Development on Demand

We believe there’s a better way to do outsourced software development. We call it Development on Demand – it’s based on three core promises: transparent pricing, short-term flexible contracts, and time zone affinity.

Transparent, up-front pricing

One transparent, predictable price.

Predictable pricing that means you can dial up, or dial down, the development heat as you need.

  • No oversized, over-scoped projects
  • No hidden costs
  • One affordable, predictable price

Short-term contracting

World-class engineering talent delivered in short-burst one week sprints.

Go from stuck to scaled one week, or one month at a time.

  • No long-term contracts
  • No overhead
  • Expert advice
  • Guaranteed throughput

Time Zone Affinity

Grown in South America, and operating across the US, LATAM and EU, SOUTHWORKS nearshore developer teams give you the time zone affinity to keep you always in the know.

  • No distant time-zones
  • No babysitting the project
  • Bulletproof process
  • Ideally located teams

Transparent, up-front pricing

One, transparent price, charged per team, per week.

Predictable pricing that means you can dial up , or dial down, the development heat as you need.

  • No oversized, over-scoped projects
  • No hidden costs
  • One affordable, predictable pricing

Weekly contracting

World-class engineering talent in short-burst one week sprints delivered.

Go from stuck to scaled one week at a time.

  • No long-term contracts
  • No overhead
  • Expert advice

Senior Director of Innovation, Life Time

“SOUTHWORKS took the time to really understand what we wanted to do. They asked a lot of questions, and, born from their previous experience, were able to quickly pull out what our requirements were... Many of our competitors have struggled in the past 12 months. Life Time has been able to retain a greater share of our members — even when clubs were closed — thanks to this alternative content channel”.

“They did a really fantastic job of understanding our needs and being responsive to fixing technical issues. Everyone was connected and had a pulse on the project’s progress... [they] went above and beyond on certain features that really show they understand the space we’re in, adding in little features to make it a better user experience and just going that extra step to make it a more polished product”.

Also, we made an important step towards an optimal DevOps culture and its subsequential benefits".

Alberto Laudadio

Head of Data Management, CODELCO

We appreciate their contributions and highly recommend their services to optimize data operations”.

Henry O’Connell

CEO, Canary Speech

“Because of the work and efforts of SOUTHWORKS, we were able to make our product commercially available to the network of customers that Microsoft has within the Microsoft Teams for Healthcare platform. SOUTHWORKS made this commercial ready. So not only did we have a solution, we had one that allowed customers to access, utilize and then reward Canary Speech appropriately for the services we were providing”.

Henry O’Connell

“SOUTHWORKS executed effectively against
the plan and schedule that we had. They met that flawlessly. They communicated with our scientists, engineers and c-suite. Their response has been as if they were working within our own facilities”.
