Nearshore engineering in a US-friendly time zoneEngineering for what’s nextMeet SGuard

Nearshore software development from Brazil

Custom ERP, legacy modernization and web and mobile apps, built in Brazil with 1–2 hours of time difference from the US East Coast.

Custom ERP and operational systems, legacy modernization, and web and mobile apps. Delivered remotely by a team that works your hours.

Why nearshore
from Brazil.

Brazil sits in UTC-3 and doesn’t observe daylight saving time. That puts our team 1 to 2 hours ahead of New York, 2 to 3 hours ahead of Chicago and 4 to 5 hours ahead of San Francisco, depending on the season. You get real-time collaboration without the overnight handoffs that come with offshore teams.

Time difference from Brasília
Your locationDifference
New York, Toronto (Eastern)1 hour (Mar–Nov), 2 hours (Nov–Mar)
Chicago (Central)2–3 hours
San Francisco, Vancouver (Pacific)4–5 hours
London3–4 hours
Lisbon3–4 hours

Exact overlap depends on daylight saving dates and on the hours you want us online. We’ll agree on the schedule at kickoff.

questions.

Book a discovery call

We reply within 5 business hours, and our workday overlaps with US and European time zones.

Do you work with clients in other time zones?

Yes. Our team is 1 to 2 hours ahead of the US East Coast. We agree on the overlap window at kickoff.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope, which is why we start with a 2-week discovery sprint. At the end you have a scope, an architecture, an estimate and a roadmap with dates. We don’t quote a timeline before we understand the problem.

How does the contract work?

For international clients the contract is in English (a master services agreement plus a statement of work per project). We sign an NDA before the first scoping conversation if you prefer.

Who owns the code?

The code and the project’s intellectual property are yours, assigned in writing in the contract.
