Worldwide Outsourcing Directory - from KOOKYPLAN

 

In this section, I would like to not only discuss the type of products and services that get outsourced, but I would also like this section to serve as a global resource base for finding companies in various countries around the world. I suggest that we organize the information both according to indusrty and by geography. I hope that companies will use their best judgement when adding themselves to this list. We are looking for objective information (remember, anyone can edit any page, so dont exaggerate or mislead). See the Community Guidelines for more info.

Amazon Mechanical Turk

What is Amazon Mechanical Turk?

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. The Mechanical Turk service gives businesses access to a diverse, on-demand, scalable workforce and gives workers a selection of thousands of tasks to complete whenever it's convenient.

Amazon Mechanical Turk is based on the idea that there are still many things that human beings can do much more effectively than computers, such as identifying objects in a photo or video, performing data de-duplication, transcribing audio recordings, or researching data details. Traditionally, tasks like this have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce (which is time consuming, expensive, and difficult to scale) or have gone undone.

Solid wood furniture

• Moveis Mosteiro in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil- makes solid wood furniture out of various Brazilian hardwoods.

They have a solar-powered kiln on site for drying of woods so humidity issues are controlled. They have an environmentally correct line of products made from recycled rail road ties (and old demolition woods). It is a small family owned operation. Production is made to order.
