Offshore Development Lab

Minimize the risk and your operational cost as you improve your company's productivity and efficiency without sacrificing the quality of your product. Through MANILABO's Offshore Development Lab model, setting up an offshore development lab in the talent-rich Philippines is feasible on a low budget, starting with a group of two programmers.

With this model, the programmers are hired and recruited as employees of our company, allowing the customers to start a low-risk, lab-based development without having the need to establish a company in the Philippines.

In case you would like to test out our service for a few months, you can avail our trial contract. In this model, we will assign the project to freelance programmers who are contracted with our company. You can start with 1 programmer at a monthly flat rate.
