White-label development for agencies
Your agency's name on the work. Our engineers behind it.
Your clients want apps, portals, and AI features. Your team is designers, strategists, and a couple of developers who are already at capacity. Hiring for every spike is slow and expensive, and turning work away is worse. The usual fix is a freelancer, and it works until one disappears mid-project with your client's launch date.
We work behind your brand as your development department. Our engineers join your Slack and project tools, your client never hears our name unless you want them to, and you set your own margin on top of a predictable cost.
What you get
What agencies hand us
Full builds under your brand
Web apps, client portals, SaaS MVPs, and mobile apps your agency scoped and sold. We build them, you present them.
Overflow capacity
A developer or small pod that absorbs the spikes, usually starting within about two weeks, and scales back down when the rush ends.
The technical layer you don't have
Backend, integrations, AI features, and cloud setup, working alongside your own design and front-end team.
Pre-sales scoping
Technical scoping and estimates for your proposals, so you quote the build with confidence instead of guessing.
Post-launch care
Maintenance under your agency's name, so the recurring revenue and the client relationship both stay with you.

Proof
We've shipped this.
A real-time portal a mall group's marketing staff use every day: the kind of client-facing build agencies sell and need delivered without drama.
Worth knowing
How white-label works with us
- NDA and non-solicitation signed first. We never contact, pitch, or accept work from your clients directly.
- Your brand wherever it shows. Repos, documentation, status updates, and demo builds can carry your agency's name.
- Your tools, your process. Slack, Jira, Linear, or Asana, with standups at hours that overlap your team's day.
- Your client stays yours. We join client calls only when you ask, and only as part of your team.
- IP goes where your contract says. Code and IP transfer to you or your client on delivery.
One thing we ask: agree who talks to the client. A single voice keeps projects clean.
How it runs
How a partnership starts
- 01
Partner call
freeYour services, your typical projects, your stack, and where your team runs out of capacity.
- 02
Pilot project
2–8 weeksOne well-scoped project, or a two-week trial sprint on a live one, so you can judge our code, our communication, and how we handle your client's curveballs before committing to more.
- 03
Working agreement
1 weekRates, response times, the escalation path, and how scoping requests flow from your sales team to ours, all in writing.
- 04
Scale
ongoingDedicated developers for steady work, fixed-price builds for defined projects, or both. Capacity goes up and down with your pipeline.

Why Shimira IT
Why agencies keep us on.
Invisible by default
Your brand and your client relationship, with our engineering behind them.

No lock-in
Month-to-month capacity, documented code, and handover-ready repos. You stay because it works.
Questions
Before you get in touch.
No. We sign a non-solicitation agreement before we start, and we only speak to your clients when you ask us to, as part of your team.
Yes, that's the point of white-label. Our engineers can work under your agency's name, in your tools, and on client calls.
Whoever your contract with your client says. We transfer code and IP to you, or directly to your client, on delivery.
On the same published rates as our direct work: a fixed price for defined projects, or monthly for dedicated developers. You add your margin on top. See our pricing page.
Usually within about two weeks of the partner call, sooner for a single developer joining a live project.
Change requests are priced openly to you before any work starts, so you decide how to pass them on. No surprise invoices.
Not sure what you need yet? That's the usual starting point.
Tell us the problem in your own words. We'll scope it with you and put the plan in writing, free, and yours to keep either way.
