Human Teams
Dutch quality, Indian scale advantages
Good software development is more than finding developers. It's about collaboration, communication, and ensuring that what is being built truly aligns with your intentions. Many organizations working with offshore teams know how things can go wrong: miscommunication, misunderstood requirements, code that is technically correct but misses the goal. Human Teams is the answer to that problem.
One team, two continents, no compromise
At Human Teams, you put together a permanent, integrated development team in which the roles that determine communication, direction, and quality are in Dutch hands. The Scrum Master oversees the process. The Tech Lead oversees the technical direction. The Architect oversees the structure. The UI/UX Designer oversees the user experience. They work daily with a team of Indian developer who handle the actual development.
You get the quality assurance and communication reliability of a Dutch team, at a cost structure that an all-Dutch team simply cannot offer.
01
Dutch seniors in key positions
The roles that have the most influence on the end result are filled by Dutch seniors. They know the context, speak the language of your organization, and ensure that nothing gets lost in translation.
02
Indian developers, good quality
Smartshore has been working with dedicated development teams in India for years. No anonymous freelancers—just trusted colleagues who are familiar with our work processes, understand our quality standards, and are an integral part of the Smartshore culture.
03
A consistent team, no new faces
You’ll always be working with the same people. That means the team will get to know your product, your codebase, and your organization inside and out. Less onboarding time, less explaining, and a faster pace.
04
Lower costs, no lower standards
The model is cost-effective because it is thoughtfully designed, not because it compromises on quality. You pay what the value is worth, and for the rest, you benefit from the international cost difference.
Who is this for?
For organizations that are serious about further developing a digital product but do not want, or cannot afford, a fully Dutch development team. For companies that have had bad experiences with purely offshore work and are now looking for a model that actually works. And for anyone who wants a reliable, long-term partner that truly feels like part of the organization.
