Offshore Software Development in the USA
Custom software, SaaS products and internal tools built by a senior Lahore team, with code in your repository and calls in your workday.

Offshore software development USA companies can trust comes down to three things: senior engineers who understand the business problem, daily overlap with your team, and code, cloud accounts and IP that belong to you from the first commit. We build custom software, SaaS products and integrations from Lahore, priced by scope or monthly sprint in USD.
Key takeaways
- Three engagement models: fixed-scope project, monthly sprint retainer, or a dedicated developer embedded in your team.
- Your GitHub or GitLab organisation, your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account, your domain. We work inside them as invited users.
- Lahore evenings overlap US mornings; a 2 to 4 hour daily window is realistic for Eastern and Central teams.
- IP assignment and NDA in the contract; HIPAA-scoped work only with a signed business associate agreement.
Why US businesses choose offshore software development in Pakistan
US buyers rarely pick an offshore partner only on hourly rate. The deciding questions are usually: will these people understand what we are building, will they be awake when something breaks, and will we own what we paid for? We built our model around those three answers.
Pakistan's software export sector has grown steadily, with IT exports reaching a record of about $4.6 billion in FY2025-26 according to SBP data. Lahore is one of the main hubs. Our own work spans WordPress plugins, CRMs, booking platforms and data dashboards, led by founder Junaid Tariq, who has 18+ years in custom software and digital marketing.
- Product thinking, not ticket-taking. We question requirements that will hurt adoption or cost more to maintain.
- Senior review on every pull request. No unsupervised juniors pushing to your main branch.
- Marketing-aware builds. Analytics events, conversion tracking and SEO-safe front ends are part of the job, because we also run digital marketing campaigns.
- Plain English documentation. README files, API docs and a decision log you can hand to the next team.

US industries and case studies
| Sector | Common builds |
|---|---|
| Healthcare and dental groups | Patient intake, case review workflows, referral tracking |
| Logistics and freight | Load boards, carrier portals, quote calculators |
| Real estate and property management | Lead CRMs, listing portals, tenant and owner dashboards |
| Professional services | Client portals, document workflows, time and billing tools |
| Ecommerce and DTC brands | Order management, wholesale portals, inventory sync |
| Agencies (white-label) | Client reporting dashboards and custom plugins under your brand |
Projects for Pakistani clients, such as our real estate CRM work, give us domain patterns that transfer well to US property and brokerage firms. Storefront-side work, such as the ecommerce websites that feed order systems, is handled by our web development team under the same project lead.
Pricing for US businesses
You can buy offshore software development from us in three ways, each quoted in USD:
| Model | When it fits | How it is billed | Our rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-scope project | Clear requirements, MVP or defined module | Milestones against a written spec | [Add your USD price] |
| Sprint retainer | Evolving product, ongoing roadmap | Monthly fee for a set team capacity | [Add your USD price] |
| Dedicated developer | You have a product manager and want extra hands | Monthly per developer, full-time | [Add your USD price] |
Pakistani rates are lower than US salaries mainly because of living and office costs. Our software development cost guide for Pakistan lists published local price ranges and what drives them, and our Lahore software house page explains how the same team works with local clients.
- Billed to you directly: cloud hosting, third-party APIs, app store fees and paid libraries.
- After launch: an optional maintenance retainer for updates, security patches and small features, scoped separately from the build.
- Change requests: estimated in writing before work starts, never added silently to an invoice.
Our process
- Discovery (1-2 weeks)
Workshops with your stakeholders, user stories, data model sketch and a prioritised backlog.
- Architecture and estimate
Stack choice, hosting plan, security approach and a milestone estimate you sign off.
- Two-week sprints
Planning at the start, a demo at the end, deployed to a staging environment you can test.
- QA and security checks
Automated tests on critical paths, manual testing, dependency scanning and role-permission reviews.
- Launch and handover
Production deployment, monitoring, runbooks and a recorded walkthrough for your team.
How we work with US clients: time zones, currency, contracts
Lahore is on PKT (UTC+5) with no daylight saving. During US daylight time, 9 a.m. to noon Eastern equals 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Lahore; in winter it is an hour later. Our developers shift their day to cover that window, so standups and urgent fixes happen in your morning. Pacific teams usually get a short overlap at the start of their day plus asynchronous handoffs.
- Communication: Slack or Teams channel, daily written standup, weekly demo, Jira or Linear board you can see.
- Code ownership: repositories live in your organisation from day one. Our FAQ on who owns the source code explains the clauses we use.
- Contracts: master services agreement, statement of work, NDA and IP assignment. Have your own counsel review them; we are not giving legal advice.
- Health data: if the system will touch protected health information under HIPAA, we work only under a signed business associate agreement and agree safeguards in writing.
- Security basics: least-privilege access, MFA on every account, no production data on personal laptops, and access removed on handover.
- Invoicing: USD invoices by milestone or monthly, paid by international wire or an agreed platform such as Payoneer.
Pakistan's Pakistan Software Export Board maintains a register of software export companies. Checking a vendor there, alongside references and a paid pilot sprint, is a sensible step before any long engagement. Our company background and the contact page list how to reach us directly.

Frequently asked questions
How much does software development cost in the USA?
Cost depends on scope, integrations, security needs and how much is unknown at the start. A focused MVP, an internal dashboard and a regulated healthcare platform sit in very different ranges. We give a written USD estimate after discovery, with milestones, so you can compare it fairly against US firms and other offshore vendors. Cloud and API fees are billed to you directly.
Do you work with US businesses remotely?
Yes, all US engagements are remote from our Lahore office. We join your Slack or Teams, attend standups in your morning, push code to your repositories and deploy to your cloud accounts. You get a named project lead and engineering lead, a visible task board and a demo at the end of every two-week sprint.
How soon will I see results?
You see working software at the first sprint demo, normally two to four weeks after discovery ends. As a rough planning range, a focused MVP takes about three to five months and larger platforms longer, depending on integrations and how fast decisions are made. We release in stages, so useful features reach users before the full scope is done.
Which industries do you work with?
We build for healthcare and dental groups, logistics and freight, real estate, professional services, ecommerce brands and marketing agencies that need white-label tools. Our background in CRMs, lead tracking and marketing analytics means we are strongest on software that sits close to sales, operations and customer data.
