Qdrant Solutions simplifies global operations with combined EOR and Contractor Management

Qdrant Solutions is a fast-growing software company building advanced vector search capabilities to improve both internal and customer-facing search. To deliver a world-class product, Qdrant focuses on hiring top global talent regardless of where they are based.

For Andre Zayarni, this meant coordinating a team across 15 countries — from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom. With staff distributed across varied legal and cultural environments, administrative obstacles surfaced. Partnering with Remote allowed Qdrant to centralise its international operations into a single, streamlined workflow.

The challenge: friction during global expansion

As Qdrant expanded beyond 15 contractors, international hiring became a major energy drain for the operations team. Establishing a US subsidiary proved especially taxing, requiring tax advisers and accountants to navigate local labour laws and benefit systems, which diverted vital focus from other priorities.

Beyond the legal issues, the team faced repetitive, demoralising manual work — entering each invoice amount into banking portals. That increased the risk of human error and distracted leadership from core product development.

"Time saved isn't so much about a specific number of hours as it is about removing tedious, 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 in its growth to simplify international operations. The objective was to reconcile different cultural approaches while ensuring every team member received dependable, localised support.

"Having both EOR and contractor management together is useful for the company. It lets us manage everything from a single system."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

Remote's EOR services enabled Qdrant to handle the complexities of hiring full-time employees without bearing the full burden of legal compliance and local labour law requirements.

Remote Contractor Management

For freelancers worldwide, the process became immediate. Contractors upload their invoices to the Remote platform, removing the need for manual contract tracking and disjointed communication.

"No payroll complaints is good news. HR administration should be unremarkable when operations run smoothly."

The impact: consolidated operations and no headaches

The most significant result for Qdrant has been the centralisation of administrative duties. Instead of running 30+ separate bank transfers, the finance team now generates one payment file to pay everyone globally.

For employees, the outcome is seamless. Platform reliability has produced a total absence of payroll complaints — a metric Dominik considers the clearest sign of success.

"I recommend other companies, particularly younger ones, adopt a solution like Remote because it saves considerable time and avoids legal compliance headaches."
