Nearshoring
Nearshoring with a partner or your own hub? We help you choose and support delivery, from preparation to day-to-day operations.
What it is about
We help you decide whether a nearshore partner or your own hub better fits your goals. We support both approaches from preparation through to operational delivery. Clear requirements and responsibilities provide a foundation for reliable collaboration.

Lupus & Company hat uns im Zuge unserer Nearshoring-Strategie eng begleitet und beraten. Dank der fundierten und praxisnahen Erfahrung der eingesetzten Berater konnten wir verschiedene IT-Services erfolgreich ins Nearshoring überführen. Lupus & Company half uns sowohl dabei, die richtigen Shoring-Modelle zu wählen, als auch bei deren Vergabe und Implementierung in unsere Organisation und deren Prozesse. Ich danke dem Team von Lupus & Company für die sehr positive und kompetente Zusammenarbeit.
Typical situations
You want to build international capacity and choose the right model. We compare working with a partner and setting up your own hub against your goals, internal capabilities and requirements for governance and responsibility.
More teams or services need to be added. Together, we examine which structures need to grow and how to coordinate knowledge, priorities and responsibility across teams.
Coordination takes too much time or results fall short of expectations. We examine the interfaces between business, product, internal IT and the partner or hub team and work with you to address the causes.
Our contribution
Together, we assess whether you should work with a nearshore partner or build your own hub. We consider costs, required skills, governance options and the conditions within your organization. We compare suitable locations and prepare delivery of the chosen model.
If you choose your own hub, we support the setup from start to finish: from the target vision and location decision through organizational design and team building to operational launch and stabilization. For a partner model, we support selection, onboarding and integration.
For day-to-day collaboration, we clarify product ownership, requirements, priorities and communication channels. Shared ways of working, knowledge transfer, and quality and security requirements are considered from the outset. This helps partner teams or your own hub become an effective part of your organization.
How we work
We review your goals, tasks and internal capabilities. Together, we assess whether nearshoring makes sense and whether a partner or your own hub better fits your business and organizational requirements.
Depending on the model, we support partner selection and onboarding or the setup of your own hub. We clarify roles, team structures and ways of working and support preparation through to operational launch.
We support operational collaboration and the stabilization of operations. On that basis, we develop the chosen model further with you and assess which additional teams or services can usefully be integrated.
What you take away
Whether you use a partner model or your own hub, international teams should complement your capabilities while you retain responsibility for the product and its outcomes. This requires clear interfaces, understandable requirements and a shared view of priorities, quality and progress.
A realistic assessment therefore goes beyond daily rates. Transition, internal governance, knowledge transfer and risks also affect the value. We help make these factors transparent and adapt the model to your actual needs.

When international teams can complement the capabilities and capacity you need, and your organization can support the collaboration. We review the work, internal governance, knowledge transfer and economic requirements with you before you choose a model.
That depends on your long-term needs, required capabilities and the responsibilities you want to retain. We compare both models, including setup effort, costs and governance. For an own hub, we support preparation, operational launch and stabilization.
Selection, setup, transition, onboarding, internal governance and knowledge transfer also require resources. An own hub adds location and organizational responsibilities. We help make assumptions transparent and assess models on a comparable basis.
