Nearshore development is redefining what software outsourcing for B2B businesses looks like. Here’s why companies are turning to FullStack Labs to lead the way.

The demand for AI and software development solutions is at an all-time high. In their 2025 AI report, McKinsey found that 78% of organizations use AI in at least one business function, up from 72% in early 2024 and 55% a year earlier. Gartner, meanwhile, stated that by 2028, the custom software development services market will exceed $283 billion in value, growing at a CAGR of 8.9%.

As more enterprises integrate B2B software solutions, many development companies have eagerly stepped up to meet the demand. At FullStack, our goal is to provide end-to-end development and technology services for whatever project our clients might need, from polished UX design for marketers, to agentic AI systems that can streamline supply chains. To accomplish this, we work with capable US-based and nearshore talent to provide the best possible results for our clients. 

However, with that said, we are far from the only nearshore development business on the market. What sets us apart, then, from all our competitors? Why do leading B2B companies like Benjamin West, GoDaddy,  and Lux Research turn to FullStack Labs for nearshore development? 

What are the Benefits of Nearshore Development?

Represents FullStack Labs’ ability to deliver high-quality software development from cost-effective, time zone-aligned regions like Latin America, ensuring seamless collaboration for B2B companies.

Nearshore development, like offshore development, involves working with service providers out of your home country. For most of our clients, the US is their primary location. However, where offshore outsourcing involves hiring providers in distant countries like India, Vietnam, and the Philippines, nearshore development sees companies working with their regional neighbors in countries like Mexico and Colombia. 

While offshore development tends to be cheaper, FullStack Labs prefers nearshore development for B2B for a number of reasons. 

The key benefits of nearshore development include:

  • Time Zone Alignment: By working with countries that have overlapping time zones and work hours, our team isn’t left waiting hours between responses. The improved communication in nearshore teams helps our team work faster with fewer headaches. 
  • Affordability: While offshore development may cost less between the two, nearshore development is still significantly more affordable than onshore development. For many companies, the cost savings of nearshore development offer the right balance of value and quality.
  • Range of Talent: According to IVEMSA, a Mexican “shelter” for foreign manufacturing companies, “many Mexican universities offer outstanding STEM programs, some of which are ranked higher than major US universities. They produce a deep, highly skilled talent pool—at a lower cost.”

    Brazil and Colombia also have rich talent markets, with Brazil boasting the largest tech talent pool in Latin America (LATAM), and Colombia’s government supporting tech initiatives. By working with both US and nearshore developers, FullStack enjoys access to a wider, highly skilled talent pool.

Why is Nearshore Team Communication Important? 

Nearshore development may make for smoother coordination and communication between a company’s team, but why is that so important?

Clear communication is essential for creating a more productive workplace. A 2012 report by McKinsey found that effective communication improves productivity by 25%. Similarly, a study by leadership consultancy Fierce, Inc. found that 86% of employees cited a lack of collaboration or ineffective communication as the main source of workplace failures. 

In software development, even small miscommunications during a project could result in missed requirements, delays, or costly revisions. While nearshore B2B development doesn't prevent these risks altogether, they do reduce them. 

Many nearshore software development teams have better English proficiency and closer cultural alignment than their offshore counterparts. When combined with shared time zones, these factors make it easier to stay on the same page and quickly respond to feedback. 

If you're building a software team, here are three ways to hire software engineers.

FullStack’s History of B2B Software Development

Every business is unique, with its own systems, workflows, and challenges, and the best software meets those needs head-on. At FullStack Labs, we’ve partnered with companies to build tools that improve day-to-day operations, streamline their slower processes, and support long-term growth.

Here are a few examples of how we’ve helped clients solve their problems through the work of our nearshore development teams. 

Uber

Uber’s employees were constantly bouncing between tools like Confluence, Jira, and Google Drive, leaving the company looking for a more efficient solution. FullStack delivered with uSearch, an internal search tool with convenient features like type-ahead and keyboard shortcuts. uSearch lets employees find what they need in fewer clicks, leading to a 70% reduction in search steps, 15 minutes saved daily per person, and a 50% adoption rate within the first month.

Benjamin West

Benjamin West’s legacy procurement platform was holding them back with an outdated interface and manual processes. They partnered with FullStack Labs to build RPM 2.0– a modern web app that streamlined operations, improved data access, and brought key procurement tools into one unified system. The new platform led to a 300% increase in their user base, a 70% reduction in feature workload, and 50% faster access to decision-making data. 

“FullStack transformed our vision for RPM 2.0 into reality with exceptional expertise and dedication,” said Joe Eikelberner, COO of Benjamin West. “Their deep understanding of Benjamin West's needs coupled with consistent updates made the collaboration seamless and the outcome outstanding.”

Lux Research

The dashboard enables clients to retrieve insights in seconds and schedule expert inquiries instantly. Luxer streamlines research access through AI-powered search and SME-matching—demonstrating how FullStack helps enterprise clients build tailored, high-quality AI systems for knowledge-intensive industries.

Lux Research needed a faster, more intuitive way for clients to access their proprietary research and connect with analysts. FullStack Labs helped develop Luxer, an AI-powered assistant built specifically for that purpose. It delivers cited answers pulled directly from Lux’s internal research library, while also allowing users to independently schedule analyst inquiries with their experts. 

Within two weeks of launch, Luxer processed over 900 queries, tripled the number of inquiries scheduled within a week, and enabled instant booking without back-and-forth emails.

“FullStack acted as true partners and advisors,” said Marisa Kopec, CEO of Lux Research. “The expertise around AI and the level of developers, engineers—whatever role it was that came to the table—was just phenomenal.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Nearshore development is the practice of working with software teams in nearby countries that share similar time zones. For US companies, this often means partnering with developers in Latin America—like Mexico, Colombia, or Brazil. The approach offers a balance of affordability, communication ease, and access to skilled talent, making it especially effective for B2B software projects.

The nearshore strategy is a deliberate approach to outsourcing that emphasizes proximity, time zone alignment, and cultural fit. Unlike offshore models that can cause lag in collaboration, nearshoring enables real-time communication and smoother project handoffs. At FullStack Labs, it means building cross-border teams that feel like seamless extensions of our clients’ in-house operations.

A strong example of nearshore outsourcing is FullStack Labs’ work with Uber. The company partnered with FullStack to build “uSearch,” a custom internal search tool. By using nearshore talent in overlapping time zones, the project achieved faster turnaround, higher adoption, and significant productivity gains—demonstrating the practical benefits of nearshore development for B2B companies.

Nearshore development involves partnering with teams in neighboring or nearby countries that share similar time zones. Offshore development, on the other hand, typically involves outsourcing to distant countries—such as India or the Philippines—often resulting in greater time zone differences. While offshore can offer lower labor costs, nearshore development provides better alignment, faster communication, and fewer delays, especially for B2B software projects that require tight collaboration.

Outsourcing is the general practice of contracting work to external partners, whether domestic or international. Nearshoring is a specific type of outsourcing that focuses on nearby countries with similar time zones and cultural compatibility.
