Qdrant Solutions simplifies international operations with integrated EOR and Contractor Management

Qdrant Solutions is a fast-growing software company building advanced vector search capabilities to enhance both internal and customer-facing search. To create a top-tier product, Qdrant prioritises recruiting the best global talent regardless of their location.

However, for Andre Zayarni, coordinating a team across 15 countries — from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom — introduced complex administrative challenges. With staff spread across diverse legal and cultural systems, operational frictions emerged. By partnering with Remote, Qdrant brought its international operations together into a single, streamlined workflow.

The challenge: the friction of global expansion

As Qdrant expanded beyond 15 contractors, international hiring became a significant "energy drain" for the operations team. Establishing a US subsidiary was particularly challenging, requiring tax advisers and accountants to interpret local labour laws and benefit systems, which pulled critical focus away from other priorities.

In addition to legal issues, the team was burdened by repetitive, demotivating manual work—entering each invoice into banking portals. That manual process carried a high risk of error and distracted leaders from core product development.

"The time saved isn't so much a precise count of hours as it is removing mind‑numbing, repetitive manual tasks that drain energy and demotivate employees."

The solution: a unified platform for a global team

Qdrant engaged Remote early to simplify its cross‑border operations. Their objective was to reconcile different cultural approaches while ensuring each team member had dependable, localised support.

"Having both EOR and contractor management in one place is helpful for the company. It allows us to manage everything in a single system."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

Remote's EOR service enabled Qdrant to hire full‑time staff without taking on the burden of managing every aspect of legal compliance and local labour regulations.

Remote Contractor Management

For global freelancers, the workflow became almost instantaneous—contractors upload invoices directly into the Remote platform, removing the need for manual contract tracking and fragmented communication.

"No complaints about payroll are good news. HR admin should be unremarkable when operations run smoothly."

The impact: consolidated operations and zero headaches

The biggest effect for Qdrant has been centralising administrative tasks. Instead of issuing 30+ individual bank transfers, the finance team now generates one payment file to settle everyone globally.

For employees, the experience is seamless. The platform's consistency has resulted in no payroll complaints — a measure Dominik considers the clearest indicator of success.

"I recommend other companies, especially younger ones, to adopt a solution like Remote because it saves substantial time and avoids many legal‑compliance headaches."
