Nearshore software development from Albania, with an EU partner

Nearshore without the offshore risk

Offshore promises low prices and often delivers frustration: rotating teams, time zone gaps, misunderstood requirements. Pomelio Labs is built differently. Thomas is your fixed point of contact in the EU and owns delivery end to end. Andi builds and runs the infrastructure and automation from Albania. You get the cost advantage of nearshore and still a direct, reliable line to the people doing the work.

Why Albania

• Same time zone. GMT+1, the same as Germany and most of Western Europe. No overnight handoffs, real-time collaboration.
• EU standards and data protection. We host in the EU and work GDPR-compliant. Data transfer is covered contractually via a DPA and the EU standard contractual clauses, with the contract and point of contact in the EU.
• Strong engineering culture. A growing pool of experienced developers, without the overheated price of Western European tech hubs.
• 30 to 50% cost advantage. Against pure German agency rates, at the same quality and communication.

One team, one responsibility

The difference is in the setup. You are not buying hours from a vendor you never meet. When you hire Albanian developers through Pomelio, you work with a fixed duo that has delivered together for years: an EU-based partner who knows your language, your market and your expectations, and an Albanian engineer who keeps everything fast, secure and online. It is a real software development company in Albania with a single EU point of contact, not a faceless marketplace. Names instead of ticket numbers.

Contract, invoicing and a fixed point of contact in the EU, delivery with the cost advantage from Albania. See what we build, or tell us about your project in a free intro call.
