The Financial Strain of High Operational Costs

Labor costs can put a strain on businesses, especially when they are trying to scale or compete in high-cost labor markets.

According to a study by Deloitte, labor costs represent an average of 59% of total company revenue. These high costs can limit a company’s ability to invest in other critical areas such as research and development, marketing, and more.

Nearshoring: A Cost-Effective Solution

Nearshoring presents an effective strategy to manage these costs. By moving business processes to countries where labor costs are lower, companies can significantly reduce their operational expenses. Not only that, but nearshoring also allows for easy collaboration due to similar time zones and cultural affinities.

As an example take a company that is based on Chicago and hires a nearshoring company like Kreativa which has personnel based in Mexico. With only a 1 hour time zone difference  and the lower costs this can mean for your company, you will work perfectly with the team based in Mexico and can get to your desired results in a quick way, just as if you had hired personnel based in the US!

Real-World Successes

Many successful businesses have leveraged nearshoring to cut down their operational costs. Take, for example, the case of an American tech company that reduced its operational costs by 40% by nearshoring its software development to Mexico.

Harnessing the Benefits of Nearshoring

To make the most of nearshoring, it’s crucial to conduct thorough research to understand the labor market in the target country, establish clear communication channels, and manage the transition effectively.
