Qdrant Solutions simplifies worldwide operations with integrated EOR and Contractor Management

Qdrant Solutions is a rapidly growing software company building advanced vector search capabilities to improve both internal and customer-facing search. To deliver a world-class product, Qdrant prioritises hiring top global talent regardless of their physical location.

However, for Andre Zayarni, coordinating a team spread across 15 countries — from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom — became a juggling act. With employees operating within diverse legal and cultural frameworks, considerable administrative obstacles emerged. By partnering with Remote, Qdrant consolidated its international operations into a single, streamlined workflow.

The challenge: the friction of global expansion

As Qdrant grew beyond 15 contractors, the operational complexity of international hiring became a major "energy drain" for the operations team. Establishing a US subsidiary was especially burdensome, requiring tax advisers and accountants to interpret local employment rules and benefits systems, and diverting vital attention from other priorities.

Aside from legal compliance, the team was weighed down by repetitive, demotivating manual tasks such as entering individual invoice amounts into banking portals. The chance of human error was significant, and the administrative load distracted leadership from core product development.

"The time saved is not primarily a measurable number of hours; it is the removal of foolish, repetitive manual tasks that sap energy and demotivate employees."

The solution: a unified platform for a global team

Qdrant engaged Remote early to simplify its international operations. The objective was to harmonise different cultural mindsets while ensuring each team member had access to a reliable, localised support infrastructure.

"Having EOR and contractor management together is advantageous for the company. It enables us to administer everything from a single system."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

Remote's EOR services enabled Qdrant to address the complexities of hiring full-time employees without shouldering the entire burden of legal compliance and local labour laws themselves.

Remote Contractor Management

For global freelancers, the workflow became instantaneous: contractors simply uploaded invoices to the Remote platform. This removed the need for manual contract tracking and fragmented communications.

"No payroll complaints is a positive indicator. HR administration ought to be unremarkable when operations run smoothly."

The impact: consolidated operations and zero headaches

The most notable benefit for Qdrant has been the consolidation of administrative tasks. Rather than executing 30+ separate bank transfers, the finance team now produces one payment file to pay everyone globally.

For employees, the experience is seamless. The platform's reliability has resulted in a total absence of payroll complaints — a metric Dominik regards as the clearest indication of success.

"I recommend other companies, especially early-stage ones, to adopt a solution like Remote because it saves substantial time and prevents headaches associated with legal compliance."
