Catch Up on Haposoft's Highlights

Finance leaders, auditors, and technology experts gathered at the ACCA Seminar on AI Trends in Finance & Accounting at Thang Long II Industrial Park. The discussion explored how finance teams are moving beyond tax compliance toward digital transformation and better business performance. The panel featured: Tran Huy Chung – CEO, Haposoft Nguyen Quynh Nam, FCCA – Managing Partner, Crowe Vietnam Lang Trinh Mai Huong, FCCA – Deputy Director General, International Cooperation Department, State Audit Office of Vietnam Nguyen Phuong Hang, FCCA – Director, Vietsourcing (Moderator) The discussion centered on a critical question facing finance leaders today: How can finance teams evolve from focusing primarily on compliance to becoming strategic partners that drive business performance? Redefining the Role of Accountants in the AI Era For years, finance teams have spent countless hours on manual work—processing invoices, entering data, reconciling records, and validating documents. These tasks are essential, but they shouldn't consume most of an accountant's time. As AI becomes more capable, the role of finance professionals is evolving. Instead of focusing on routine transactions, they can spend more time on analysis, forecasting, risk management, and supporting business decisions. That shift is where finance creates real strategic value. One message resonated strongly throughout the session: AI will not replace accountants. It will empower them. Rather than eliminating jobs, AI frees finance professionals from repetitive work, allowing them to focus on strengthening internal controls, improving governance, supporting business decisions, and creating long-term value for their organizations. The future finance function is defined not by how much data it processes, but by how effectively it transforms data into business insights. Turning AI into Measurable Business Value for FDI Enterprises For many FDI companies operating in Vietnam, the pressure on finance departments continues to grow. Finance leaders are expected to navigate IFRS adoption, maintain strict tax and regulatory compliance, optimize operational costs, and process an ever-increasing volume of invoices and supporting documents—all while providing faster, more accurate financial information to management. This is where AI delivers tangible business impact. Drawing on Haposoft's implementation experience, Chung shared practical examples of how AI-powered Accounts Payable Automation and Intelligent OCR are helping enterprises modernize finance operations. By reducing manual work, improving accuracy, and identifying potential issues earlier, these solutions enable finance teams to operate more efficiently while focusing on higher-value activities. Organizations adopting these solutions have achieved measurable improvements, including: Reducing manual data entry time by 80–90% Achieving 95–99% data accuracy Detecting abnormal transactions earlier—before month-end closing Accelerating invoice processing while strengthening compliance and audit readiness A Practical Roadmap for AI Adoption Many organizations recognize AI's potential but struggle to turn it into practical results. One common mistake is trying to transform every finance process at once. During the seminar, Chung emphasized that successful AI adoption starts with a clear roadmap, not a large-scale rollout. Haposoft's AI maturity model consists of four stages: Digitize → Automate → AI Assist → AI Agent. Digitize – Convert paper-based and fragmented processes into structured digital data. Automate – Eliminate repetitive workflows using intelligent automation. AI Assist – Enable AI copilots to support finance professionals with recommendations, analysis, and productivity. AI Agent – Deploy autonomous AI agents capable of executing predefined finance processes with minimal human intervention. AI doesn't have to start with a company-wide transformation. Pick one process that matters, solve one problem well, and build from there. That's often the fastest way to show value and bring the rest of the organization along. Explore the presentation here: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Adoption Trends in Finance and Accounting A Shared Vision for the Future of Finance The seminar brought together finance and accounting leaders from across the industry. Alongside Haposoft CEO Tran Huy Chung, the panel featured Nguyen Quynh Nam from Crowe Vietnam, Lang Trinh Mai Huong from the State Audit Office of Vietnam, and Nguyen Phuong Hang from Vietsourcing. Each speaker shared practical perspectives based on their own experience, from auditing and compliance to finance operations and digital transformation. Although the discussions covered different topics, one message came through clearly: AI works best when it solves real business problems. For finance teams, that means spending less time on manual processes and more time on analysis, controls, and decision-making. Technology should support professionals, not replace them. The conversations also reflected a common challenge facing many FDI enterprises today. Regulatory requirements continue to evolve, while businesses are under pressure to improve efficiency and make faster decisions. As a result, finance teams are expected to do more than ensure compliance. They are becoming key partners in driving business performance. Looking Ahead Every business starts its AI journey from a different place. The first priority is finding a finance process that is worth improving. Haposoft develops AI solutions for AP Automation, Intelligent OCR, and other finance applications used by FDI enterprises. Finance teams spend less time on repetitive work and gain more time for analysis, controls, and decision-making. What is currently the biggest bottleneck in your finance process? We'd love to hear your thoughts and continue the conversation.

