Key Things about Offshoring Ecommerce development
Why big tech offshore Ecommerce development
The appeal behind hiring offshore Ecommerce developers lies in 2 main drivers that propel tech companies forward: huge talent pools and slashed costs. Thus, technology giants tap into million-sized pools with coders of diverse tech stacks. That, in turn, helps them build products faster and scale while reducing costs due to a stark contrast between software engineers’ salaries from the US and other countries. For instance, offshore Ecommerce development helps you save from 30% to 70%: just choose to hire coders in LatAm or EE over the US.
Top countries to offshore Ecommerce development
Latin American and Eastern European markets are treasure troves for building an offshore Ecommerce development team. Both pools amount to 3.5 million devs—2 from LatAm and 1.5 from EE, respectively—who demonstrate impressive Ecommerce programming skills. Some countries in these regions rank among the top 30 countries with high levels of English proficiency.
The prime locations where we at Alcor hire dedicated offshore Ecommerce developers include Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Ukraine. The respective tech markets show consistent growth and demonstrate a shared work ethic and cultural proximity.
What is an offshore Ecommerce development center?
An offshore Ecommerce development center is your dedicated remote office with a team of software engineers. Usually, tech product companies establish such centers in a foreign location with an abundance of talent and lower labor costs. Imagine it as an extended piece of your in-house puzzle: a reliable provider helps you with an office space, procures tech equipment, and provides benefits for your team. All this possible without setting up your legal entity abroad, just as we did for Ledger, Grammarly, ThredUp, and others.
Comparison with alternatives
In comparison with IT outsourcing, where you have an outsourced project via a third party with no direct control over the team, your own software R&D center allows you to fill the expertise gap, scale fast in a chosen location, and have the whole software team work on your behalf from the start without any buy-out fees.
Your Own Offshore Ecommerce Team is Better than Third-party
Alcor is an all-in-one place to establish and run a turnkey software R&D center:
- Employer of Record support — no need to set up your legal entity
- From 0 to 100 software developers in one key talent pool
- Establish your corporate culture with your own team. No intermediary
- No buy-out or other hidden fees
Offshore Software Development vs Own R&D Center
Offshoring software development
- Cloudy pricing With outsourcers, the markup for your vendor’s service might exceed a Ecommerce developer’s salary by 50%.
- Temporary fix Offshore development teams are loyal as long as the contract lasts and won’t go the extra mile to ensure your product’s long-term success.
- Your provider comes first An external Ecommerce development team will report only to your vendor, treating you as the “secondary” employer.
- IP rights transfer complexities When you engage a offshore development service company, the IP rights of your product initially belong to the outsourcing team. So think ahead about the safe transferring of them to you later.
- Barrier to investment attraction Engaging with a offshore development partner means that you delegate your core competencies to developers who will leave your team for good. Not exactly the investor’s dream.
Software Development Center
- Maximized cost savings Your own software R&D team costs 40% less than an outsourced team. Because you get no buy-out fees & markups.
- Long-term commitment Product development and a sense of ownership attract professional developers as bees to honey. Hence, more loyalty.
- Direct control over development You get your team of offshore Ecommerce developers for ideation, innovation, and growth—without intermediaries.
- Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique engineering expertise in-house.
- Easy investment attraction After establishing your own R&D center, you will boost your internal software development capabilities and become more attractive to investors.
Companies Scaling with Alcor
Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!
With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.
We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.
We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.
Alcor’s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.
I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.
Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.
