Qdrant Solutions simplifies global operations with integrated EOR and Contractor Management

Qdrant Solutions develops cutting-edge vector search technology to boost both internal and customer-facing search results. To create a world-class product, Qdrant prioritises recruiting the best global talent, no matter where they are based.

For Andre Zayarni, managing a team across 15 countries — from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom — brought major administrative challenges as different legal and cultural contexts came into play. By partnering with Remote, Qdrant consolidated its international operations into a single, streamlined workflow.

The challenge: the friction of global expansion

When Qdrant expanded beyond 15 contractors, international hiring became a real "energy drain" for the operations team. Setting up a US subsidiary proved especially tough: tax advisers and accountants had to work through local labour laws and benefit arrangements, drawing crucial attention away from other priorities.

On top of the legal complexities, the team was tied down by repetitive, demoralising manual tasks—entering each invoice into banking portals. That raised the risk of mistakes and distracted leadership from core product development.

"The time saved isn't so much a countable number of hours as it is removing tedious, repetitive manual tasks that sap energy and demotivate staff."

Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations

The solution: a unified platform for a global team

Qdrant started using Remote early on to simplify international operations. The aim was to strike the right balance across different cultural approaches while ensuring every team member had a reliable, localised support structure.

"Having both EOR and contractor management together helps the company. It means we can handle everything from one system."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

Remote's EOR services let Qdrant handle the complexities of hiring full-time staff without having to manage every aspect of legal compliance and local labour laws themselves.

Remote Contractor Management

For global freelancers, the process became instant. Contractors simply uploaded their invoices to the Remote platform, removing the need for manual contract tracking and fragmented communications.

"No payroll complaints are a sign it's working well. HR admin should be unremarkable when operations run smoothly."

The impact: consolidated operations and zero headaches

The biggest change for Qdrant has been centralising administrative work. Rather than sending 30+ separate bank transfers, the finance team now generates one payment file to pay everyone globally.

For staff, the experience is seamless. The platform's reliability has led to a complete lack of payroll complaints — a metric Dominik considers the clearest sign of success.

"I recommend other companies, particularly early-stage ones, use a solution like Remote because it saves a huge amount of time and cuts out many headaches around legal compliance."
