Metova surpasses staff augmentation. Tell us your concept and we scope it, design it, build it, QA it, and launch it, backed by 20+ years delivering production software.

NEARSHORE COST SAVINGS
Senior nearshore engineering, 40-60% below equivalent US rates.
A nearshore build costs a fraction of a completely in-house team, without trading away oversight. Our hybrid-approach delivery teams manage the scope and roadmap, oversee production, and ensure quality assurance.

What buyers ask before they call.
Do you only provide staff augmentation, or can you build the whole product?
Both. Tell us your concept and we'll scope, build, QA, and launch it end-to-end, or embed senior engineers directly into your existing team. Either path is owned by our US-based leads from day one.
How is nearshore development different from offshore outsourcing?
Distance and hours. An offshore team 10–12 hours away answers your question tomorrow; a nearshore team in Mexico is 0–2 hours from you, so questions get answered on the same working day.
What does a senior nearshore engineer cost?
It depends on seniority and stack, but expect meaningfully less than an equivalent US hire. Typical nearshore savings run 40-60%+ vs. US rates. We send a scoped estimate in less than 3 business days of the first call, with the rate broken out.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do, from the first commitment. Work is done in your repositories under your licensing, and IP assignment is part of the agreement before anyone writes a line.
How fast can a nearshore team start?
First candidate profiles are usually with you inside 5 business days, interviews the week after, and a team embedded and committing in weeks 2 to 3.
What if it isn't working out?
Engagements are month to month after an initial ramp period. If someone is not the right fit we replace them, and if the engagement is not right you can wind it down without a long tail of contract.
