Karel Dytrych asks on behalf of Freelo
Published:
From a new car or motorbike to a holiday in a rented motorhome to a plumage and an advertising agency. The BARTH Group is constantly expanding its services. It has been on the market since 1994, has grown to an annual turnover of over three billion and employs over 250 people. To keep all its activities perfectly organised, it uses Freelo. However, each department at BARTH Autocentre works with it differently. Come and get inspired. 👇
"We are an authorized dealer and service provider of 8 brands. Freelo helps us manage activities in the marketing, accounting and IT departments. We were previously using MS Planner, but Freelo has much more functionality that convinced us to switch. The biggest advantage is that we all know what to do. I can't imagine running the IT department without Freelo anymore."
Pavel Černý Head of IT, Autocentrum BARTH
The BARTH Group sells over 6,000 cars a year and regularly wins awards for sales and customer service. From the best Kia and Volkswagen dealer to Skoda sales and satisfaction awards. But they also give back – financially supporting, for example, the Pardubice children’s home and the Debra organisation.
Dozens of people, three departments – at BARTH Autocentre, marketers, engineers and accountants all use Freelo. But their work is so different, each team has set up its own workflow in the app.
"The IT department uses Freelo mainly as a helpdesk. Marketing, on the other hand, mainly uses predefined templates to help with marketing campaigns. There, the correct sequence of tasks is essential, and Freelo's list of sub-tasks helps significantly. In the accounting department, it is important to meet deadlines , for example, when sending reports to state authorities. Freelo's sophisticated system of deadlines for individual tasks does not allow the accountant to forget the essential reports that she is obliged to process."
Miroslav Vraný Head of Marketing, BARTH Autocentre
"It's a beautiful example of how Freelo is variable and adapts to the different needs of different departments."

Mondays are usually about assigning tasks to the whole team but each department handles this differently.
"In the IT department, the head of department organises the work. On Monday, the tasks to be worked on during the week are determined. Of course, we set deadlines in Freelo so that each member has an overview of what to do on a given day and what priority it has. Templates help us a lot in assigning tasks (for example in the process of a new colleague coming in)."
Pavel Černý Head of IT, Autocentrum BARTH
The marketing department handles its tasks differently – mainly by sharing projects and tagging teammates.
"We use shared projects and insert tasks into them as needed. We tag the people involved, and they can be shared tasks. This is where we see the biggest advantage because we work with a lot of different files on marketing. Here we have them nicely in one place and everyone has easy access to them. In addition, colleagues there make their own To-Do lists."
Miroslav Vraný Head of Marketing, BARTH Autocentre
Freelo helped BARTH Autocentre stay on top of tasks, even during the covid pandemic, when many employees had to work remotely. Today, people are back in the office, but the proven work organization processes still hold up.
So far, BARTH Autocentre has completed 4,000 tasks across 10 projects.
At BARTH, consistent time tracking across departments helps assess the team’s overall effectiveness.
"Thanks to the timesheet over each task, we know what we spend many hours on and we have to think whether it is meaningful or whether it is desirable to focus on something else."
Pavel Černý Head of IT, Autocentrum BARTH
Each task must always have an assigned user and a deadline. This way you can keep a 100% overview of each project.
Every new user has Freelo for 14 days without any limits.
