1. Overview of AI Deployment in Vietnam

According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, the number of businesses applying AI in Vietnam has significantly increased since 2020, especially in highly digitalizable sectors like retail, banking, logistics, and customer service. However, not all businesses achieve expected results. Success depends on multiple factors—from strategy and data to human resources.

2. Key Success Factors in AI Implementation

• Clear strategy: AI must align with specific business goals.
• High-quality data: Clean, comprehensive, and analyzable data is foundational to any AI system.
• In-house team or trusted partners: AI talent shortage is a common issue, so collaborating with tech firms like Nokasoft is a practical solution.
• Well-defined pilot process: Running a PoC first helps assess effectiveness before full-scale deployment.

3. Case Study 1: Retail Sector

A major supermarket chain in Ho Chi Minh City used AI to analyze purchasing behavior from receipt and loyalty program data. The results included:

• 18% increase in revenue from loyal customers
• Reduced inventory due to accurate demand forecasting
• Optimized promotions based on geographic segmentation

4. Case Study 2: Manufacturing Sector

An electronic component manufacturer in Bac Ninh partnered with Nokasoft to deploy AI for automated visual product quality inspection. After six months:

• Error detection rate rose from 82% to 98.5%
• Inspection time reduced from 3 minutes to 30 seconds
• Saved over 30% in personnel inspection costs

5. Case Study 3: Finance & Banking Sector

A leading bank in Vietnam integrated AI into its chatbot system and credit decision-making process. The outcomes included:

• 40% reduction in call center workload
• Loan approval time cut from 2 days to 30 minutes
• Improved customer retention rate through churn prediction analysis

6. Lessons Learned for Vietnamese Businesses

From the above examples, several key takeaways emerge:

• AI should not be adopted just as a trend, but must address specific business problems
• Invest in building a structured data system from the start
• Training internal teams is critical to operating and continuously improving AI
• Partnering with experts or tech firms can accelerate implementation and ensure quality
