What we do

End-to-end custom software development, delivered by dedicated offshore engineering teams.

Outsource Tel builds dedicated software development teams for SaaS, fintech, healthtech and enterprise platforms. Every engineer is hand-picked against your bar, embedded in your repository, and accountable to your roadmap — not a vendor backlog. The result is a captive engineering capability that operates exactly like a team you hired yourself, at a structurally lower run rate.

We cover the full application development lifecycle: discovery and architecture, product engineering, platform and infrastructure, data and analytics, QA automation, mobile, and post-launch reliability. Whether you need to accelerate roadmap delivery, modernise a legacy monolith, stand up a new product line, or scale platform engineering without ballooning headcount, we assemble the right pod and have you shipping inside nine weeks.

Engagements are governed by transparent SLAs, weekly velocity and quality reporting, and our 91% annual retention rate — so the engineers you onboard today are the ones still shipping for you two years from now.

FAQs

Answers to what buyers actually ask.

Procurement, engineering and finance leaders raise the same questions before signing. Here are ours, answered up front.

How quickly can a dedicated development team start shipping code?
+

Most engagements move from signed SOW to first production pull request inside 9 weeks. That includes role scoping, candidate panels, environment access, onboarding and the first sprint cycle.

How do you guarantee senior engineering talent?
+

Every candidate passes a structured technical panel against your bar — your engineering leaders make the final hire/no-hire decision. We never bait-and-switch with juniors after onboarding.

Who owns the IP and the source code?
+

You do, exclusively. All work-product, repositories, designs and documentation are yours from commit one, with worldwide assignment in every contract.

Can the team work in our timezone?
+

Yes. We staff with deliberate timezone overlap — typically 4–6 hours of live overlap per day with US, UK and EU teams — to support standups, pair programming and on-call.

How is this different from staff augmentation?
+

Staff aug rents you bodies. Our captive model gives you a dedicated, retained team that owns outcomes, accumulates context, and operates inside your governance — at offshore economics.

What does it cost to hire an offshore software developer?
+

Pricing is per-role, fully loaded (recruiting, payroll, benefits, equipment, ops). We share a fixed monthly rate per seat after a 60-minute scoping call — typically 40–60% below equivalent onshore TCO.
