      Mobile App Development Review from Domenic Fraboni

      We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with TouchZen. They took over a bad situation left behind by our previous development team and have been able to continue to build new features while cleaning up the old project. We have been very pleased with their developers responsiveness as well as the project management. I would highly recommend working with them for any of your web or mobile app development needs.

      B2C Apps Review from Brett Lassig

      We have been extremely impressed with TouchZen's development team behind the Get Cover Mobile App. Their approach has been collaborative, and responsive to the needs of our warranty and claims environment. The app is intuitive for end users while still delivering the robust functionality needed on the backend, especially around claims processing, and real-time updates. Their diligence has made a significant impact. Features like streamlined claim submission, status tracking, have enhanced both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Overall, this highly capable and professional development team has delivered quality work and stands behind it. We look forward to continuing to build and scale with them.

      Mobile App Development Review from Dr Asa Frey

      They worked on our app and continue to work on it to this day. We originally had a bad experience with various developers and ended up with a bunch of code and no functioning app - touchzen took the code and audited it and made it work and it work great now. Can't complain - still going to work with them and I would recommend to anyone who wants it done right.

      Software Development Review from Mario Mariani

      We worked in collaboration with Longwave for several projects, including the new version of our Junior Full Stack Developer Course, also having them onboard as teachers. Moreover, I've been working with some of them in another company as I was part of a senior management team. But in the end they are a software development agency, so I am happy to write this review of Longwave Studio to which we outsourced the implementation of our new product that is still in stealth mode. Longwave Studio exceeded our expectations in every way, from planning and designing to developing and delivering the product. They worked closely with our team to understand our needs and vision, and they developed a comprehensive plan to bring our product to life. They were also incredibly responsive to our feedback and made changes as needed to ensure that we were happy with the final product. Longwave Studio's team of experienced developers is highly skilled and knowledgeable in the latest software development technologies. They used their expertise to develop a robust and scalable platform that meets all of our needs. We are extremely pleased with the resultl that Longwave Studio brought to us. It will definitely help us to streamline the business processes and become very effective in what we do. We are confident that we would not have been able to develop such a successful platform without Longwave Studio's help. We highly recommend them to any company looking for a reliable and experienced development partner.

      Software Development Review from Hannes Rössler

      I worked with the Longwave agency on a software project for US physicians involving employees from several teams on our side. The collaboration with Longwave was very easy and straight forward. Everyone in their team had a great can-do attitude and the solution suggestions and execution were extremely professional. Longwave was responsive to all our request and made to find pragmatic, yet reliable ways of executing. Throughout the entire project the agency made proactive proposals how to best move forward and sticked to all their committed timelines. When we moved the project to maintenance mode several different options were offered and Longwave was really helpful in making sure we found the best way to continue collaborating. It was great to have a variety of skills in the agency, including design, backend, web frontend and mobile development. I can strongly recommend this agency for any sort of software project.

      Blockchain Review from Salvatore Campus

      Longwave Studio's work on the "Unblended" project has been nothing short of exceptional. This complex endeavor, involving the creation of a blockchain-based software solution, demanded a diverse skill set, and Longwave Studio delivered on every front. The backend development is robust and reliable, providing a strong foundation for our blockchain-based system. The team exhibited a deep understanding of blockchain technology, ensuring data security and integrity were paramount. The database design is efficient and well-structured, enabling seamless data management and retrieval. The meticulous attention to detail in optimizing database performance greatly enhances the software's overall efficiency. Frontend development, both for the web and app interfaces, is nothing less than stunning. Longwave Studio's designers and developers have crafted an intuitive and visually appealing user experience that sets "Unblended" apart in its industry. Communication and collaboration throughout the project were outstanding. Longwave Studio was responsive, accommodating, and receptive to feedback, ensuring that our vision for "Unblended" was fully realized. The "Unblended" software has already made a significant impact on our operations, thanks to Longwave Studio's exceptional work. We couldn't be more pleased with the results, and we highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-tier software development. In a nutshell, Longwave Studio's development of "Unblended" has set a new standard for excellence in blockchain-based software, and we are excited to continue our partnership for future projects.

      Eric Vardakis's Review Sourced from Google

      I have been using the buildfire mobile app platform for over 3 years now, and this platform is amazing. I've tried other platforms. But, nothing comes close to Buildfire. The features and additional functionality are far superior than any other app platform on the market. With this platform I'm able to provide many options for my clients throughout a list of industries. But, what makes Buildfire reflect superior status is their customer support. Both Sean Hamasha my account manager and Mark Wyatt my customer support specialist are a pleasure to work with. Each of them provide different roles helping me. When I reach out for support I get an immediate follow up on my questions. If I have any technical glitches Mark is always responsive and can't do enough to make sure my apps are running smoothly. When I have any requests for guidance on how certain features can be used, or helping me with structural plans for my business, Sean is always there to guide me through. As a business owner in the media industry for over 30 years, I've always said your employees are a reflection of your brand, and both Sean and Mark are what makes Buildfire the brand they are today. Thanks to both Sean and Mark for all your continued support, and I appreciate all that you do to help my business grow using the Buildfire Platform, and I look forward to working with this great company for many years to come. Sincerely, Eric

      Buildfire was a great platform to get our App online without a big budget. As a really small charity, we could still build - experiment - and deploy with the help of their great development and support team. We've had custom development to keep improving, and the response by our account manager has always been great.

