Your engineering team in Mexico, in your same time zone
Nearshore from Monterrey with a US legal entity (iTech Dev Corp, Laredo, TX). Same timezone as Texas, Chicago and Dallas (CST), professional English, compatible culture and operating under the USMCA framework. Teams that collaborate on your schedule — no offshore overnight handoffs.
The offshore they promised — and it didn't work
12-hour gaps that kill productivity
Teams in India or Eastern Europe with 8-12 hour gaps: every question costs a day. You sleep while they work, and vice versa. México operates in CST — the same timezone as Texas, Chicago and Dallas — so they collaborate live, on your schedule, without waiting until tomorrow.
The language barrier slows everything down
Ambiguous documentation, standups nobody understands, requirements lost in translation. Our team works in professional English: standups, code reviews, documentation and direct communication with your stakeholders, with no middleman distorting the message.
Inconsistent quality and a "black box"
The offshore vendor delivers in opaque blocks; by the time you see the code it's too late to fix. We work with documented processes, functional demos every 2 weeks and staging you can review — you see real progress, not promises.
Constant rotation and zero ownership
The developer who knew your system quit and nobody documented anything. Every release restarts the learning curve. Our teams are dedicated and stable, backed by a company established since 2018 with team backup so knowledge doesn't leave with one person.
Legal risk with a foreign vendor
Hiring offshore means contracts under distant jurisdictions, complex international payments and questions about code ownership. iTech Dev Corp is a legal entity in Laredo, Texas: you contract and invoice in the US, in USD, under frameworks your legal team already knows.
Intellectual property without clear protection
Code on someone else's servers, no enforceable NDA, no IP clause. We work with a standard NDA, an IP ownership clause (the code is 100% yours from the first commit) and operate under the USMCA framework between México and the US.
Why nearshore with iTech Dev
Not offshore in disguise: a team in your timezone, with a US entity and verifiable processes. Facts, not promises.
Same timezone (CST)
Monterrey runs on Central time — the same as Texas, Chicago and Dallas. Live standups, same-day answers, no offshore overnight handoffs.
Legal entity in Texas
iTech Dev Corp is incorporated in Laredo, TX. Contracts and billing in the US, in USD, with a vendor your legal and procurement teams understand.
USMCA framework
We operate under the México-US-Canada agreement: a solid commercial framework for cross-border software services, without the uncertainty of distant offshore.
Professional English
Standups, documentation, code reviews and stakeholder communication in English. No middlemen distorting requirements.
Documented processes
Requirements management, planning, control and quality assurance under documented, auditable processes — the rigor cheap offshore lacks.
Compatible business culture
We share practices, tools and ways of working with US companies. Geographic proximity allows on-site visits in key phases.
Verifiable track record
Since 2018, 200+ projects delivered and 5.0★ on Clutch. Clients in México and the US, including Fortune 500 organizations like Mohawk Industries; our first US client, PowerDrive, was a turnkey project verified on Clutch.
Code 100% yours
Client-owned from the first commit, repos and access in your name. No vendor lock-in: if you switch providers tomorrow, you take everything.
Engagement models
Choose how you want to work with us. All three operate in CST, bill in USD via iTech Dev Corp and adapt to your operations.
Dedicated team
A multidisciplinary team of 2 to 20 engineers working exclusively on your product, integrated into your tools, processes and culture. You drive the roadmap; we bring the engineering, the PM and quality assurance.
Staff augmentation
Add specific senior profiles to your existing team when you need them: a React dev, an SAP consultant, a QA or a DevOps. They report to your management, join your ceremonies, and you scale up or down per project.
Turnkey project
You make us accountable for the full result: discovery, architecture, development, QA and go-live, with a defined budget and deliverables. Ideal when you want to delegate execution and focus on your business.
A pool of senior engineering ready to join your team, backed by an established company — not freelancers who vanish.
Real, named project
PowerDrive was our first client in the United States, on a turnkey project: we owned the full result. We built their fuel-price optimization platform for transport fleets —custom software in .NET and Node on Azure— integrating WEX fuel cards and a gas-cost solver into a single flow. The team worked in your same timezone and in English, with a 5.0★ verified on Clutch by PowerDrive’s COO.
Start wherever you want — ascending commitment
Four rungs of increasing risk and price. You lower the risk: prove the value before the big project, with no surprises.
