Software Development Review from Thomas McHugh
We have used a variety of skill sets provided by Code & Pepper including UX design, development. We have also found using their Scrum process to be very beneficial to measuring the progress of the project. We are happy to recommend Code & Pepper as a partner.
Mobile App Development Review from Christian Schneider
The team at Code & Pepper has been very responsive to our business needs since the beginning of our collaboration. When new requirements emerged, they were always both fast and diligent to provide us with candidates that fully met our teams’ requirements. Experts in specialized software development areas are always in high demand so having a competent partner by your side is a great help to move quickly as a start-up!
Software Development Review from Johannes Fritz
The Code & Pepper team became involved in the process of designing the desired tool already at the bidding stage. They had a very practical approach from the very beginning and this is what made us select them. We could tell that Code & Pepper understood what we were about and had researched our existing site and the nature of its activity. Also, they had addressed the problems which we had with the original drafts of our contract in terms of timing and scope.

I have been working at the company for a year. One of my favorite things is the sense of community among coworkers; it feels like being part of a big, friendly family. Another aspect I appreciate is the professional growth opportunities. I am working on different projects where I can improve my skills and face new challenges.

Immediate and attentive assistance, with great willingness to follow you step by step to familiarize yourself with the system and its updates.
Federico Mazzucchelli's Review Sourced from Google
Without a doubt, an excellent experience. The project was followed down to the smallest detail, from the initial explanation of our needs to the perfect import of the vast amount of data we had in a thousand Excel spreadsheets. Delivery was very quick, even a few days earlier than expected (which was, after all, a very short timeframe). Immediate post-sales support for the countless changes that annoying customers like me require. Now I have a work tool that allows me to monitor all my business activities at an excellent price, much lower than "renowned" solutions. I also used the email integration to quickly import new leads. Well done, highly recommended not only for their work style, but also for the results. We've been partnering with them for three years.

Philipp Pils's Review Sourced from Google
For me, FHC+P is the perfect employer. I've been part of the team for five years now, and during that time I've found exactly what I was looking for: a blend of freedom and security. The work is self-directed, without constant micromanagement or complicated processes – this gives me the freedom to carry out my tasks as I see fit. At the same time, I don't have to worry about financial risks, such as illness. This combination of independent work and the security of a permanent employment contract makes FHC+P an exceptionally good place to work for me.
Daniel Bichler's Review Sourced from Google
We have been working with the company for some time and are very satisfied. The collaboration in software development and IT consulting is absolutely professional, reliable and on an equal footing. Our requirements were quickly understood and implemented perfectly.We particularly value the combination of technical know-how and practical advice. Clear recommendation!
Jörg Maier's Review Sourced from Google
Unfortunately, no long-term perspectiveI have as of January 1st. Started a new position at FHC+P after working for a corporation for 9 years. Unfortunately, after just 27 days, I was terminated again for economic reasons.From my personal experience, I recommend finding out more about the economic situation and long-term prospects before applying. Such short-termism can be a major challenge for new employees, especially if they have previously given up a secure job.Positive:✔️ Friendly teamNegative:❌ Very short period of employment❌ Uncertain economic situationI share this experience to help others make an informed decision.

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 |

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.