Haposoft and Asia Food Chemical Joint Stock Company (AFCHEM) have officially completed their collaboration on automating and visualizing quality control data for the blending systems used in Jelly powder and Jelly soft candy production. This project marks a significant step forward in AFCHEM's journey toward digitizing its quality management operations. It also plays a key role in helping the company meet the requirements of the FSSC 22000 version 6.0 standard. The newly implemented system is designed to automatically record and visualize quality data, replacing certain manual documentation processes. Information is updated directly onto the platform, which supports monitoring and evaluation under FSSC 22000 version 6.0 — a GFSI-recognized food safety certification program. The system is being assessed by SGS, an international independent certification and inspection body. Successfully Completing the Quality Control Data Automation Phase In the initial phase of the project, Haposoft successfully deployed an automated and visual data management system for AFCHEM's blending lines producing Jelly powder and Jelly soft candy. The solution was built to digitize the data recording process, allowing quality parameters to be uploaded directly to the system instead of relying on manual note-taking. This foundation is critical for helping the company improve data management efficiency while also strengthening its ability to comply with FSSC 22000 version 6.0 requirements. The system enables centralized data storage, visual display, and easy access for monitoring, evaluation, and traceability purposes. Automating the recording process not only minimizes errors associated with manual data entry but also reduces the time needed to compile information across departments. As a result, the quality team can quickly access data and establish more consistent control procedures throughout production. What Improvements Does the System Bring to AFCHEM? Completing this automation and visualization initiative does more than just digitize AFCHEM's quality control processes — it introduces noticeable changes to daily operations. Data is now collected, updated, and managed on a single platform, which reduces manual tasks, improves accuracy, and strengthens oversight across the production cycle. This also serves as an important stepping stone for AFCHEM as it builds a modern quality management framework capable of meeting the food industry's growing demands. Reducing Reliance on Manual Data Recording Previously, quality data was recorded primarily through manual input, which made information compilation and verification both time-consuming and labor-intensive. This approach also carried inherent risks of errors, especially when data passed through multiple steps or came from various sources in high-precision production environments. These challenges not only increased the workload for operating teams but also slowed down response times when quality issues arose. With the system deployed by Haposoft, data from the blending process is now fed directly into the management platform. This significantly reduces dependence on manual recording methods. Automating the data capture process helps minimize entry errors while speeding up the compilation, storage, and processing of information. Consequently, AFCHEM can standardize data management across departments and ensure greater consistency in quality control activities. Enhanced Monitoring and Quality Control Capabilities Beyond automating data capture, the system also visualizes key quality metrics on a unified dashboard, making it easier for management teams to monitor operational status in real time. Important data is displayed centrally rather than scattered across multiple forms or documents, simplifying oversight and assessment. This transparency makes quality control more effective at every stage of production. Quick access to data also allows AFCHEM to detect abnormal parameters early and take corrective action before they impact final product quality. Management teams gain a stronger basis for making decisions grounded in actual data rather than relying on post-production summary reports. This is one of the most significant advantages of applying technology to quality management in a manufacturing setting. Strengthening Traceability and FSSC 22000 Version 6.0 Compliance One of the core requirements of modern quality management systems is the ability to store and retrieve data completely, transparently, and consistently. With the new system, all quality control data is stored centrally and can be accessed whenever needed. This makes it easier for AFCHEM to conduct inspections, evaluations, and information verification — ultimately enhancing transparency throughout the quality management process. In addition to supporting data traceability, the system provides a solid foundation for meeting FSSC 22000 version 6.0 requirements. Data is now recorded fully, accurately, and continuously, which strengthens the company's management capabilities, improves compliance, and ensures readiness for periodic audits. This is also a key factor in helping AFCHEM enhance its competitive position and respond more effectively to partner expectations and export market demands. Expanding Collaboration with IoT Solutions for Wastewater Treatment Following the completion of the quality