01 · The Problem
You did not start a company to run a dev team.
Your in-house team costs too much and delivers too little
Salaries, visas, gratuity and office space. The monthly burn keeps climbing while the roadmap stays where it was last quarter.
Managing developers is eating your time as a founder
Standups, code reviews, hiring, resignations. Your calendar belongs to your team instead of your customers and investors.
Poor output quality is slowing down your product
Bugs reach production, releases slip, and every fix creates two more. Confidence in the build erodes across the company.
02 · Why PCS
A team that feels in-house, without the overhead.
You get an engineering team that is already built, already tested and already working together. It reports to you, not the other way around.
7+ years in QA, firmware, web and app development
Automation testing, embedded firmware and full product builds under one roof, with one accountable owner.
Served clients across UAE, USA, UK and Europe
Gulf working hours, clear written reporting and delivery habits that survive time zones.
Fixed cost, flexible team, zero hiring headaches
Scale the team up for a launch and back down after. No visas, no notice periods, no severance to plan around.

03 · Answers
Straight answers, before the call.
Why is my in-house tech team so expensive in Dubai?
A mid-level developer in Dubai carries salary, visa, insurance, gratuity, hardware and office cost, so the real monthly figure is often 40 to 60 percent above the salary itself. You also pay for idle time between projects. A managed team is a fixed monthly cost with none of that exposure, and it scales down when the roadmap is light.
What is a managed tech team?
A managed tech team is an external engineering team that owns delivery end to end: planning, development, QA, releases and reporting. You approve priorities, we handle the people. For a founder it removes hiring, standups, code reviews and replacement risk, with one accountable point of contact.
Can you take over an existing team or codebase?
Yes. Most UAE engagements start with an audit of the current codebase, test coverage and release process, then a phased handover. Your developers can stay, work alongside our team, or be replaced gradually. Nothing changes until the audit findings are agreed with you in writing.
Which technologies do you work with?
QA automation with Selenium, Appium and Playwright. Web and product work on the MERN stack and Next.js. Firmware and embedded development. Seven years of delivery across these areas for clients in the UAE, USA, UK and Europe.
How quickly can a team start?
The free 15-minute call is usually followed by a written scope within two working days, and a team can typically begin inside one to two weeks. Delivery estimates are given in good faith on the scope described and are reconfirmed once detailed requirements are finalised.
How does the pay only if satisfied model work?
We deliver in weekly sprints. Every Friday you review what was built and you pay only if that week's output meets your expectations. You own all source code from day one and you can cancel at any time with no penalty.
Do you work in UAE business hours?
Yes. Gulf working hours, Sunday to Thursday alignment, direct WhatsApp access to founder Nilesh Pal, and written weekly reporting so you can see progress without chasing anyone.
