The growing e-shop with a hundred employees switched from sticky papers to Freelo and now coordinates production, marketing and cooperation with external suppliers.
For Freelo asks Karel Dytrych

From a childhood bedroom to large production halls with hundreds of employees and annual revenue of half a billion CZK. This is the story of Dominik Píchal andhis e-shop Grizly.czwhere fans of quality healthy food, nuts, dried fruit and other treats will find something to love. He and his team joined Freelo at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and to this day, he manages several departments there.
”Thanks to Freelo, we have more drive, we don't forget, we work more efficiently and coordinated. The whole team enjoys working with Freelo. I appreciate the app, notifications and the Gmail extension."
Dominik Píchal CEO and Executive Director, Grizly.cz
Back in 2014, Dominik Píchal was packing and shipping one order a week from his parents' nursery and sauna. Eight years later, together with a team of more than 100 people, he runs his own production, packing and e-shop in large halls , expands abroad, picks up 7,500 orders a week and plans to triple the current turnover in the next 3 years. The success of the Olomouc e-shop Grizly.cz was underlined by the Quality Award in the Food and Beverages category in the Heureka ShopRoku 2021 competition.
A big challenge for the Grizly team recently has been the increase in turnover and the transition from a small family business with two people making decisions to a large organisation with a broad management team. This entails the division of responsibilities and tasks within the larger team. In order for all members to work together effectively, they boarded Freelo.
”Before, we had assignments scattered in bits and pieces in shared documents or emails, and we taped coloured papers to our monitors. Freelo helped us to create separate projects, divide them into To-Do sheets and define individual tasks. This allowed us to coordinate activities on a daily basis and communicate operatively and flexibly within the team."
Romana Kohoutová Strategic Projects Development Manager, Grizly.cz
Grizly.cz has successfully completed over 3,000 tasks in 50 projects so far.
The Grizly team uses Freelo to manage both long- and short-term projects across departments. It helps them store new ideas, share trends, and keep track of information that shouldn't get lost over time.
”At Freelo we deal with many different topics. From planning marketing campaigns to new product development, commenting on e-shop modifications, mapping and setting up new work processes, dealing with strategic projects to legal and business agendas. We also use Freelo to communicate with external suppliers and collaborating agencies."
