Software Development Review from Robert Hager
Itransition carried out the entire software testing process without a single delay. Despite the remote cooperation, the company ensured ceaseless communication, which indicates a high level of the team’s professionalism and organization.
Software Development Review from Jimmy Carlisle
We needed an in-depth upgrade of the legacy auditing system. We chose Itransition because they swiftly responded to our project requirements and had relevant expertise. The team helped us decide on the solution’s tech stack and designed the new architecture, migrated legacy data, developed new features, and customized the software with extensions. We got a powerful and user-friendly auditing system and were very impressed with the Itransition’s dedication and attention to detail.
Software Development Review from Shoshana Parker
We enjoyed working with Itransition. We needed a solution for transferring health records from our EHR into the data warehouse without losses. We chose Itransition for their experience, portfolio, and past clients’ references, and the team fully met our expectations. They built a custom ETL tool that increased our visibility into clinical data and helped us spot inefficiencies in patient workflows. Needless to say, they also delivered it on time and budget.

AI Development Review from Julia Antoci
Leanware built the mobile MVP of our AI fitness assistant for iOS and Android. It started with discovery workshops that sharpened the product vision and shaped an MVP roadmap prioritizing launch features while leaving room for expansions like avatars and real-time feedback. They developed a conversational AI engine with custom prompt and context engineering tailored to fitness conversations, one that keeps continuity across sessions, remembers user progress and preferences, and keeps health guidance within safety standards. On top of that they implemented photo-based food recognition, smart search that understands fitness intent, personalized recommendations, progress tracking with AI-generated insights and coaching suggestions, and gamified response formats that make AI answers easy to read, plus the scalable backend behind it all. Their consultation saved us an estimated 20 to 30 percent in costs by avoiding unnecessary complexity, and we launched a functional MVP across the app stores in under eight weeks, faster than planned. Project management was exceptional: clear timelines, on-schedule delivery, and proactive communication via Slack, with expert recommendations guiding decisions rather than every choice being pushed back to us. Their technical skill and creativity made the whole thing feel less like hiring a vendor and more like building with a co-founder.
Software Development Review from Anonymous
Leanware delivered two significant projects for our e-commerce platform along with a steady stream of smaller fixes and enhancements. They built a new employee management page in our back office so our customers can create accounts, set permissions, and link employees to entities on their own, and when our mobile app's chat functionality needed replicating in the back office, they built a custom chat and messaging React library from scratch, integrated seamlessly with our design system and existing bespoke solution. Along the way they worked comfortably across Next.js, React, React Native, Apollo, GraphQL, and Hasura, and adapted to our implicit conventions. We ran week-long SCRUM sprints with check-ins three times a week, and they consistently hit the sprint goals on time; even when we needed hard pivots mid-sprint, they adapted without losing pace. As the engagement progressed they increasingly took the lead, asking well-informed questions and offering suggestions on code, product, and design that genuinely enriched the outcomes. What impressed us most was how swiftly they onboarded: given incomplete product descriptions, they asked the right questions to fill the gaps and picked up our undocumented code patterns without getting stuck on minor details. It felt like one cohesive team working toward shared objectives, free of the friction that usually comes with a third party
Mobile App Development Review from Anonymous
Leanware has partnered with us since Q4 2023 on two cloud-based mobile apps for iOS and Android, one built in Flutter and one in React Native, handling development on both and the UI/UX design on one. For one project they staffed a team of five mid-level developers, a senior developer, an architect, and a UX designer available as needed. They also took over an app that was unstable and nowhere near production-ready and turned it into a stable, solid product I'm genuinely proud to show. Their processes leave nothing to chance and the code that comes out of them is excellent; they've been flexible and thorough throughout. They meet deadlines, keep their promises, and are careful about what they commit to. The whole team has been great, and Alvaro, their Technical Product Manager, deserves a special mention for being remarkable. I hired them because they were upfront about what they could and couldn't do, and that honesty, together with the tremendous quality of their work, is what separates them from other providers. Both are getting harder to find these days.