control data automation phase, Haposoft and AFCHEM will move forward with the next stage: implementing an IoT solution for the wastewater treatment system. This expansion applies technology to environmental monitoring and gradually completes the digital management ecosystem within production operations. The project also reflects the long-term collaboration strategy between the two companies in building technology-driven solutions for business operations. Automating Environmental Data Monitoring and Recording In this next phase, Haposoft will deploy an Internet of Things (IoT) solution to connect the wastewater treatment system with sensors and monitoring devices. Operational parameters will be collected and automatically updated to the platform, replacing manual recording methods and ensuring continuous data capture throughout the process. Digitizing this workflow not only improves data accuracy but also saves time for monitoring and management teams. Once collected, the data will be displayed visually on the system, making it easy for operators to track critical metrics and quickly identify unusual fluctuations. Instead of spending time gathering information from multiple sources, the company can proactively monitor the status of the wastewater treatment system through real-time updates. This provides a strong foundation for enhancing oversight and optimizing environmental management processes. Strengthening Control and Compliance Capabilities Beyond improving monitoring efficiency, the IoT solution also helps AFCHEM strengthen control over environment-related activities. With data being fully recorded and stored centrally, the company can conduct inspections, cross-references, and assessments more easily when needed. Management also gains a stronger basis for operational decisions based on real data rather than manually compiled reports. This represents an important step in AFCHEM's overall digital transformation roadmap, moving toward a transparent, modern management system that meets compliance standards. Expanding technology applications from quality management to environmental monitoring demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainable development. It also creates a strong foundation for continued operational improvements in the future. Haposoft's Commitment to Supporting Businesses on Their Digital Transformation Journey The successful completion of the quality control data automation project, along with the upcoming IoT deployment for wastewater treatment, marks significant progress in AFCHEM's digital transformation. Beyond improving quality and environmental management, this initiative highlights technology's role in building transparent, accurate, and data-driven operational systems. It also strengthens the company's ability to meet international standards and stay competitive in the food industry. With extensive experience in implementing digital transformation solutions for manufacturing businesses, Haposoft remains committed to supporting its clients in building modern management systems tailored to their specific needs and long-term development goals.

Haposoft successfully completed a one-week internship program in collaboration with Foreign Trade University (FTU) and Shitennoji University, bringing together students from Vietnam and Japan. The program focused on a real business challenge in the Japan market. Students were able to see how a Vietnamese IT company approaches client development in practice. Instead of staying within academic frameworks, they worked directly with real market context and business questions. A Practical Collaboration Between Haposoft, FTU, and Shitennoji University The program brought together 4 students from Foreign Trade University (FTU) and Shitennoji University in a shared internship setting at Haposoft. Students from Vietnam and Japan worked alongside each other on the same problem, which naturally led to different ways of thinking and discussion. Instead of being split into separate groups or activities, everyone followed the same working flow. This made the experience feel closer to a real working environment rather than a structured classroom setup. The dynamic came more from interaction and discussion than from any fixed format. The program was built around a real business question that Haposoft is currently exploring. Rather than working on prepared case studies, students had to approach the problem using actual market context and available information. There was no predefined direction, so most of the work came from researching, comparing, and discussing different approaches. Some ideas overlapped, others went in completely different directions. That process itself reflected how similar questions are usually handled in practice. What stood out was not a final answer, but how students approached the problem over time. They had to deal with unclear information, different assumptions, and changing viewpoints during discussions. Instead of being guided step by step, they had to figure out what mattered and what didn’t. This made the experience less predictable, but also more realistic. By the end, the value came from how they thought through the problem, not just what they concluded. Program Recap: What Students Worked On During the Internship Throughout the week, students didn’t just observe from the sidelines; they were