Qdrant Solutions is a fast-growing software firm building advanced vector search tools to improve both internal and customer-facing search results. To deliver a market-leading product, Qdrant prioritises recruiting top global talent regardless of where they are based.
However, for Andre Zayarni, this meant coordinating a team across 15 countries, from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom. With staff spread across diverse legal and cultural systems, significant administrative hurdles began to surface. By partnering with Remote, Qdrant centralised its international operations into a single, efficient workflow.

The challenge: friction during global expansion
As Qdrant grew beyond 15 contractors, the complexity of international hiring became a major "energy drain" for the operations team. Establishing a US subsidiary proved especially demanding, requiring tax advisers and accountants to interpret local labour laws and benefit systems, which diverted essential focus from other priorities.
On top of legal obligations, the team wrestled with tedious, demotivating manual work entering individual invoice amounts into banking portals. The risk of human error was high, and the administrative burden pulled leadership away from core product development.
"The time saved isn't about a quantifiable number of hours so much as removing stupid, repetitive manual tasks that drain energy and demotivate employees."
Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations
The solution: a single platform for a global team
Qdrant engaged Remote early to simplify international operations. The aim was to balance different cultural mindsets while ensuring every team member had a dependable, localised infrastructure.
"Having EOR and contractor management together is useful for the company. It lets us manage everything from a single system."
Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations
Remote Employer of Record (EOR)
Remote's EOR services let Qdrant handle the complexities of hiring full-time employees without taking on every aspect of legal compliance and local labour laws themselves.
Remote Contractor Management
For global freelancers the process became immediate. Contractors simply uploaded invoices to the Remote platform, removing the need for manual contract tracking and fragmented communications.
"No payroll complaints are good news. HR admin should be boring when operations are running smoothly."
Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations
The impact: consolidated operations and zero headaches
The biggest benefit for Qdrant has been centralising administrative tasks. Rather than running 30+ separate bank transfers, the finance team now generates one payment file to pay everyone globally.
For employees the experience is seamless. The platform's reliability has led to a complete absence of payroll complaints — a result Dominik regards as the clearest sign of success.
"I recommend other companies, especially young ones, adopt a solution like Remote because it saves a lot of time and avoids headaches around legal compliance."
