Engagement · Outsourcing

An ecommerce team in India you can brief directly.

Outsourcing goes wrong in the same two places every time: nobody can reach the people writing the code, and nothing is documented when the contract ends. We built the engagement model around fixing both.

Why outsourced builds fail

Not because of distance or skill. They fail because the client talks to an account manager who talks to a project manager who talks to a developer, so every clarification takes two days and arrives distorted. And because when the engagement ends there is no documentation, so the next team starts by reverse-engineering what they inherited.

We run it differently. You talk to the engineers doing the work, in a shared channel, with a named technical lead. Sprints end in a demo you can click rather than a status report. And documentation is a deliverable, not a promise, architecture notes, runbooks and handover sessions are written into the scope.

The team sits in Kochi, Kerala. Indian Standard Time overlaps the full UAE and Gulf working day and a good part of the European morning, so review cycles are same-day rather than next-day.

What the market demands

  • Direct access to engineersA shared channel with the people writing the code and a named technical lead, rather than a relay through account management.
  • Sprint demos you can clickTwo-week sprints ending in working software on a staging environment, so progress is visible rather than reported.
  • Your repositories, your accountsCode lives in your version control from day one. Environments, domains and third-party accounts stay in your name throughout.
  • Documentation as a deliverableArchitecture notes, integration contracts, runbooks and recorded handover sessions written into the scope, not offered as an extra.
  • Overlapping working hoursKochi hours cover the full Gulf working day and a substantial part of the European morning, so questions are answered the same day.
  • Fixed scope with milestonesPriced and milestoned rather than open-ended time and materials, so the commercial risk of scope drift sits with us.

Engagement models

How teams use us

Agencies, brands and in-house teams all outsource differently.

OS

Fixed-scope projects

A defined build with milestones, acceptance criteria and a fixed price, the commercial risk of scope estimation sits with us.

  • Milestone pricing
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Sprint demos
  • Documented handover

OS

Dedicated team

A named team working only on your roadmap, billed monthly, that you direct as though it were in-house.

  • Named engineers
  • Your sprint cadence
  • Direct communication
  • Scales up and down

OS

White-label for agencies

Ecommerce delivery behind another agency's brand, with the discretion and documentation that requires.

  • Under NDA
  • Your client relationship
  • Your branding
  • Clean handover

How outsourcing runs

Small first, then bigger

We would rather prove the working relationship on something contained than start with a nine-month build.

Scope and estimate

Technical discovery, documented requirements and a fixed estimate with milestones. Ambiguity found here is cheap.

Start with something contained

A first piece of work small enough to prove the relationship, communication, quality and pace, before either side commits to a large programme.

Sprint delivery

Two-week sprints, working demos on staging, direct access to engineers and a named technical lead throughout.

Document as you go

Architecture notes, integration contracts and runbooks written during the build while the reasoning is still accurate.

Hand over properly

Recorded walkthroughs, written SOPs and a session with whoever takes it on next, so nothing depends on us remaining involved.

A 60+ in-house team, 16+ years

The questions to ask any ecommerce company Book a free ecommerce consultation
The commercial model

We are not looking for a recurring retainer.
We want a percentage of the sales we create.

Globosoft works as a growth partner, not a monthly line item. We agree a baseline, build and market your ecommerce, and take an agreed share of the incremental sales that follow. If your revenue does not move, our fee does not either.

The usual agency deal

A monthly retainer that bills whether you grow or not.

  • Fixed invoice every month, indefinitely
  • Effort reported in hours, not in revenue
  • Safe recommendations, because risk sits with you
  • Renewal conversations instead of growth conversations

The Globosoft growth-share deal

A percentage of the sales we actually generate.

  • You pay from revenue, out of money that arrived
  • Our income moves only when your sales move
  • We push the bold ideas, because we carry the risk
  • Transparent baseline, so "growth" means growth
0 retainers

No open-ended monthly fee for the growth engagement. The commercial deal is tied to sales, not to calendar months.

% of sales

An agreed percentage of the incremental revenue we generate, measured against a baseline we both sign off before work starts.

1 shared goal

Everyone in the room is paid by the same number: the revenue and contribution margin your store produces.

Questions

Ecommerce questions from India & UAE

The questions that come up most often in the first conversation.

Why outsource ecommerce development to India?

Cost is the usual reason given, but the durable ones are capacity and specialisation, access to an ecommerce team that has delivered across Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce and custom builds, available faster than hiring. Globosoft's Kochi team is a Premium Shopify Partner with more than 100 Shopify projects delivered, working hours that overlap the Gulf and European morning.

How do we know the quality will be good?

Start small. A contained first project shows you the communication, the code and the pace before either side commits to a large programme. Beyond that, ask for direct access to engineers rather than account managers, insist on sprint demos on a staging environment, and require documentation as a deliverable.

What are the working hours and how does communication work?

The team is in Kochi on Indian Standard Time, which overlaps the full UAE and Gulf working day and a good part of the European morning. Communication is a shared channel directly with the engineers plus a named technical lead, rather than a relay through account management.

Who owns the code and the intellectual property?

You do, from the first commit. Code lives in your version control, environments and third-party accounts stay in your name, and documentation is part of the deliverable. A client who cannot leave easily is not a reference.

Can you work white-label behind our agency?

Yes. We deliver ecommerce behind other agencies' brands under NDA, with your client relationship and branding intact and documentation written so your team can support the work afterwards.
