Nearshore Tech Teams, Delivered as a Service

SODA Boost is our Team as a Service and Statement of Work solution. Access vetted nearshore engineers across Eastern Europe, Iberia and Latin America for up to 60% less than local hiring, without the overhead of permanent headcount.

Scale Your Tech Team Faster, for a Fraction of the Cost

Hiring in high-demand markets is expensive, slow and hard to sustain. SODA Boost gives you a seamless pathway to nearshore talent.

Companies face mounting pressure to scale their teams quickly while controlling costs and maintaining quality. We connect businesses like yours with skilled technology professionals in cost-effective regions, providing the same calibre of expertise you expect at a fraction of the cost. Whether you need one specialist or a fully managed nearshore team, you get overlapping time zones, cultural alignment and minimal barriers to communication.

Our approach is built to integrate with your existing operations. Choose Team as a Service for a dedicated nearshore team that works as an extension of your own, or a Statement of Work for outcome-based delivery against agreed milestones. Either way, SODA Boost handles sourcing, compliance, onboarding and offboarding, so you can drive growth, reduce costs and deliver results faster.
