LatamCent makes nearshoring feel like an
extension of your AI team
It basically feels like we’re working with our in-house people team. Sometimes I can’t tell who’s our team member and who’s LatamCent’s.
When I started, my team was around four or five people. It’s almost 30 now. That’s in large part due to the work LatamCent has done for us.
I know we're going to get good people, and I don't have any worry that it's going to be a super long six-month process of trying to find someone.
We needed to expand our analytics team fast but still stay within budget.
