The distinction between these two terms lies in the difference between the distance across the countries of the hiring company (vendor) and the hired outsource company/team (supplier).

How long does it take to start my product development?
To start with, we review project requirements from the client, we get them analyzed and then inform you of the estimation results.
Once you are fine with the cost and time, the next step would be to create a project report document and a proposal. Our business analyst will prepare this and then we send you the same for review. Once everything has been finalized we would then take the project to the next stage, which is the development stage.