What is an example of nearshore outsourcing?

A popular example of nearshore outsourcing is how Google contracts out its business operations. In 2007, Google partnered with Globant (located in Latin America) to augment its software development team. 

More than 16 years later, Globant still works with Google, training 1,500 Google-certified engineers and investing in Google Cloud capabilities. Additionally, it provides over 27,000 employees to other US-based tech companies and to businesses in other parts of the world. 

How much do nearshore software development companies charge for their services?

The cost of nearshore software development companies can vary wildly depending on where they’re based, ranging from an average of $15/hour for Indian nearshore software development to $70 - $100/hour for developers based in the US.  

Here are the average hourly rates for nearshore software development by region: 

Region  Average hourly rate 
US  $70 - $100 
Western Europe  $50 - $70 
Eastern Europe  $30 - $50 
Latin America  $40 - $60

Why should you hire a nearshore software development outsourcing company?

You should hire a nearshore software development outsourcing company because you can strategically expand your operations without inflating overhead costs. At the same time, it avoids the inherent risks and delays of offshore software development companies.  

Below are additional reasons why you should hire a nearshore software development outsourcing firm: 

  • Augment your staff: Experts predict that there will be 85 million job vacancies due to skill shortages. Nearshore software development fills that gap by providing experts from other parts of the region to areas with large shortages. 
  • Gain an agile team: Nearshore development agencies operate in similar time zones, allowing for faster communication, easier schedule alignment, and real-time collaboration. You can expect quicker response times and project turnaround rates. 
  • Affordability: Cost-efficiency is the biggest reason brands outsource. With a lower cost of living in other regions, nearshore software development companies can offer more affordable rates without sacrificing the quality of work. 
  • Experience strong cultural fit: Countries located in the same region often share different similarities in organizational culture, work ethics, and values. They might even share your language. It’s easier to work with them, as there is little-to-no cultural and language barrier. 
  • Expand your resources: Since nearshore software development outsourcing companies can transcend geographical borders, you can access a wider range of global talents and experts who can better serve your business goals. 
  • Ensure legal compliance: Being geographically close means nearshore software development firms are likely more familiar with your country’s technological and data laws, better ensuring legal compliance. 
  • Increase flexibility and efficiency: Nearshore software development firms help you easily scale your team on demand, allowing for flexibility and faster business growth. At the same time, they let your team focus on vital business activities by taking some responsibilities off your plate. 
  • Mitigate risk: 74% of small- and medium-sized businesses are considering nearshoring to improve supply chain stability and security. Nearshore software development minimizes the risks associated with outsourcing, given their time zone and cultural and language compatibility. 

The revenue of business process outsourcing services in the US is projected to reach $134.3 billion in 2024, signifying increasing demand and competition for nearshore software development outsourcing firms. 

AMSJ is one example of a business that has greatly benefited from working with a nearshore software development firm. After 50 years in the healthcare industry, ASMJ’s needed to digitize its customer channels. Previously, patients needed to call or visit its clinics to book an appointment. But, after the partnership with Octobot, patients could schedule appointments via web and mobile portals. 

Through this digital transformation, ASMJ gained over 20,000 active users and booked more than 2,000 appointments per month. This helped the healthcare facility increase patient retention and growth, boost efficiency, and grow its revenue.  

How do you choose the best nearshore software development outsourcing firm for your business?

You can choose the best nearshore software development outsourcing firm for your business by following the steps below:

  1. Identify business needs: Work closely with your team to determine your current capabilities and shortcomings. Then, specify your objectives in hiring a nearshore software development firm. 
  2. Define your project requirements: Outline the project scope, timeline, communication guidelines, and technologies needed. These dictate the specific skills and expertise you’ll need for your project. For example, a brand that wants to build on Shopify wouldn’t need a WordPress developer. 
  3. Consider industry experience: Review company portfolios and case studies for projects like yours. Agencies familiar with your industry, target markets, and project specifications have the relevant expertise to meet your goals, better anticipate your needs, and accelerate project delivery. 
  4. Look at their track record: Find reviews and rankings, check their social media, and read case studies. This will reveal their work quality, reliability, and how easy it is to collaborate with them. 
  5. Research their home country: Understand the political and economic stability of the companies you’re considering. Agencies in countries with a lot of political strife pose a higher risk of project complications and even incompletion. Additionally, understand the country’s education and reputation in the field. Some popular nearshoring countries rate highly in technological education and skills rankings worldwide.  
  6. Set a budget: Your budget will help you narrow your list of candidates, as it determines which agencies and services you can afford. 
  7. Send a request for proposal (RFP): Every project is unique and will be priced differently. Send a request for proposal (RFP) to your shortlist of nearshore developers. 
  8. Conduct an interview: Even if nearshore software development companies often have a stronger cultural fit than other types of outsourcing, you still need to meet directly with agencies to test your compatibility. An interview will better show if they share the same values and work ethics as your business. 
  9. Choose your nearshore software development firm: Notify your final candidate of your decision, sign contracts, and discuss in detail your project scope, expectations, and business goals. You must also establish your project management and communication process to make sure you’re always aligned and updated.
