Real time zone overlap
Montreal is on Eastern Time, so your full working day overlaps with ours. Questions get answered the same day and reviews happen while the context is fresh.
011Nearshore Software Development
Nearshore software development with senior engineers in your time zone
Webisoft is a Montreal software company that works as a nearshore partner for product and engineering teams. Our engineers are on Eastern Time, join your standups, work in your repositories and ship on your schedule. This is for companies that want more senior capacity without the lag, handoffs and rework that come with distant offshore teams.

What you get
What nearshore with Webisoft looks like
Nearshore only works when the team feels like part of yours. Everything below is built around that.
Senior engineers, not a bench
You work with experienced engineers who can make design decisions, not juniors who need a lead to translate every ticket.
Inside your team and tools
Our engineers join your Slack or Teams, your standups and your Git workflow. No separate process, no weekly status reports to decode.
A full team when you need it
Engineering, QA, DevOps, design and product leadership can be added as one team that owns a product line end to end.
Security and compliance in place
Webisoft is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, so access control, audit and data handling are already part of how we work.
Contracts that protect your IP
You own the code and the work product. We sign your NDA and work in accounts you control.
Proof
Teams that have kept us for years
Two engagements where our engineers work as part of the client's own organization. Client names stay private; the work is real.

How we work
From first call to a working team
(4)- 1
Define the work and the fit
We look at your roadmap, your stack and how your team works today, then propose the team shape: individual engineers or a team that owns a product line.
- 2
Meet the engineers
You interview the people who will do the work before they start. No surprises after the contract is signed.
- 3
Onboard into your process
Access, tooling and first tickets in the first week. The team ships into your workflow from the start, with a senior lead keeping quality consistent.
- 4
Scale up or down
Add engineers as the roadmap grows or reduce the team when a phase ends, with notice periods that make sense for both sides.

FAQ
Nearshore software development questions
(6)Nearshore means your partner is close to you in time zone and working culture, not across the world. Montreal is on Eastern Time, so teams across North America share most or all of the working day with us.
Offshore teams are often many hours away, so work moves in overnight handoffs and small questions can cost a full day. A nearshore team works while you work, which keeps feedback loops short and reduces rework.
Yes, if that is what you need. Most nearshore clients have our engineers in their own tools, standups and code review. Others prefer a team that owns a product line and reports on outcomes.
It depends on seniority and team size. Senior North American engineers cost more per hour than offshore rates, and most clients find the total cost lower once rework and coordination time are counted. Our software developer rates guide compares rates by region.
You do. Code, documentation and infrastructure live in accounts you control, under your NDA and contract terms.
Yes. We work with companies across North America and beyond. Montreal gives you Eastern Time overlap and a team that works in English and French.
