Our signature
The Toc Toc system
Offshore rarely fails because of the code. It fails because of the silence between two meetings. Our Toc Toc screens replace that silence with a door left ajar between your office and our floor.
The open window
A dedicated screen at your office, another at ours. Picture on, sound off. You see your team work as if they were in the next room.
The knock
A physical button or a click: the sound opens and the conversation starts. No invite, no link to send. A 30-second question stays a 30-second question.
The 10 a.m. tea
A daily 10-minute ritual, screen to screen, with no agenda. Coffee on one side, mint tea on the other. This is where trust starts.
Mirror hours
Our teams set their hours to yours. For Canada, a shifted team covers your mornings live.
Screens and hardware supplied, shipped from France and installed by Clever for the whole contract.
Our stance
No pyramid. Squads.
The classic model bills heads: many juniors at the bottom, coordination at the top. With AI, that model no longer makes sense. We sell squads of 3 to 4 senior engineers, equipped with AI, paid for the result delivered. No junior is ever billed.
| Criterion | Classic offshore | Clever |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Man-days | Squad and delivered result |
| Composition | Pyramid, mostly juniors | 3 to 4 seniors, no junior billed |
| Team | Interchangeable profiles | Named team, written into the contract |
| Start | 6 to 10 weeks of recruiting | Up and running in 10 business days |
| Ramp-up | Billed to the client | On us: billing starts at the first merged code |
| Communication | Scheduled meetings | Toc Toc screen always open |
| Use of AI | Unmeasured, rarely shared | Measured gain, reflected on the invoice |
Engagement models
Three ways to work together
Choose according to how well you know the need. You can change model at the end of each cycle.
Fixed price
You know exactly what you want
Scope, timeline and price are set up front. We carry the delivery risk.
- Scope framed in a workshop
- Payments tied to accepted deliverables
Best for: MVP, rebuild, defined module
- Only at Clever
Fixed-price squad
The agility of time and materials, the safety of a fixed price
A dedicated squad, a fixed price per sprint, and a commitment on delivered volume. Your backlog moves, your budget does not.
- Monthly squad subscription, no long commitment
- Velocity commitment reviewed each quarter
- Missed sprint: the next one is billed at a reduced price
Best for: SaaS products, living roadmaps
Time & materials
You lead, we reinforce
Engineers integrated into your teams, tools and rituals, billed for time spent.
Best for: team reinforcement, peak load
Your squads can also be AI squads.Discover Strata
What others will not promise
Eight commitments that take the risk off your side
01
A named team
Your engineers' names are written into the contract. No rotation without your agreement. Our engineers receive a bonus tied to how long they stay on your mission.
02
You pay from the first merged pull request
Ramp-up is on us. Billing starts when your team accepts our first contribution.
03
A cap on review time
We commit to a rate of contributions accepted without major rework. Rework is at our expense.
04
Operational in 10 days
Our engineers are already on board. Your squad is up and running 10 business days after the scoping workshop, as soon as we receive your access.
05
AI that is measured, not promised
Our engineers work with or without AI assistants, according to your rules. The productivity gain is measured and shared on the invoice.
06
An open dashboard
Velocity, tickets, hours, code quality: live access, without waiting for a monthly report.
07
An ambassador on site
One squad member spends one week per quarter at your office. The face behind the screen becomes a colleague.
08
Full reversibility
Code, documentation and access are yours from day one. A build-operate-transfer option if you later want to take the team back.
Are you an agency or an IT services firm?
Grow bigger without hiring
We become your production team, white label. You keep the client relationship, we deliver under your brand. Our Toc Toc screens become your argument with your own clients.

- A squad available in 10 days to absorb a peak
- Partner rates that step down with volume

FAQ
Why outsource software development to Morocco rather than India or Eastern Europe?
Time-zone and geographic proximity to Europe, native French, working English and controlled costs: you get nearshore responsiveness at a cost close to offshore.
What is the difference between fixed price, time and materials, and a fixed-price squad?
Fixed price locks scope and price. Time and materials bills time spent. A fixed-price squad combines a dedicated squad and a fixed price per sprint, with a commitment on delivered volume.
How do Toc Toc screens work?
A dedicated screen at your office and one at ours, connected continuously, picture on and sound off. A knock opens the sound for an instant exchange. Installation takes place during kickoff, with hardware shipped from France.
What happens if an engineer is not the right fit?
We replace them, knowledge transfer included, at no extra cost.
How long does it take to start?
Your squad is up and running 10 business days after the scoping workshop, as soon as we receive your access. Toc Toc screens follow shortly; meanwhile the team starts over video.
Do you work with clients in Canada?
Yes. Mirror hours cover Eastern Canadian mornings live, in French and in English.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one. Code, documentation and intellectual property are assigned to you in the contract.
How do you protect our data?
Confidentiality agreements, named access and practices aligned with the GDPR and Moroccan law 09-08.
Knock knock.Who's there?
Tell us in two lines what you are building. A technical lead calls you back within 24 business hours for a first 15-minute exchange.
