Company Bio
SHIFT ASIA was founded in 2016 in Ho Chi Minh City as the Southeast Asia hub of SHIFT Inc., the Tokyo-based software quality assurance and third-party verification company founded in 2005. After SHIFT built its reputation as a QA leader in Japan, SHIFT ASIA was established to bring the same standard to clients across Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world.
The company pairs SHIFT Group's QA methodology with strong Vietnamese engineering talent. Its teams include ISTQB-certified, bilingual engineers, and its work is backed by ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security. What started as a testing center of excellence has grown into a full software quality partner covering testing, development, and AI-driven delivery. Senior engineers stay in charge of every project. AI helps them move faster, but it doesn't replace their judgment. Together with its sister company SHIFT USA in Palo Alto, SHIFT ASIA works with clients in Japan, Southeast Asia, North America, and beyond.

Reviews
SHIFT ASIA has ranked 11th on Clutch's list of top software testing companies.
Clear communication: Clients mention regular status reports, proactive updates, and account managers who keep things moving, even when team members change mid-project.
On-time delivery: Reviewers describe a migration and a major release, both completed on schedule without major issues.
Quality focus: One client praised the detailed test cases and the team's push for zero defects before launch.
Fast response: Clients note quick turnaround on staffing, quotes, and contracts.
Reviewers are honest, too. One said costs run a little higher than some other vendors, while calling the quality of the work excellent. For buyers who prioritize reliability first, that trade-off is usually worth it.
Why SHIFT ASIA
Buyers get the discipline of Japan's QA leader, the cost and talent advantages of Vietnam, and a team that treats quality as a shared goal rather than a checklist. If your product can't afford to fail in production, SHIFT ASIA is built for that job
