Each of the 10 IT companies in Singapore we’ve explored offers unique strengths and capabilities, catering to various industries and project requirements. As you evaluate these vendors, it is important to consider factors such as service offerings, industry expertise, pricing models, and client reviews to find the best fit for your specific needs. 

Now, let’s shift our focus to valuable insights on how to choose the right vendor for your business. We’ll cover essential criteria to help you make informed decisions, ensuring a successful partnership that drives your project forward. 

Valuable insights to choose a vendor that suit you the most

When selecting a development provider for your project, it’s important to consider three main factors that will determine whether they are a good fit or not. These factors include their ability to deliver, market and industry experience, and approach to cooperation.  

Ability to deliver

Technical expertise

Technical expertise reflects the vendor’s proficiency in relevant technologies, ensuring scalable and secure solutions tailored to your project. A vendor with strong technical skills helps client lower maintenance costs, minimize risk, and enhance overall project success and reliability.  

How to identify this quality in a vendor:

• Review their tech stack for alignment with your needs. 
• Inquire about past projects for relevant experience. 
• Ask for references to gauge client satisfaction. 

Past project

Past projects showcase the vendor’s experience and ability to address challenges specific to your industry. Their expertise leads to higher quality results, reduced risk of unexpected issues, and a more efficient process overall, ensuring your project is completed on time and within budget. 

How to identify this quality in a vendor:

• Examine their portfolio for similar projects. 
• Request case studies that highlight past successes. 
• Ask for testimonials to understand client experiences. 

Time to deliver

Time to deliver measures how quickly a vendor can start and complete your project without sacrificing quality. Faster delivery enables you to enter the market sooner, gaining a competitive edge and reducing time-to-value for your investment. 

Let‘s take Synodus as an example. At Synodus, they have developed their own delivery method – the Synodus way which enables them to deliver 3x faster with minimal resources without compromising quality. This means you’ll get your cost and delivery time cut down while still hitting the high notes of excellence – that’s the Synodus way in action. 

How to identify this quality in a vendor: 

• Ask about their process for speed and efficiency. 
• Check onboarding time for indications of quick setup. 
• Look at reviews to assess their deadline performance. 

Market and industry experience

Team size

Team size refers to the total number of employees in a company. If your project needs over 40 developers, a larger company can be a better fit, as they offer diverse skills and resources for complex tasks. However, they may have lengthy onboarding processes and could prioritize bigger clients. 

Smaller companies, on the other hand, provide agility and personalized service, often with fewer formalities. While more flexible, they still need to ensure they can commit the necessary time, expertise, and resources to meet your project’s demands. 

Ultimately, the right choice depends on your project needs and the vendor’s ability to adapt to those needs.  

How to identify this quality in a vendor: 

• Ask about their team structure and project allocation. 
• Inquire about their flexibility in scaling teams up or down. 
• Look for client reviews highlighting collaboration experiences. 

Years of experience in the market

Years of experience showcase a vendor’s ability to handle industry challenges and adapt to evolving technologies, making them a trusted partner for delivering successful projects without costly delays. 

However, newer companies can offer similar value. They are adaptable, quick to respond to changes, and provide competitive pricing to build their portfolio and reputation. This can be a great option if you want to tight your budget. 

Take Synodus as an example. With more than 5 years spent in the market, they have been choosen by major clients such as KPMG, BOC Aviation, and TELCO in Singapore. This not only emonstrates that Synodus’ capabilities meet the high standards of the most demanding customers, but also positions Synodus as an equal to companies with far more experience. 

How to identify this quality in a vendor: 

• Review their history and major milestones. 
• Ask about industry-specific experience relevant to your project. 
• Check for partnerships or recognitions that signal credibility. 

Development center in Singapore

A development center located in Singapore offers local advantages in communication, compliance, and efficient project delivery. Local presence facilitates better communication, understanding of regulations, and faster project delivery, enhancing overall project efficiency for the clients.  

However, a company without a development center in Singapore can still help project grow by saving development cost for the clients. For example, both Synodus and FPT Software have development center in Vietnam, where the cost of development is lower in VND compared to USD. This cost efficiency enables clients to optimize their budgets without compromising quality, ensuring they receive high-value solutions that meet their project goals. 

How to identify this quality in a vendor: 

• Confirm their operational base in Singapore. 
• Inquire about their familiarity with local regulations. 
• Ask about their response times and support during project execution. 

Approach to cooperation

Consultancy attitude

A vendor with a consultancy attitude goes beyond simply executing tasks, they engage deeply with your business to understand its unique challenges and provide innovative solutions.  

These vendors actively contribute ideas and recommendations, helping you not just meet your project goals but also uncover opportunities for improvement and growth. A consultancy approach ensures that your vendor acts as a strategic partner, driving long-term value by offering insights that lead to more successful project outcomes. 

How to identify this quality in a vendor: 

• Ask about their problem-solving approach and willingness to share ideas. 
• Look for vendors who offer workshops or training sessions. 
• Check reviews for mentions of knowledge-sharing experiences. 

Partnership approach

A vendor with a partnership approach works closely with you to ensure that both their goals and yours are aligned. They collaborate at every stage of the project, taking ownership of key responsibilities while remaining focused on optimizing costs, timelines, and overall project success. 

True partners take on responsibilities, ensuring that your business objectives are met while optimizing costs and time-to-market, leading to better project outcomes.

How to identify this quality in a vendor: 

• Inquire about their collaboration methods and communication practices. 
• Ask for examples of past partnerships and their outcomes. 
• Evaluate their responsiveness to challenges and changes in project scope. 

Ultimately, selecting the right development partner is not just about ticking boxes—it’s about finding a team that resonates with your vision and can actively contribute to your success. Beside the the technical capabilities, you should focus on their ability to collaborate, innovate, and adapt to your unique challenges.   

A vendor who treats your project as their own and offers proactive insights will drive far greater value in the long run. Whether it’s a large, experienced firm or a nimble, agile team, what truly matters is a shared commitment to quality, efficiency, and lasting partnership.  

With these factors in mind, you set your project up not just for completion, but for excellence.
