Qdrant Solutions simplifies global 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 results. To create a market-leading product, Qdrant prioritises recruiting top global talent irrespective of their physical location.

However, for Andre Zayarni this has meant coordinating a workforce across 15 countries, from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom. With staff operating under many different legal and cultural systems, administrative obstacles began to mount. Partnering with Remote allowed Qdrant to centralise its international processes into one streamlined workflow.

The challenge: Friction caused by global expansion

As Qdrant expanded past 15 contractors, managing international hires became a substantial "energy drain" for the operations team. Establishing a US subsidiary posed particular challenges, as tax advisers and accountants were needed to interpret local labour laws and benefit systems, drawing vital focus away from other priorities.

Aside from legal matters, the team battled with repetitive, demotivating manual work such as keying individual invoice amounts into banking portals. This created a high risk of human error and steered leadership's attention away from product development.

"The time saved is not so much a measurable number of hours as the removal of mind-numbing repetitive manual tasks, which drain energy and demotivate staff."

The solution: A unified platform for an international team

Qdrant brought Remote on board early to simplify its international operations. The aim was to reconcile differing cultural approaches while providing each team member with reliable, localised support infrastructure.

"Having both EOR and contractor management in one place has been useful for the company. It lets us oversee everything within a single system."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

Remote's Employer of Record services enabled Qdrant to handle the complexities of employing full-time staff without having to manage every element of legal compliance and local labour laws directly.

Remote Contractor Management

For global freelancers the workflow became immediate. Contractors simply upload their invoices to the Remote platform, removing the need for manual contract tracking and piecemeal communication.

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

The impact: Centralised operations and zero headaches

The biggest benefit for Qdrant has been the consolidation of administrative tasks. Instead of running 30+ separate bank transfers, the finance team now produces one payment file to pay everyone globally.

For staff the experience is seamless. The platform's reliability has resulted in no payroll complaints — a metric Dominik regards as the clearest sign of success.

"I recommend other businesses, particularly startups, adopt a solution like Remote since it saves considerable time and avoids headaches around legal compliance."