Fit Call
30 min, consultative. We understand the technical need, timeline and the model that fits. Honest output: what works for you and what does not.
Blueprint
Closed scope in writing, architecture, stack and a fixed budget in 1-2 weeks. Yours even if you build with someone else; if you move forward, it credits to the project.
Pilot
A scoped MVP or PoC, demoable in 2-4 weeks. You see a real result —not a promise— before committing to the big engagement.
Engagement
The full project or team, via one of the three models: dedicated team, staff augmentation or turnkey.
How we start (in 5 steps)
From first contact to first sprint in roughly a week. No mandatory long-term contracts.
Discovery call
We understand your technical needs, timeline and the engagement model that fits best. 30 minutes, no commitment.
Proposal and team
We present a formal proposal with selected profiles, USD rates and timeline. For staff augmentation, candidates with CV and technical assessment results.
Structured onboarding
The team integrates into your tools, repos, processes and ceremonies. Access, signed NDA and a defined first sprint before any code is written.
Execution and delivery
2-week sprints with functional demos, retros and continuous improvement. CI/CD from day 1, mandatory code reviews and staging you can review.
Flexible scaling
We add or reduce profiles based on your needs, with periodic reports and reviews. Immediate escalation if something isn't working, with no lock-in.
What you get working nearshore with us
US-based contract and invoice
Operations under iTech Dev Corp (Laredo, TX): contracts in US jurisdiction and billing in USD, without the friction of international payments to offshore.
Code 100% your property
Repos, access and deliverables in your name from the first commit. IP ownership clause and operation under USMCA. No vendor lock-in.
NDA and IP protection
Standard NDA signed before onboarding and clear intellectual property clauses, enforceable under frameworks your legal team already knows.
Communication on your schedule
Standups, demos and availability in CST — the same timezone as your US operation. Same-day answers, not next-day.
Reports and visibility
Periodic progress reports, direct access to the team and PM, and reviews to keep control over the external resource.
QA with the ARIA platform
Quality assurance supported by our internal ARIA platform: functional, load, security and regression testing.
Backup and continuity
Stable teams backed by a company: if a profile isn't the right fit or rotates, we handle the change at no recruiting cost and without losing project knowledge.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your question? Talk to an engineer — no sales script.
Contact us →Do you have a legal entity in the United States?
Yes. iTech Dev Corp is incorporated in Laredo, Texas. You can contract and invoice in the US, in USD, under legal frameworks your procurement and legal teams already know, while the engineering runs from Monterrey in the same timezone.
What real advantage does nearshore have over offshore?
Three concrete things: timezone (we operate in CST, the same as Texas, Chicago and Dallas, so we collaborate live without overnight handoffs), language (professional English in standups, documentation and meetings) and cultural and geographic proximity (compatible business practices and the ability to make on-site visits). All under the USMCA framework and with a legal entity in Texas.
Why does it cost less than hiring onshore in the US?
Because of the structural difference in labor and operating costs between México and the United States, not by sacrificing quality or seniority. You get senior engineers with documented processes, operating under USMCA, at a lower total cost than an equivalent onshore team. The exact figure depends on the profiles, team size and duration; we define it in a formal proposal.
Does the team speak English?
Yes, we work in professional English: standups, code reviews, documentation and direct communication with your stakeholders. We don't use language-certification labels, but rather fluent, professional technical communication proven on projects with US clients.
What intellectual property protection do you offer?
A standard NDA signed before onboarding, an IP ownership clause (the code is 100% the client's from the first commit) and operation under the USMCA framework between México and the US. Repos, access and documentation are in your name, with no vendor lock-in.
What engagement models do you offer?
Three: dedicated team (2-20 engineers exclusive to your product), staff augmentation (add senior profiles to your existing team, with pre-vetted profiles presented quickly and, if a profile isn't the right fit, we handle the change at no recruiting cost) and turnkey project (you make us accountable for the result, with a defined budget and deliverables). All three operate in CST and bill in USD via iTech Dev Corp.
How quickly does the team start?
After the discovery call, we present a proposal and pre-vetted profiles quickly. With structured onboarding, the first sprint usually starts in roughly a week. We don't require mandatory long-term contracts: you scale up or down per project.
