Clear and transparent communication is a hallmark of our engagement with MWDN. From project updates to issue resolution, the open lines of communication fostered a sense of trust and collaboration.

Markus Schedel

VP of Product Development & QA, Valantic

Markus Schedel, VP of Product Development & QA - Valantic

I like MWDN’s work ethic. They try hard to get things done on time and to get to the bottom of every feature set early in the process rather than later in development, which I think is key.

 

We are happy with the work that they do, including the quality of their product, and the code delivered. They are usually able to deliver projects on time, which is something that rarely happens in this industry if you are familiar with it. On every project that we have done with them, clients have always come back and wanted more things, making this a testament to MWDN’s success.

David Barlev

Co-Founder, Goji Labs

The team at MWDN was excellent in terms of project management, communication, and delivery at the end of it. They successfully helped us hire a strong remote R&D team.

They found us good developers very quickly. It’s a real challenge to get good developers in less than a month, but they did it.

 

MWDN very quickly brought us two amazing developers, who worked so well that we hired another. We now have a backend developer, a frontend developer, and a developer that does both. One of our employees is the head of development.

Idan Didi

Frequently asked questions about nearshore software development services

Answers to common questions about nearshore teams, collaboration, costs, and working with MWDN:

What is nearshore software development?

Nearshore software development means working with developers or engineering teams located in nearby or time-zone-compatible markets. It gives companies access to a wider talent pool while keeping enough working-hour overlap for regular communication and collaboration.

The main difference is location and working-hour overlap. Nearshore teams are typically based in closer or more compatible time zones, while offshore teams may work across larger time differences and rely more on asynchronous communication.

Yes. Nearshore specialists can join your current engineering setup, use your tools and workflows, and work alongside internal developers through staff augmentation or a dedicated team model.

Depending on your needs, a team can include frontend and backend developers, mobile engineers, QA, DevOps, cloud specialists, AI and data professionals, designers, and project or delivery roles.

MWDN typically provides the first relevant profiles within around 48 hours. The full hiring timeline depends on the roles, seniority, technology stack, and interview process.

Cost depends on the specialists’ location, role, seniority, technology stack, team size, engagement model, project duration, and required expertise. MWDN prepares a tailored estimate based on your actual team requirements.