Software Development Review from Claus-Peter Mueller
We have engaged Infinum to develop an app that would digitalise our leasing process. From creating the initial offer through the necessary financing application and client identification to the final signature – all the steps required to successfully lease a vehicle or other object can be performed in-app, freeing the users of friction and having to deal with tedious paperwork.The app itself in the background has 30+ integrations, while keeping a seamless and quick to follow process on the front for our users. That application is in production and Infinum is responsible for maintaining it and further improving. After the initial development, we have additionally expanded our scope from vehicles to other equipment. They have also developed a Leasing widget, product which enables quick financing model while purchasing a vehicle online on car seller marketplace pages. At this moment, we are still in partnership with Infinum, and their engagement is mainly focused on localising the app to other countries and supporting us in our further business expansion. The work performed was done in Ruby on Rails and React technology, with support of other services.
Web Design Review from Anonymous
Thanks to Infinum's website refresh, the client has seen an almost 100% improvement in their website's conversion rates. The team excels at project management, using the client's own proprietary tool and also Figma very well. Their proficiency in design, delivery, and client relations stands out.

Software Development Review from Shaun Bennie
Co-funding’s collaboration with Smartym Pro began from discovery stage and design services for our online investor automation platform. In these initial stages Smartym demonstrated great skill and aptitude which convinced us to appoint them for the full MVP development part of the project. Smartym Pro’s team offered their vision to improve the quality of the delivered product. They met all deadlines and were keen to give great advice. It was a pleasure to work with Smartym Pro’s team.

The Smartym Pro’s team has solid experience in development of web/mobile apps, blockchain platforms and smart contracts. We collaborate with Smartym Pro since June 2018 on 4 projects and are satisfied so far.

Nearshore software development covers a range of technical and creative services that are outsourced to nearby countries or regions. The most outsourced nearshore software development services include:
A nearshore software development company is a firm that provides services to businesses in other countries that are geographically, and often culturally, close.
The structure of a nearshore company is like that of any software development team, comprising:
The top nearshoring locations per region are:
| United States | Western Europe | Eastern Europe |
|
|
|
| Latin America | Asia | Africa |
|
|
|
There are many differences between nearshore, offshore, and in-house software development, ranging from location to costs to how compatible your values are. Below are some of the typical differences between the three:
| Description | In-house | Nearshore | Offshore | |
| Proximity | How close they are located to you | Same country | Same region or continent | Outside the continent |
| Time zone | What time it is where they are | Same | Same or similar | Up to a 26-hour difference |
| Language | What language they communicate in | Same | Same | May be different, depending on location |
| Work culture | How they work | Same | Similar | Different |
| Talent availability | How much access do you have to talent pools | Low | High | High |
| Compliance knowledge | How familiar they are with local data and technology regulations | High | Medium | Low |
| Risk | How vulnerable you are to security and legal risks | Low | Medium | High |
| Cost | How much their services cost on average | High | MediLower than in-house, can be higher than offshore in some locations um | Low |
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.
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 |
| Asia | $25 - $30 |
| Africa | $20 - $40 |
[Source: Bluelight Consulting / Geniusee / Sumatosoft]
On average, the top 50 nearshore software development companies on DesignRush charge $45/hour. Moreover, 3.5% of nearshore software development outsourcing firms on DesignRush accept a minimum budget under $1,000 while 10.5% accept a minimum budget over $50,000.
Costs can also vary because nearshore developers charge depending on:
Established nearshore developers typically charge more than their inexperienced peers. The table below breaks down nearshore development rates based on expertise:
| Expertise level | Years of experience | Average hourly rate |
| Junior | 0-2 | $40 |
| Mid-level | 2-5 | $50 |
| Senior | 5-10 | $60 |
| Architect | 10+ | $70 |
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:
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.