deep in the process of solving a tangible business challenge. At the heart of the program was a single, strategic question that Haposoft navigates daily: "How can Haposoft effectively attract and engage more Japanese clients for its software development services?" To build a comprehensive answer, students moved beyond academic frameworks to research and analyze the problem through three critical lenses: The Big Picture: Analyzing the current Vietnam IT outsourcing landscape to understand the country's competitive positioning. The Client Perspective: Identifying the specific expectations, cultural nuances, and working styles that Japanese enterprises prioritize when choosing a technology partner. The Market Strategy: Evaluating how successful IT firms approach, build, and sustain long-term client relationships within the Japan market. This was more than an analytical exercise. Alongside the research process, students also had the opportunity to engage with Haposoft team members who are directly involved in the Japan market. By the end of the week, the value came from their ability to turn market data into actionable ideas, moving beyond theory to reflect how real-world business challenges are solved. By the end of the program, each group presented their proposed approaches based on what they had explored. Rather than aiming for a single correct answer, the focus was on how each team framed the problem and developed their direction. Exploring How Vietnamese IT Companies Enter the Japan Market The discussions were built around how Haposoft is currently approaching the Japan market, rather than general theories about outsourcing. Using this context, the program focused on a few recurring challenges that come up when working with Japanese clients, from how projects are sourced to how relationships are developed over time. Understanding Vietnam’s IT Outsourcing Industry One part of the program focused on how the IT outsourcing industry works in Vietnam, using Haposoft’s working model as the reference point. Instead of going through abstract definitions, we walked through how projects are structured, how teams are set up, and how work is delivered when working with overseas clients. The discussion stayed close to how things actually run inside a company, from internal coordination to day-to-day execution. Understanding the Outsourcing Needs of Japanese Companies The discussion then focused on the outsourcing needs of Japanese companies and the expectations that come with them. Clients tend to require a high level of clarity before work begins, which affects how requirements are prepared and how communication is handled from the start. In practice, this means keeping information consistent, making potential issues visible early, and maintaining a level of transparency that both sides can rely on. Communication here also depends on how well teams adapt to the client’s way of working, not just language. How IT Companies Identify and Develop Clients in the Japan Market The program also covered how IT companies identify and develop clients in the Japan market, based on how Haposoft is approaching it. We shared how projects often come from partner networks or initial introductions, and how relationships are built over time instead of through one-off sales conversations. This also ties to how materials are prepared early on, since company information and past experience are usually reviewed before any decision is made. Bridging Talent with Real Market Expectations This program showed how market expectations differ from what is usually taught in class. Working on a real question made that gap more visible in a short time. It was not about finding the right answer, but about how the problem was approached. That shift is often missing in a typical learning setup. From Haposoft’s side, these are challenges the team deals with regularly when working with Japanese clients. Market entry, communication, and long-term relationships are part of the daily work, not separate topics. Sharing this context helped make the discussion more grounded. It also gave a clearer picture of what is actually required beyond technical skills. Haposoft didn’t run this as a standard internship. We’ve worked with universities for a long time and continue to support student training through these kinds of programs. It’s also how we stay close to the way collaboration between Vietnam and Japan actually happens. We hope this gives the next group of talent a more grounded starting point as they move into the global market. Conclusion Haposoft are glad to have had the opportunity to bring students from different backgrounds into a shared, real working context. Even within a short period of time, the program created space for them to experience how market questions are approached in practice, beyond what is typically covered in class. Seeing how different perspectives came together around the same problem was also a meaningful part of the process for us. Haposoft will continue to expand its work in the Japan market, focusing on how client relationships are built from the early stages. This is an ongoing direction in how the company approaches market entry and long-term collaboration. If you are looking for a software development partner for the Japan market, Haposoft is open to connecting and discussing how we can support your plans.

