3.3 years on average.
- 03
Real communication
We are direct with clients and team members alike. Everyone knows where things stand, and problems get named early so they can be fixed.
A delivery survey every week and a 1:1 with the Head of Delivery every two weeks.
A human first company.
We lead with frihed under ansvar, freedom with responsibility. It shows in how we treat our team members, and in how we work with you.
- 1 People firstWe never call people resources. Team members have a coach, a development plan and a career path, and they know it. It is a big part of why they stay.
- 2 Proud, and never satisfied with the status quoWe take pride in what we deliver and we challenge how things are done, including our own habits. When something can be better, we change it.
- 3 Quality over quantityIt runs through everything, from selection to the way we manage every day. Companies that had a bad outsourcing experience before tend to get a real "wow" when they work with us.
- 4 Ambitious, with ambitious companiesWe go the distance with the companies we work with: sparring on delivery, infrastructure and sometimes strategy, long after the first sprint.
Built in Thailand, the region's rising tech base.
Danish management since 2010, BOI-registered, and around a hundred people across our two offices. Thailand gives us the talent; we give it the standards an international client expects.
- Two hubs, one talent poolOur offices are in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, the two biggest tech hubs in the country. We hire in both, and everyone belongs to one organisation.
- A country investing in its tech sectorThe Thai government and the Board of Investment back digital infrastructure, AI and skills directly. Thailand is building its position as the technology base of Southeast Asia, deliberately.
- A growing pool of engineers, still under the radarUniversities and government-backed programmes keep widening the pipeline of software, data and AI talent. Thailand is not yet the destination everyone knows, so exceptional people are still available.

Questions about working with us.
Why not just pick the cheapest provider?
Because the cheapest option leaves the management with you: finding the people, keeping them, training them and stepping in when delivery slips. Our fee is a little higher and includes all of that, plus a service delivery manager who knows your account and acts on your feedback. If you have already priced an hourly arrangement, IT staff augmentation services compares the two.
Who do you do your best work for?
Companies that run their own product and want more hands on it: a software house that has worked with offshore teams for years and knows what it owns, a funded startup that needs more engineers soon and will direct them, an engineering department that wants QA or DevOps as a standing part of the team. You set the direction, review the work and talk to the people on your team every day. We select, train, manage and keep them. Companies in that position hire dedicated development team members through a managed team.
What makes this different from staff augmentation?
With plain offshore staffing or staff augmentation the provider finds a developer and the managing is left to you. We deliver staffing for tech roles as a fully managed service: the team members are ours, we employ them, assign them to you full time, coach them and follow up on delivery with you every week. If you are still comparing models, staff augmentation vs managed services sets the two side by side.
Who owns the product and the code?
You do. The roadmap, the priorities, the repositories and everything the team produces are yours. Our developers work inside your systems as part of your team, and our managers stay out of them. Their job is the people.
Where is the team, and who employs them?
In our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand. Azendo is the employer, so contracts, salaries, payroll, benefits and leave are our job. You sign one service agreement with us and receive one monthly invoice, with no entity to register in Thailand.
