What is nearshore software development?
What is nearshore software development?
Nearshore software development is outsourcing engineering to a partner in a nearby time zone, so the team works most of the same hours as yours. For a North American company that means the Americas and Canada. For a UK or EU company it means the rest of Europe.
What do nearshore software development services include?
Managed teams, staff augmentation and fixed-scope builds, with a delivery lead, the engineers, the process and the security controls supplied by the partner, and the product decisions kept by you.
What does a nearshore software development company do?
It proposes named engineers for your stack, runs them as a team with a lead in your time zone, plugs into your tools and ceremonies, and reports velocity, quality and cost so you can scale the team up or down.
When nearshore is the right call
-
Your product team needs daily overlap
Standups, pairing and reviews in your working day. North American teams get leads in Canada. UK and EU teams get engineers in the same or an adjacent time zone.
-
You need 3 to 15 engineers, soon
A team proposal in five days and a pilot in two weeks, without a recruiting cycle, for a team that ships every sprint.
-
Compliance is a requirement
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls apply to every nearshore engagement, the same as our own delivery, with a written offboarding for every engineer.
Our nearshore engagement models
Three ways to engage. Pick by who manages the work and how long it runs. The lead, the process and the security are the same behind each.

Nearshore, offshore or in-house software development
What changes between the models, on the criteria buyers compare. Nearshore trades some cost for daily overlap, offshore trades overlap for cost.
- In-house Your own hires and your own management
- Nearshore with Dedicatted Teams in Canada and Europe, a lead in your time zone
- Offshore A dedicated team managed by us, with planned overlap
| In-house Your own hires and your own management | This page Nearshore with Dedicatted Teams in Canada and Europe, a lead in your time zone | Offshore A dedicated team managed by us, with planned overlap | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time zone overlap | Full | Most of your working day | A planned window each day |
| Collaboration | In the room | Live, every day | Written daily hand-offs |
| Time to first engineer | 8 to 12 weeks | 2 weeks | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Cost per engineer | Highest | Lower than local hiring | Lowest |
| Who manages | You | Our lead, with you | Our lead, reporting to you |
| On-site visits | Any day | Short flights, same continent | Planned, a few times a year |
| Data protection | Your policies | Your policies plus SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls | Your policies plus SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls |
| Best for | Core product leadership | Product teams that ship weekly | Long-running, well-specified work |
| Get a team proposal → | Offshore development services → |
Many clients run both, a nearshore core for the product work and an offshore team for the long-running backlog.
Plan a mixed teamHow does nearshore software development work?
How do companies use nearshore development teams?
To add capacity to a product team without a hiring cycle, to build a defined product or feature at a fixed price, to run a platform or operations function, and to get specialist skills, cloud, data or AI, that are hard to hire locally.
What is the nearshore engagement process?
Scoping call, team proposal within five days, a two-week paid pilot at a fixed price, then ramp-up one interview per engineer and a quarterly review of velocity, quality and cost.
How fast can a nearshore team start?
Two weeks from the scoping call to the first engineer on your standup. The full team ramps over the following weeks as the pilot proves out.
How nearshore software development works with us
From the first call to a team on your standup. The first paid step has a fixed price, so the decision to continue is yours, with evidence.
-
Day 1
Scoping call
Thirty minutes on your product, your stack and the gap in the team. You leave with a written brief and a recommendation on the model.
- Written brief and success criteria
- Nearshore, offshore or a mix, recommended
-
Days 2 to 5
Team proposal
Named engineers with profiles, a delivery lead, the monthly rate and a start date. You interview each engineer before anything is signed.
- Profiles, a lead and a monthly rate
- One interview per engineer
-
Weeks 1 to 2, fixed price
Paid pilot
The team takes a real slice of your backlog on your tools and ceremonies. You judge velocity and quality on evidence rather than a sales deck.
- Working software from your backlog
- Velocity and quality report
-
From week 3
Ramp and review
The team grows as the pilot proves out and reshapes with the roadmap. Velocity, quality and cost are reviewed with you every quarter.
- Ramp plan, one interview per person
- Quarterly review of velocity, quality and cost
Canadian leadership, European engineering
Leads sit in Eastern time. Engineers work from Eastern and Southern Europe. Your standup happens in your working day either way.
- 3 regions, Canada, Eastern Europe and Southern Europe
- 2 weeks from scoping call to the first engineer
- 1 lead accountable for the whole team, in your time zone
- 30 days notice to scale the team down, no minimum term beyond the pilot
Every engineer works under the controls audited for our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs, with a written offboarding when the engagement ends.
What are the benefits of nearshore software development?
Why choose nearshore over offshore?
Live overlap. Standups, pairing and code review happen in your working day rather than the next morning, which is what keeps a team that ships weekly from stalling on hand-offs.
What are the key benefits of nearshore development?
Senior engineers in weeks rather than months, a lower cost per engineer than local hiring, daily overlap with your team, and a partner that carries the recruiting, the management and the compliance.
How does nearshore development improve delivery?
By turning capacity into a variable you can plan, with named engineers, a monthly rate, a lead accountable for the outcome, and numbers reviewed every quarter.

FAQ
Where are your nearshore teams located?
Leadership and architects are in Canada. Engineering teams work from Eastern Europe, including Poland and Ukraine, and from Southern Europe, including Spain and Portugal. North American clients get a lead in Eastern time and a daily overlap window with the engineers. UK and EU clients get engineers in the same or an adjacent time zone.
Is nearshore or offshore cheaper?
Offshore is cheaper per hour. Nearshore is usually cheaper per delivered feature when the team ships weekly, because hand-off delays disappear. Our offshore development services page covers the other side.
How fast can a team start?
Two weeks from the scoping call to the first engineer on your standup, with a team proposal within five days.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do, from the first commit. Every engagement runs in your repositories and your accounts, under your policies.
How do you handle security and compliance?
Under the same SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls as our own operations, with access reviews, device and network policies, and a written offboarding for every engineer.
Can we interview the engineers?
Yes. One interview per engineer before they start, and you can ask for a replacement at any point. We swap within two weeks.
How do you use AI in delivery?
Our engineers use AI at every stage, drafting code, tests and documentation, reviewing pull requests and profiling systems. Every result is verified by an engineer before it ships, and a person owns every release.
What is software nearshoring?
Software nearshoring is moving engineering work to a partner in a nearby time zone rather than a distant one. It keeps standups, pairing and reviews inside the working day, which is why product teams that ship weekly prefer nearshore software outsourcing to offshore.
Do you do nearshore application development for web and mobile?
Yes. Nearshore application development is most of what our teams do, from web platforms and mobile apps to the cloud, data and AI services behind them, delivered by named engineers you interview first.
