Building Enterprise Growth and Innovation: A 13-Year Nearshore Staffing Success Story

From Prototype to Core Product Team

The project started with AgilityFeat’s internal nearshore development team successfully building a prototype that became one of the central products of the company, later known as a flagship product in its portfolio. Following this success, AgilityFeat became this client’s primary nearshore staff augmentation partner. We’ve recruited up to ninety talented LatAm developers, comprising over half of their technical organization, including key technical leadership positions. Roles span the full software development lifecycle, including frontend, backend and full-stack developers, UI/UX, DevOps, testing, and product management.

Evolving Service Engagements

Our collaboration matured step-by-step:

Building an initial product prototype as a separate “skunk works” innovation group outside the client’s core technical team

Integrating the successful prototype into the client’s main product lines

Building a custom technical team with talent from Latin America to support that project and augment other internal technical groups

Assisting the client’s major customers with integration and unique requirements

Continuing growth and development alongside the client’s expanding business

Key Drivers of Success

The strength of this partnership is rooted in five core areas:

Low Attrition & Happy Teams: Nearshore developers thrive in engaging, well-supported roles on large-scale U.S. projects. Direct collaboration builds trust, while global exposure, advanced tools, and flexible remote work foster long-term satisfaction and retention.

Cost Optimization Across Regions: By providing a mix of talent from across Latin America and beyond, clients benefit from competitive pricing models based on volume and duration without compromising on quality. We even started an internship program on their behalf to foster new and lower cost talent.

Holistic Team Composition: From initial prototype to global-scale deployment, AgilityFeat has delivered not just developers, but also software architects, DevOps, QA, UX, scrum masters, and product owners.

Product Innovation: AgilityFeat has regularly helped the client to explore innovative technologies and new product lines, and then helped roll those successes back into the overall product line. Very few staffing companies would be able to facilitate this unique combination of the flexibility of an outside innovation group, with low cost nearshore pricing, but with the in-house knowledge to smoothly bring that new development back into scalable and enterprise processes. This flexibility proved especially valuable during global market shifts and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Flexible Business Growth: Our collaborative approach, nearshore pricing, and creative staffing solutions have made it viable for the client to adapt to an ever-changing market, while maintaining the importance of high quality software delivery for their enterprise clients.

A Compelling Long-Term Nearshore Staffing Success Story

For over thirteen years, AgilityFeat has helped this leading logistics technology company recruit and retain hundreds of skilled software professionals, becoming a keystone in their staffing strategy.
