Frequently Asked Questions
About IT Nearshoring
What is IT nearshoring and how is it different from offshoring?
IT nearshoring means outsourcing development work to a nearby country with similar timezone and culture. Unlike offshoring to distant locations like India or Vietnam, nearshoring partners in Croatia share the CET timezone with Western Europe, European work culture and EU legal frameworks. This means real-time collaboration, no overnight delays and significantly lower risk of miscommunication.
Why is Croatia a good nearshoring destination?
Croatia has been an EU member since 2013 and joined both the Schengen Area and Eurozone in 2023. It offers excellent technical education, competitive rates significantly below Western European levels, full GDPR compliance and the CET timezone (just 1 hour ahead of London). High English proficiency and a strong Central European work culture make collaboration seamless.
How does communication work on a nearshoring project?
We communicate directly in English — no middlemen, no language barriers, no intermediary project managers adding overhead. You get a dedicated point of contact, regular sprint reviews and access to our project management tools. Being in the CET timezone, we overlap with UK business hours almost entirely and cover US East Coast mornings comfortably.
What cost savings can I expect from nearshoring to Croatia?
Compared to agencies in the UK, US or Western Europe, nearshoring to Croatia typically saves 40-60% on development costs — without compromising on quality. All work is delivered to EU standards, invoiced in EUR, with no hidden fees. We offer both fixed-price and time-and-materials engagement models.
How do you protect my data and intellectual property?
As an EU-based company, we are fully GDPR compliant and subject to all European data protection regulations. We work with NDA agreements as standard and host data on EU servers. Your intellectual property is contractually protected — you receive full rights to all source code and deliverables upon project completion.
