History
Since its foundation in 2005, Smartshore Ability has been all about talent and quality. Just as many companies started choosing to outsource and relocate work to ‘cheap’ countries, our founder Jelke Schippers did the opposite.
Instead of taking work from the Netherlands to India, he first went to India, where he sought out the talent and, together with a local partner, built the very first Smartshore Ability development team. After this, he went looking for customers in the Netherlands.
Smartshore Ability now has two branches in India and two in the Netherlands, meaning that the work we want to do close to the customer can be done close to the customer, while making optimum use of the effectiveness of our Indian branches.
