Nearshoring is the practice of getting work or services performed by people in neighboring countries. You shouldn’t think of working with Rapido as outsourcing; we specialize in building extensions of your team in Mexico and ensure you do not give up your culture and best practices.

While offshoring involves outsourcing services to people in distant countries, nearshoring utilizes talent in neighboring countries. At Rapido, we specifically specialize in building teams in Guadalajara and Leon, Mexico.

We believe Mexico is the easy choice for nearshore talent sourcing. Building teams in Mexico is a cost-effective solution that offers multilingual, highly educated talent and workforce scalability. Discover all the benefits of nearshoring in Mexico (and Guadalajara and Leon in particular).

The cost of nearshoring can be slightly more expensive than offshoring, but it is significantly less expensive than building a local in-house team. While nearshoring in Mexico may involve higher labor costs compared to offshoring to other countries, it also offers benefits like reduced travel expenses and better cultural alignment because of its proximity to the US.

We adapt to any IT environment; our infrastructure is robust and includes enterprise internet connection and perimeter firewall with security compliance and scalability.

The billing process includes regular payroll and additional charges such as overtime, deductions, special bonuses, commissions, and reimbursements. The monthly rate is divided based on the number of days in the current month, with a daily rate determined accordingly.

Invoices are generated on a bi-monthly basis, meaning that invoices are issued twice per month. The invoices are sent via email on the last day of the corresponding period. You can expect to receive the invoices from the email address ar@rapidosolutionsgroup.com.

We continue to provide support and track performance via KPIs. Our Quality and Development team identifies areas for improvement as well as employees who are performing above and beyond expectations. We then provide coaching support to help develop those high-performing reps for leadership roles. See our full process.

At Rapido, cybersecurity is a priority. We foster an information security environment starting with routine trainings and tests to keep our employees updated on cybersecurity best practices.

We are committed to prevention; our network infrastructure is compliant with world-class standards to provide a secure information security environment.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) may vary by the different roles and responsibilities, but they are all aligned to business goals, expectations, procedures, and systems. Commonly tracked KPIs are loads booked, loads tracked, outbound and inbound calls, invoices submitted, and loads operated. These KPIs can be tracked daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the operational need.
