About – Beta | Silicon Stack

Our story

Silicon Stack began when Luan Tran was asked to develop a vehicle trading platform for Australia and International market for a major player in the automotive industry. Even with his 16 years of experience, it was a big challenge.

Having long held ambitions to start his own venture, Luan saw this as his opportunity to take the leap. In 2016, he shook hands on the project and hired his first team of developers that would mark the beginning of Silicon Stack in Australia.

The business now has a team of 100+ developers, quality assurance experts, project managers and strategists across offices in Australia, Vietnam and India.

As the leader of the organisation, Luan Tran has two decades of experience as a developer, manager and strategist in the technology, software and cloud-computing industries.

Having held technical and leadership roles in the automotive and agriculture industry, Luan has designed and delivered several large-scale national and international software applications including ERP, finance, e-commerce, analytics and enterprise resource planning systems.

Luan led the team responsible for building Australia’s second and third largest dealer management systems and expanding them globally. He has worked with leading brands like John Deere, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, General Motors – Holden, Ford, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mahindra, Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Sensis, AP Eagers Group, X-Time, Manheim and many more.

Luan is an evangelist for the power of innovative technology to build businesses, and is passionate about user experience, analytics, big data, mobile and connected technologies. He is fluent in English, Vietnamese and Chinese (Cantonese).

Driven by Luan’s personal philosophy, Silicon Stack takes a long-term approach to client partnerships and is firmly committed to keeping promises, delivering quality software and working with passion, creativity and integrity.

Our Services

Rather than build and move on, our approach to software development and product design is to form trusted long-term relationships with our clients spanning strategy, build, testing, launch and optimisation.

Yes, successful technology projects require beautiful design, intuitive user interfaces and elegant code, but the true value is unlocked when you combine this with intelligent strategic thinking and a deep understanding of data, security, integrations and long-term objectives. This is what makes Silicon Stack different.

Using a lean and agile development process, we start by taking the time to gain a shared understanding of the opportunity or challenge before we collaborate on a minimal viable product to kick off the process.

We are not precious when it comes to getting the right result. We provide full transparency every step of the way, test and optimise as we go with working prototypes, and provide regular updates on progress and timelines. We can also help with your launch marketing, growth and ongoing support.

If you’re facing a mission-critical business opportunity or challenge, we’ll help you push the boundaries with strategy, product design and technology.

Our approach

In an industry littered with cautionary tales, short-term thinking and budget blowouts, we pride ourselves on creating quality solutions that deliver sustainable business results and return on investment.

Founded by industry veteran Luan Tran in 2016, Silicon Stack’s reputation, and client list, has grown steadily by word-of-mouth referrals.

Project by project, Silicon Stack has built up a proven track record of success stories by providing over 80 major digital solutions ranging from enterprise-wide finance platforms and dealer management systems through to mobile apps, websites, internet of things solutions and games.

Silicon Stack is now trusted by 65 partners spanning industries including automotive, agriculture, construction, transport, logistics, auctions, signage, real estate, health and fitness, finance and retail. We work with clients across Australia, New Zealand, UK, Italy, Thailand, India, Bangkok, Vietnam, Malaysia and the USA.

If you have bold ideas, or big challenges, we’d love to work with you to see them through.

What clients say about us

“ We have been extremely impressed with Gabriel and Joy for their hard work and dedication to the project. We have recently completed Stage 1 of the project, ahead of time, thanks to both of them, but particularly Gabriel. Gabriel’s ability to understand work requirements and provide accurate estimates on development time means we are always on or ahead of schedule, and he is very proactive in reporting any issues, concerns, or improvement suggestions. Joy has also been great to work with, identifying and lodging issues while completing her QA and raising them with us for review and allocation. We are lucky to be working with such high quality resources. Gabriel and Joy are both excellent to work with and we appreciate their expertise greatly. I wanted to pass this feedback to you directly, as I think it is important for hard workers to be recognized with management. ”

“ On behalf of myself and the team I would just like to add an additional thanks for all the hard work and commitment that the Vietnam team has made to helping us meet our goals. We certainly wouldn’t have been able to achieve what we did in such a short timeframe without your help, and it is greatly appreciated. It was wonderful to meet with (most!) of you in Vietnam last year and I hope that we will find some other opportunities to work together in the future! ”
