AMDS Software
Add engineers to your team every month, or hand us a project to deliver end to end. Working hours that overlap with your team, without the months of recruiting.
Why nearshore
Every open engineering role is work that isn't shipping. Local recruitment can take months, and offshore can look cheaper until time zones and handovers start costing you days. Nearshore sits between the two: engineers close to your working day, without the wait of a local hire.
| Compare | Local hire | Offshore | AMDS nearshore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Recruitment can take months | Depends on the vendor | Agreed on the discovery call |
| Working hours | Same as yours | Little or no overlap | Same as the UK, 1 hour from Central Europe |
| Communication | Direct | Often through handovers | Direct, in English or Portuguese |
| Commitment | Permanent contract | Depends on the vendor | Monthly, or per project |

What to expect
FAQ
Working with engineers in a nearby country and a similar time zone. For most of Europe, Portugal means little or no difference in working hours.
If you have a team and need more capacity, choose dedicated engineering. If you need a defined outcome and don't want to manage the work day to day, choose project delivery.
It depends on the stack and the roles you need. We give you a realistic date after the discovery call, before you commit to anything.
Dedicated engineering is a monthly fee based on the engineers you need. Projects are quoted after scoping. Tell us what you need and we'll send a proposal.
