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.

WooCommerce Review from Amanda Viviano
We hired Qolos to build our local florist shop's website on WordPress and WooCommerce, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the start, they took the time to understand our business and created a site that's not only beautiful but easy for our customers to browse and shop.The WooCommerce setup was seamless, our online ordering works exactly the way we needed it to. But what really sets Qolos apart is their ongoing monthly maintenance. We never have to worry about updates, security, or technical issues because they stay on top of everything. Any time we've had a question or a small change request, they've been responsive and professional.As a small local business, it means a lot to work with a team that genuinely cares about keeping our site running smoothly. Qolos has been a true partner, not just a vendor. Highly recommend them to any local business looking for reliable web design and maintenance!

Web Development Review from Sanjay Singh
I kept getting negative reviews about my app for technical glitches, heating issues, functionality, loading time, crashing, and more bugs. So, I reached out to QOLOS after going through 2-3 renowned review platforms. I explained my app issue to the team, and they did tremendous work with their mobile testing solutions. Also, I wanted to build a website for my app. They created a feature-rich and seamless website.

Working with QOLOS was the best decision I have made in regards to scaling my business. They are professional, so creative, they communicate every step of the way and their pricing is fair for the highest quality work. The designer of our logo and website did it well and I am so impressed and proud of the final product! the designer listened and knew exactly what I wanted which made the process so simple. Seriously could not recommend QOLOS more!

After working with Webisoft for a few months, I'm really pleased with the caliber of support and output I've had. I manage a little business, so I'm highly involved.

However, Webisoft has shown me a great deal of patience and has taken the time to comprehend my unique demands and create a plan to address them.

Software Development Review from Harshal Chhajed
They have highly skilled support staff for faster resolution which leads to customer satisfaction. Also, it has many features including IoT and blockchain apart from regular software development. If there are any changes in the scope of the project at a later stage, it can prove quite costly and also difficult to accommodate last-minute client-side scripting changes. They are versatile, cost-effective, and offer quick customer support. They offer a very customized software development tool where business needs can be addressed. It is very cost-optimized and hence can help generate good returns for business investment.

The most impressive thing was the collaboration we established. I had been creating this app by myself for so long, and all of a sudden, I had a whole team of thought partners. Twenty Ideas really got in there with me, learned what I was trying to make, and collaborated with me on it. It was an extremely rewarding experience, and we're thrilled with the app!

I started working with Twenty Ideas in a part-time consulting capacity, but I became so taken with the team’s passion, mission, and supportive culture, that I ended up applying for a full-time position. I’ve been with the team for three and a half years now, and it’s given opened doors to expand my skill set; work with smart, kind, and dedicated people, every day; and work with clients who truly care about making a positive impact, to create life-changing solutions together.

Igor Caleta-Car's Review Sourced from Google
I worked at Decode for about a year, and during that time I had the chance to meet many wonderful colleagues who helped me grow professionally and learn new skills. Because of the nature of my role, I also had the chance to collaborate with clients across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East, and even visit some of them in person.The team I worked with was everything you could hope for - driven, proactive, and always willing to jump in and help. The development teams I was part of were well-balanced in both skills and personalities, led by highly experienced engineers who lead by example.Beyond the projects themselves, the company culture stands out. People are friendly, and the leadership is focused on sustainable growth while supporting employees development. Decode isn’t afraid to promote talent and encourage people to step outside their comfort zones in order to grow.The office is also in one of the best business neighborhoods in Croatia, with plenty of variety for employees nearby.Overall, I highly recommend Decode as a great place to work!

Their modern design approach aligns well with our vision, and they show a real commitment to delivering a strong final product.What we particularly appreciate is their willingness to engage and adapt as the project evolves. While some aspects require additional clarification along the way, they are always receptive to feedback and ready to adjust accordingly. The overall working atmosphere is positive and professional, making them a great partner to work with. Looking forward to the second half of our project!

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:
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:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Set a budget: Your budget will help you narrow your list of candidates, as it determines which agencies and services you can afford.
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.
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.
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.
