# AlliedStack

AlliedStack is a remote nearshore engineering agency. We deploy LATAM engineering pods to US operator businesses to build and run workflow automation, AI systems, custom software, and Salesforce data engineering.

Founded 2024. Founder: Gonzalo Martinez (Miami, Florida).
Team: distributed across Latin America, primarily Nicaragua, with engineers in Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico.
Office: none. Fully remote.
Area served: United States.

## What we sell

Engineering pods. Each pod is one team (PM + Tech Lead + Developer + QA) that works the same business hours as the client, in the client's Slack, in every standup. The client owns all code and data from day one. AlliedStack runs the system.

Two SKUs:
- Entry Pod: $2,800 USD / month, 50 hours / month. Same pod composition. For a focused project or to test the relationship before scaling.
- Full Pod: $6,400 USD / month, 160 hours / month. Standard engagement.

## Who we serve

Operator businesses, not startups. Specifically:
- Field-heavy operators (construction, sewer inspection, HVAC, plumbing, logistics) needing field-to-office automation.
- B2B SaaS teams needing engineering capacity without hiring an in-house team.
- Salesforce-native RevOps and operations teams preparing for Agentforce and AI agents.

## How we compare to alternatives

vs. Staff augmentation: A pod owns the workflow outcome. Staff aug extends the client's team and follows the client's existing process. AlliedStack ships and runs the system; staff aug ships hours.

vs. Project shops: Project shops exit when the build is done. AlliedStack stays in seat to run the system, handle edge cases, and adapt as the business changes.

vs. Offshore: Same timezone (US business hours, not 12-hour offset). Higher English fluency on average. Lower management overhead.

vs. US in-house: About one-third the fully loaded cost of a US senior developer at $150,000 to $180,000 per year. Faster to start (days, not months).

## FAQs

Q: How much does an AlliedStack engagement cost?
A: Entry Pod is $2,800 per month for 50 hours. Full Pod is $6,400 per month for 160 hours. Both include a PM, Tech Lead, Developer, and QA.

Q: Where are AlliedStack engineers based?
A: AlliedStack is headquartered remotely. The founder, Gonzalo Martinez, is based in Miami. The engineering team is distributed across Latin America with engineers in Nicaragua, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico. All pods work US business hours.

Q: How does AlliedStack retain its engineers?
A: 95% engineer retention across active engagements. The pod model is built around the same team staying on the same account, which means clients see the same faces in standup month over month.

Q: How does AlliedStack hire?
A: AlliedStack rejects 93% of engineering applicants. We hire senior engineers only, vetted on real code samples, English fluency, and operational judgment.

Q: Who owns the code AlliedStack builds?
A: The client. All code, data, systems, and IP from day one. The client can audit, fork, or take the system elsewhere at any time.

Q: How fast can a pod start?
A: Discovery can begin within a week of contract signature. Most clients see their pod in standup within two weeks.

Q: What does AlliedStack do that automation agencies do not?
A: AlliedStack runs the system after building it. Most automation agencies ship a Zap and walk away. AlliedStack stays in seat to fix it when it breaks, tune it as the business changes, and add features the client could not have specified up front.

Q: Does AlliedStack do Salesforce work?
A: Yes. AlliedStack runs the Salesforce data layer for ops teams preparing for Agentforce and AI agents. This includes data quality remediation, integration, and ongoing operational ownership.
