How much does offshore staffing for a decorative hardware distributor cost?+
Typically 60–80% below domestic. One decorative-hardware distributor built a 12-person offshore team across estimating, finance, marketing, and support at roughly 79% below the U.S. equivalent — dedicated, full-time people embedded in their systems.
Which hardware roles can I offshore?+
Quote and spec desk support, order entry and expediting, showroom and design support, customer service, and catalog/finish data management — the detail-heavy work that keeps designers and the trade handled.
Will an offshore team understand finishes, collections, and spec-driven work?+
Yes. We recruit for the aptitude to learn a finish-sensitive catalog and train each person on your collections and vocabulary, so quotes are accurate and clients feel handled.
How fast can a hardware support role start?+
Usually a few weeks from scoping to first day.
