Qdrant Solutions is a high-growth software firm creating advanced vector search capabilities to enhance both internal and customer-facing search results. To deliver a world-class product, Qdrant focuses on hiring top global talent regardless of their geographic location.
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 varied legal and cultural systems, substantial administrative obstacles emerged. By partnering with Remote, Qdrant consolidated its international operations into a single, efficient workflow.

The challenge: operational friction from global expansion
As Qdrant expanded beyond 15 contractors, the complexity of international hiring became a major "energy drain" for the operations team. Establishing a US subsidiary proved particularly difficult, requiring tax advisors and accountants to interpret local labor laws and benefit systems, and diverting vital attention from other priorities.
Beyond legal considerations, the team was burdened by tedious, demotivating manual tasks—entering each invoice amount into banking portals. The chance of human error was high, and this administrative load distracted leadership from core product development.
"The time saved isn't simply a matter of countable hours but rather the removal of foolish, repetitive manual tasks that drain energy and demotivate employees."
Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations
The solution: a unified platform for a global team
Qdrant adopted Remote early in its growth to simplify international operations. The objective was to balance differing cultural approaches while making sure every team member benefited from a dependable, localized infrastructure.
"Having both EOR and contractor management together benefits the company. It allows us to oversee everything from a single system."
Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations
Remote Employer of Record (EOR)
Remote's EOR services enabled Qdrant to manage the complexities of hiring full-time employees without bearing the full burden of legal compliance and local labor regulations themselves.
Remote Contractor Management
For global freelancers, the workflow became immediate: contractors simply upload their invoices to the Remote platform. This removed the need for manual contract tracking and fragmented communication.
"No payroll complaints is good news. HR administration should be unremarkable when operations run smoothly."
Dominik Alberts, Head of Finance and Operations
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 generates one payment file to pay everyone worldwide.
For employees, the experience is seamless. The platform's reliability has resulted in a complete absence of payroll complaints — a metric Dominik regards as the clearest sign of success.
"I recommend other companies, especially younger ones, to adopt a solution like Remote because it saves considerable time and spares many headaches tied to legal compliance."
