For US agencies · White-label engineering channel

AI-augmented engineering team. White-label.

We're the delivery partner for US-based agencies who need to ship more, faster, on shrinking client budgets. Senior US engagement leads. AI-tooled offshore delivery team. We follow your client's AI policy. You keep the relationship. We do the work.

Why agencies work with OST

Three things competitors can't credibly claim

The white-label engineering market is crowded with offshore-only shops and overpriced US firms. We're built for what most agencies actually need — between those two.

01

AI-augmented, not just offshore

Our team uses Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot daily — typically on 30–50% of projects depending on client policy. That's faster shipping per dollar than offshore-without-AI. We can ship a feature in 3 days that traditional offshore would take 8.

02

Policy-aware

When your client's contract bans AI tool use (regulated industries, sensitive IP, government work), we ship without them. Same quality bar. Both modes documented in your contract. Most offshore vendors will lie about this. We won't.

03

US engagement layer

You're not managing offshore engineers across a 12-hour time difference. You talk to senior US engagement leads who run sprint planning, attend your client meetings if needed, and translate context to the delivery team. Same time zone for the parts that matter.

How it works

The engagement model

Four phases, each with clear ownership and timing. No surprises after kickoff.

Phase 1

Discovery & scope

1–2 weeks

Your engagement lead at OST works with your team to understand the client, the deliverable, the timeline, and the AI policy. We document everything. Your client never knows we're involved unless you choose to say so.

Phase 2

Sprint kickoff

1 week

We build a working proof-of-quality on the first deliverable. You review. Adjustments before scaling. This protects your relationship — we won't ship work to your client that doesn't pass our internal QA.

Phase 3

Ongoing delivery

your timeline

Two-week sprints, your sprint cadence. Daily standup with your team if you want it. Weekly demos. We ship at your pace, in your tooling, in your client's voice.

Phase 4

Long-term partnership

multi-year typical

Most successful agency partnerships become multi-year retainers — we become "your dev team" for any client work where we fit.

Partnership commitments

We won't compete with you. In writing.

Every agency partnership starts with a mutual NDA. We're also ready to sign a Non-Compete Agreement that explicitly bars us from going after your clients — during the engagement and after.

Mutual NDA, signed before discovery

Nothing about your client, your pricing, or your delivery process leaves the conversation. Standard mutual NDA, your form or ours.

Non-Compete Agreement on request

We'll sign an NCA prohibiting us from soliciting your named clients for a defined period after engagement ends. Your terms are negotiable; the principle isn't.

No marketing to your clients

We don't add your clients to our newsletter. We don't case-study them publicly without your sign-off. We don't pitch them adjacent services behind your back.

Your brand on every deliverable

We white-label fully. Your logo, your tone, your project channels. If your client asks who built it, you decide what they hear.

Sample mutual NDA and sample NCA available on request — request via contact form.

The partnership in plain English

What changes for you. What doesn't.

What you don't worry about

  • Recruiting offshore engineers
  • Managing time-zone friction
  • Quality control before client delivery
  • Pulling all-nighters when a release breaks
  • Translating client context to engineers
  • Handling AI policy questions
  • Compliance and accessibility verification
  • Long-term knowledge retention

What you keep

  • The client relationship — we don't market to them, we don't poach
  • Your branding on every deliverable — we white-label fully
  • Your project management approach — we adapt to Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp
  • Your communication style — we mirror your client's tone
  • Your margin — we charge you, you charge them, you keep the spread

Common questions

Frequently asked, briefly answered

Will you steal our clients?
No. Documented in the partnership agreement. We've operated this way for 8+ years across multiple agency partners. Reputation matters more than one quick lift.
How do you handle our client's AI policy?
We document it in our contract with you, then we deliver against it. If your client's policy says "no AI tools," we ship without them. If it allows AI with disclosure, we disclose. If it allows AI without restrictions, we use whatever helps us ship faster. Your client's policy is binding on our delivery team.
What's the minimum commitment?
We typically start with a 90-day engagement on a single defined project so we can prove value. After that, agencies usually expand to multi-project monthly retainers.
Do you do creative / design work too?
Some, with our designer in the India team. We're stronger on engineering than visual design — most agencies bring their own design team. We integrate with your design output rather than competing.
