Same day. Same hours. Not the same bill.
We build custom software from Brazil, at UTC-3. For a team in New York that is a working day that overlaps almost entirely with yours — and for one in Bangalore it is thirty minutes.

A 9–18 working day in each city, intersected with a 9–18 working day in João Pessoa (UTC-3, no daylight saving since 2019).
What that buys you
- A question asked in the morning is answered the same morning, not the next day.
- Code review and deploys happen while you are at your desk to see them.
- Invoicing in your own currency, paid by card — no international transfer to arrange.
- English across calls, documentation, code and commit messages.

Common questions
- What does nearshore actually mean here?
- We are in João Pessoa, Brazil, at UTC-3 with no daylight saving. That puts us one to two hours ahead of New York — the working day overlaps almost entirely. Offshore teams in South or East Asia overlap with the US for well under an hour.
- Which currency do you invoice in?
- Yours, where we support it — USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF, SGD, AED, JPY, MXN and INR among them. Payment is by card through Stripe from a link on the invoice, so there is no international transfer for you to arrange.
- Do you work in English?
- Yes — calls, documentation, code and commit messages. The site you are reading is written in English first; Portuguese and Spanish are translations of it.
- Is nearshore cheaper than hiring locally?
- Usually, but that is the least interesting reason to do it. The reason that matters is that a question asked at 10am gets answered at 10am, not the following day. Offshore rates are lower still — what you pay for that is a full day of latency on every decision.
