Nearshore software development in Europe
For companies in the UK and Europe, CML Team is a nearshore software development partner. Our senior engineers work from Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Portugal, Ireland, Germany and Spain. That puts them on UK time or one to two hours ahead. They build web platforms, MVPs, CRMs and AI products in Node.js, Python, Java and React, as your dedicated team or as a project we run.

Where our engineers work
Our senior engineers work from seven countries. They change their clocks on the same dates as the UK, so the difference from London stays the same all year.
| Country | Time zone | Difference from London | Difference from New York |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ireland | UTC+0, UTC+1 in summer | Same time | 5 hours ahead |
| Portugal | UTC+0, UTC+1 in summer | Same time | 5 hours ahead |
| Poland | UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer | 1 hour ahead | 6 hours ahead |
| Germany | UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer | 1 hour ahead | 6 hours ahead |
| Spain | UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer | 1 hour ahead | 6 hours ahead |
| Lithuania | UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer | 2 hours ahead | 7 hours ahead |
| Ukraine | UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer | 2 hours ahead | 7 hours ahead |
The US moves its clocks two or three weeks earlier in spring and one week later in autumn, so for those weeks New York is one hour closer.
How the working day lines up
With the UK and Europe
Our working hours overlap fully with Europe. When it is 9:30 in London, it is 9:30 in Ireland and Portugal, 10:30 in Poland, Germany and Spain, and 11:30 in Lithuania and Ukraine, so a morning stand-up works for both teams.
With the United States
With the US, the overlap depends on the state your team is in. When it is 9:00 in New York, it is 14:00 in Ireland and Portugal, 15:00 in Poland, Germany and Spain, and 16:00 in Lithuania and Ukraine. Tell us where your team works, and we will show you how the hours line up.

Questions about nearshore development
What is nearshore software development?
Nearshore software development means working with engineers in a nearby country whose working day overlaps with yours, rather than hiring locally or going to a team many time zones away. For a company in the UK or Europe our engineers are nearshore: they are on the same time or one to two hours ahead.
What is the difference between nearshore and offshore development?
Offshore usually means a team far away, often half a working day apart, so many questions wait until the next day. Nearshore means a nearby country with a shared working day, so calls, code reviews and planning happen live. The engineering work itself is the same.
Which countries do your engineers work from?
Our senior engineers work from Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Portugal, Ireland, Germany and Spain. The company, CML Team Limited, is registered in England and Wales.
Is a team in Europe nearshore for US companies?
For US companies, nearshore usually means Latin America. With our team, the overlap depends on the state your team is in, and an East Coast morning is the afternoon in Europe. Tell us where your team works, and we will show you how the hours line up.
Can your engineers join our in-house team?
Yes. In a dedicated team our engineers join your team and report to your project manager or tech lead. If you would rather hand over the whole project, our own project manager runs it in project-based development.
How do you bill?
By the hour, or at a fixed price for a project. The estimate for project work is free, and we sign an NDA with you.
Who owns the code?
You do. Rights to the code pass to you after payment.
Can we start with something small?
Yes. You can start with consultations before you commit to a team or a project.
