Building Solutions Together
We've found that the best mobile projects happen when different perspectives meet. Whether you're bringing technical expertise, market knowledge, or a complementary service, there's probably a way we can work together that makes sense for both of us.
Partnership Models We Actually Use
Different projects need different arrangements. Here's what we've seen work well over the past few years in the Vientiane tech scene.
| Partnership Type | Best For | Your Role | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Co-Development | Companies with development teams who need mobile expertise | Backend systems, business logic, client relationship | 3-8 months typical |
| Referral Partnership | Agencies focused on web or design without mobile capacity | Client discovery, project scoping, ongoing support | Project-based |
| White Label Solutions | Companies offering mobile under their brand | Client communication, requirements, quality assurance | Varies by scope |
| Technology Integration | Providers of APIs, platforms, or specialized services | Technical documentation, integration support | Ongoing |
Partners Who Get It
We've been working with some really solid people in the Laos tech community. Here's what a couple of them have to say about how these relationships actually work in practice.
Viengkham Phonsavanh
Technical Director, Lao Digital Services
We've done three projects together since early 2024. What I appreciate most is that they don't try to own everything. When we bring backend expertise and they handle mobile, there's a clear line where each team's responsibility starts and ends. Makes life simpler.
Sengdeuane Keomany
Founder, Vientiane Creative Studio
As a design-focused agency, we needed someone who could take our mockups and actually build them without endless back-and-forth. The referral arrangement works because they respect our client relationships and we trust their technical decisions.
No Complicated Contracts or Territory Wars
Look, we've seen partnership arrangements that sound great on paper but fall apart when actual work starts. Usually it's because nobody talked about the boring stuff upfront. Who handles client questions at 6pm? What happens when requirements change halfway through? How do we split support responsibilities after launch?
We prefer getting these conversations out of the way early. In most of our partnerships, there's a simple document that covers scope boundaries, communication protocols, and how we handle the inevitable surprises. Nothing fancy, just clear enough that nobody's guessing.
One thing we've learned: partnerships work best when everyone's incentives align. If you succeed when the project succeeds, and we succeed when the project succeeds, most other issues sort themselves out.
We're particularly interested in working with companies that already have established client relationships in Laos. You understand the market context, the cultural considerations, and the specific challenges businesses face here. We bring the mobile development expertise. That combination tends to produce better outcomes than either of us could manage alone.
What Actually Matters in Partnership Projects
Based on what's worked for us and our partners over the past couple of years
Clear Communication Channels
We use shared Slack channels and weekly check-ins. Everyone knows who to ask about what, and responses happen within business hours, not three days later.
Transparent Development Process
Partners get access to our project management tools. You can see progress, review builds, and flag issues before they become problems.
Flexible Engagement Models
Some partners prefer fixed-scope projects, others work better with ongoing capacity arrangements. We adjust based on what actually makes sense for your business.
Shared Quality Standards
We document our testing process, code standards, and quality benchmarks. You know what you're getting, and clients get consistent results.
Honest Timeline Estimates
We'd rather give you a realistic timeline upfront than promise fast delivery and miss deadlines. Most mobile projects take 4-6 months when done properly.
Post-Launch Collaboration
Projects don't end at launch. We work out support arrangements that make sense, whether that's direct client support or partner-managed with our backup.
