01The situation
SOW and Managed Services in Mexico: Buy the Outcome, Not More People to Supervise: what you get and how it works
Remote supervision is where nearshore engagements quietly fail. If your managers cannot see the work, hourly staffing turns into unmanaged cost.
A statement of work moves that risk. We define deliverables, acceptance criteria and service levels, put our own supervision on the ground, and carry responsibility for the output.
SOW is not always the right structure. When the need is really named people rather than a contracted deliverable, a recruitment or employment route is cleaner and usually cheaper. We will say so.
SOW and managed services Mexico in plain terms
Statement of work (SOW)
A contract for a defined deliverable or service level, where the provider supervises its own personnel and is paid on milestones or output rather than hours worked.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask us before they commit. If yours is not here, send it and a Mexico specialist answers it directly.
Ask a Mexico SpecialistWhat is the difference between SOW and staffing in Mexico?+
Under staffing, you direct the workers and pay for their time. Under a statement of work, we own the deliverable, supervise our own people and are paid against defined milestones or service levels. The distinction matters for cost control and for how the engagement is treated under Mexican labor rules.
When should we use SOW instead of hiring?+
When the scope is defined and finite, when you do not want to supervise the work directly, or when you need a result rather than headcount, commissioning, migrations, back-office processing, maintenance programs.
Does REPSE apply to SOW engagements?+
It depends on the nature of the work. Specialized services that are not part of your core business activity may fall inside Mexico's specialized-services regime, which requires the provider to hold an applicable REPSE registration. We review scope before contracting and tell you which regime applies. REPSE is a registration, not a certification, and it does not apply to every engagement.
How is pricing structured?+
Either fixed price against milestones, unit price per transaction or output, or a managed-service monthly fee tied to service levels. We price after scope definition, not before.
Who employs the people doing the work?+
We do. They are our employees, registered with IMSS, supervised by our leads, working to the scope in the contract.
