Qdrant Solutions streamlines global operations with integrated EOR and Contractor Management

Qdrant Solutions is a high-growth software company developing advanced vector search functionality to improve internal and customer-facing search results. To build a world-class product, Qdrant prioritises hiring the best global talent regardless of their physical location.

But, for Andre Zayarni, that means juggling a team spanning 15 countries, from Argentina to the United States and the United Kingdom. And with employees spanning such diverse legal and cultural landscapes, significant administrative hurdles started to arise. By partnering with Remote, Qdrant consolidated its international operations into a single, efficient workflow.

The challenge: The friction of global expansion

As Qdrant scaled to more than 15 contractors, the complexity of international hiring became a major "energy drain" for the operations team. Setting up a US subsidiary was particularly difficult, requiring tax advisers and accountants to navigate local employment laws and benefit systems, consuming critical attention from internal teams that were diverted from other priorities.

Beyond the legalities, the team also struggled with the repetitive and demotivating manual tasks of entering individual invoice amounts into banking portals. The risk of manual error was high, and the administrative burden was distracting leadership from core product development.

"The time saved is less about a quantifiable number of hours and more about eliminating stupid and repetitive manual tasks, which are energy-draining and demotivating for employees."

The solution: A unified platform for a global team

Qdrant adopted Remote early in its journey to simplify its international operations. The goal was to find a balance between various cultural mindsets while ensuring every team member was supported by a stable, localised infrastructure.

"Having both EOR and contractor management in one place is helpful for the company. It allows us to manage everything in a single system."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

Remote's EOR services allowed Qdrant to manage the complexities of hiring full-time employees without the headache of managing every aspect of legal compliance and local employment laws themselves.

Remote Contractor Management

For their global freelancers, the process became instantaneous. Contractors simply uploaded their invoices into the Remote platform. This eliminated the need for manual contract tracking and fragmented communication.

"The absence of complaints regarding payroll is considered good news. HR admin should be boring when operations are running smoothly."

The impact: Consolidated operations and zero headaches

The most significant impact for Qdrant has been the consolidation of administrative work. Instead of executing 30+ individual bank transfers, the finance team now generates one payment file to pay everyone globally.

For employees, the experience is seamless. The reliability of the platform has led to a complete absence of payroll complaints — a metric Dominik views as the ultimate sign of success.

"I advise other companies, especially young ones, to use a solution like Remote because it saves a lot of time and headaches related to legal compliance."
