Remote surpasses $300 million in annual recurring revenue, achieving 50% revenue growth per employee through AI adoption across the organization

Remote, a seven-year-old Amsterdam-based payroll service provider, recently surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue and became cash-flow positive. The company attributes a 50% increase in revenue per employee to AI adoption across all organizational levels, with CEO Job van der Voort noting he runs five different Claude instances to build tools for the company.

Remote launched Remote Labs, an internal marketplace where employees across functions deploy AI applications, and Remote Build, which provides engineers to work directly with customers to create custom AI workflows. The company also released Remote MCP, an interface based on the Model Context Protocol (a standard letting AI agents securely interact with external software), granting AI agents and platforms like BambooHR and Workday direct access to payroll and compliance data.

The company's engineering productivity has risen more than 60% over the last year, with more than 85% of all code written by AI over the last month. Remote reduced its planned hiring in some departments but made no job cuts, with van der Voort stating the company is evaluating whether to add headcount or spend more on upskilling existing employees in AI tools.
