Offshore software development services are engineering delivered by a vendor team in another country under one contract, instead of hiring the same roles locally. Codazz runs them from Edmonton (client-facing) and Chandigarh (100+ engineers): full-stack development, QA, DevOps, 4-5 hour North American overlap, SOC 2 Type II certification, and 60-70% lower cost than US in-house hiring.
Two strategically located offices designed for seamless collaboration. North American leadership with world-class Indian engineering talent.
Our headquarters in Edmonton, Alberta handles client relationships, project strategy, and account management for North American clients. Direct access to your leadership team in your time zone for seamless communication and strategic alignment.
Our engineering hub in Chandigarh houses 100+ developers, QA engineers, and DevOps specialists. The city is a top-tier IT destination known for its world-class universities, engineering talent, and modern infrastructure.
Going offshore with Codazz strips out the overheads that inflate the cost of an equivalent in-house team in the US.

Not all offshore companies are created equal. Here is what makes Codazz different from generic outsourcing shops.
Unlike pure offshore shops, Codazz has a real headquarters in Edmonton, Alberta. Your project lead and account manager are in North America. Strategy meetings happen in your time zone. Engineering execution happens in Chandigarh.
Our Chandigarh team has a 96% annual retention rate — far above the industry average of 70%. Your developers stay on your project long-term. No knowledge loss, no re-onboarding, no disruption to velocity.
Choose fixed-price for well-scoped projects with predictable budgets, or time-and-materials for evolving products. Either way, you get weekly cost tracking with no surprise invoices.
Every Codazz engineer passes a 5-stage vetting process: technical assessment, live coding challenge, system design interview, English proficiency test, and cultural fit evaluation. Only the top 3% make it through.
All intellectual property rights are assigned to you from the very first line of code. Comprehensive NDAs, IP assignment agreements, and work-for-hire contracts ensure your assets are 100% protected.
Real-time project dashboards, daily standups, weekly reports, and bi-weekly demos. You always know where your budget stands, what has been delivered, and what is coming next. No black boxes.
Our offshore team has production expertise across every major technology. We match the right stack to your project for optimal performance and maintainability.
Real feedback from companies who partner with Codazz for offshore development.
“Codazz offshore team built our trading platform from scratch — 50,000 transactions per day with sub-100ms latency. The quality matched what we would expect from a top Bay Area firm, at a fraction of the cost.”
“Having their HQ in Edmonton was the deciding factor. We needed a Canadian partner for compliance reasons but wanted offshore pricing. Codazz gave us both. Our team has been rock solid for 14 months.”
“We scaled from 3 to 12 offshore developers in under a month when we closed our Series B. No other partner could have moved that fast with such consistent quality. The follow-the-sun model is a genuine advantage.”
The biggest offshore concern is communication breakdown. We have solved it systematically — through hiring, training, and management practices refined over 16 years.
All 100+ engineers at our Chandigarh center communicate in fluent English. Every daily standup, code review, technical spec, and Slack message is in English. No translation layers, no misinterpretations.
Our team has trained on Scrum, Kanban, and Agile delivery methods used by North American and European tech companies. Sprint ceremonies, user story writing, and acceptance criteria are second nature.
We train engineers to surface blockers early, ask clarifying questions before coding, and push back when requirements are unclear. You get a thinking partner — not just a code executor.
The Chandigarh team schedules 4-5 hours of overlap with US/Canada business hours daily. Key decisions never wait 24 hours. Standups, reviews, and urgent calls happen on your schedule.
Clean code, comprehensive documentation, peer code reviews, and test-driven development are non-negotiable at Codazz. Engineers take pride in shipping maintainable, production-grade software.
Our Edmonton HQ team bridges cultural context when needed. You get a culturally fluent North American point of contact plus the engineering power of our Chandigarh center.

Before a single requirement is shared, we sign a mutual NDA. Your idea, business model, and technical plans are legally protected from the first conversation.
All code, designs, databases, and documentation produced by our team are assigned to you under a legally binding work-for-hire contract. 100% ownership — no exceptions.
Every engineer, QA specialist, and DevOps engineer who touches your project signs a personal confidentiality agreement. Your IP is protected at the individual level, not just the company level.
Your code lives in your GitHub or GitLab organization. Developers access it via VPN and role-based permissions. Only team members approved by you have access. We never fork or retain copies.
Our operations are SOC 2 Type II certified, meaning an independent auditor verifies our security controls annually. ISO 27001 compliance further governs how we handle your data.

While your US team sleeps, our Chandigarh team is building. Wake up to completed features, merged pull requests, and resolved bugs. Effectively doubling your development hours without doubling your cost.
India produces over 1.5 million computer science graduates annually — more than any other country. This vast talent pool means we never struggle to find engineers with niche expertise in AI/ML, blockchain, IoT, or any specialized technology.
Hiring a senior developer in the US takes 45-90 days on average and costs $15,000-$30,000 in recruitment fees. With Codazz, your team is assembled and operational in 2 weeks with zero recruitment costs.
Need to double your team for a product launch? Scale back after a major release? Our bench of pre-vetted engineers allows you to scale from 3 to 15 developers in under a month, with no long-term commitments.
Our Chandigarh engineers are experienced in working with North American and European clients. They understand Western business culture, communicate fluently in English, and follow Agile/Scrum methodologies natively.
With a Canadian HQ providing legal and contractual protections, combined with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified operations, your offshore engagement is structured to minimize every category of risk — legal, security, quality, and continuity.
Everything you need to know about offshore software development with Codazz.
Ask our teamOffshore software development is contracting an engineering team in another country to design, build and maintain your software under one agreement. Companies use it to access larger talent pools and cut costs 60-70% vs equivalent US hires. Codazz delivers from an Edmonton, Canada HQ and a 100+ engineer center in Chandigarh, India.
Most clients save 60-70% compared to hiring the same roles in-house in the US or Canada — because offshore rates exclude recruiting fees, benefits, office space and equipment. Actual savings depend on team size, seniority mix and project duration. Codazz provides a written cost comparison on your discovery call.
Offshore (India-based team) maximizes cost savings with 4-5 hours of daily overlap with North American hours — best for MVPs and long-running product builds. Nearshore suits projects needing same-day collaboration at slightly higher rates. Codazz offers both and recommends based on your budget, timeline and communication needs.