Haposoft has officially achieved AWS Select Tier Services Partner status. This means AWS has verified that our team holds the required technical certifications and has a proven track record of delivering production workloads on their platform. For clients evaluating cloud partners, this designation replaces guesswork with a third-party validation we can stand behind. The Announcement We started our journey with AWS because we saw its power to transform businesses. Today, we're taking that commitment to the next level. We have officially joined the AWS Partner Network as a Select Tier Services Partner. This designation places us in an exclusive group of consulting partners who have met the rigorous technical and business requirements set by Amazon Web Services. But let's be clear about what this actually means for you, our clients and future partners. Earning this tier wasn't easy. AWS doesn't just hand these out. We had to prove ourselves by: Putting Our People to the Test: We demonstrated that Haposoft has a deep bench of certified cloud practitioners, from architects to developers, whose expertise has been validated by AWS. Showing Our Work: We provided verifiable customer success stories. It means we have successfully launched and maintained real customer workloads generating measurable revenue on AWS. These requirements exist precisely because AWS wants to ensure that partners carrying their badge are not just marketing themselves as cloud experts, but have actually done the work. For context, the AWS Partner Network includes tens of thousands of registered partners. The Select Tier is the first level where AWS applies meaningful filtration—separating firms that made a deliberate, long-term investment in the ecosystem from those who simply signed up. We are now on the other side of that filter. We're sharing this news not to brag, but to give you confidence. When you work with Haposoft, you're not hiring a generalist IT shop. You are hiring a team whose capabilities have been audited and endorsed by the cloud provider itself. In a market where every IT vendor claims cloud expertise, this designation gives you a factual basis for trust. You no longer have to take our word for it; AWS has already done the verification on your behalf. Why We Invested in This (And Why It Matters to You) We pursued the AWS Select Tier for a simple reason: the market is crowded with firms that claim AWS expertise but can’t consistently deliver. For decision-makers, the cost of choosing the wrong partner is measured in delayed timelines, blown budgets, and security gaps that only surface after go-live. The Select Tier process gave us a way to remove that risk. It required AWS to validate our team, certifications, and track record, not just take our word for it. That kind of external validation carries more weight than any claim we could make ourselves. The Select Tier designation translates into three practical advantages for the businesses we work with. Lower execution risk: Cloud migrations fail when the team lacks depth and real expertise. Our architects and engineers have passed AWS certifications that test hands-on capability. Your infrastructure is built on proven best practices, not guesswork. We can offset your upfront costs: As a Select Tier partner, we can access AWS Promotional Credits and POA funding. These are real funds from AWS that help offset the cost of POCs and migrations. You can move forward without committing your full budget upfront. You get a partner that stays invested: AWS does not grant this status to firms that treat cloud as a side business. The requirements include certified staff, proven delivery, and ongoing investment. If we stop delivering, we lose the tier. That alignment of incentives matters. A Word from Our Leadership "We've always believed that our greatest asset at Haposoft is our people and their relentless curiosity," said Tran Huy Chung, CEO at Haposoft. "We have been working with AWS for years, so going through the Select Tier audit was a natural next step. The process forced us to put everything on the table - our people, our certifications, our customer track record and let AWS verify it. For me, the real value is not the badge. It is what it unlocks for our clients. We now have direct access to AWS funding programs that can offset their cost of experimentation. We have a line into AWS technical resources when we hit something we have not seen before. And we have a long-term commitment to maintain the standards that got us here.” What Haposoft Can Do For You As an AWS Select Tier partner, Haposoft is uniquely positioned to help you navigate every stage of your cloud adoption lifecycle. Whether you're just starting out or looking to optimize an existing environment, we offer a full suite of AWS services: Cloud Migration & Modernization: Moving away from legacy infrastructure can be daunting. Our certified architects build tailored roadmaps to migrate your workloads to AWS with minimal disruption and maximum security. Building Data Foundations for AI: Data is the fuel for AI. We help organizations organize, govern, and activate their data using AWS tools, building the robust data foundations required to power predictive analytics and AI initiatives. Security & Compliance: We embed security into your architecture from the ground up, following the AWS Well-Architected Framework to ensure your environment is resilient, compliant, and optimized for cost. The "Unfair Advantage" (Leveraging AWS Funding) Select Tier unlocks something most AWS partners never get: direct access to AWS funding programs. We can leverage Promotional Credits and Partner Opportunity Acceleration (POA) funds to offset your cost of experimentation. Proof-of-concept projects become less expensive. Migrations carry less financial risk. AWS puts money behind our partnership so you do not have to bear the full burden of discovery alone. If you are planning a cloud migration, preparing data for AI, or simply wondering whether your current AWS environment is optimized, we should talk. Contact our team for a complimentary 30-minute Cloud Health Check. We will assess your current infrastructure and identify the fastest path to better performance.
