Case Study: Setupad (marketing & advertising company) maintains 87% team productivity with DeskTime

How DeskTime helps one team maintain its productivity at 87%

Setupad, a Europe-based marketing and advertising company led by co‑founder and CEO Toms Panders, operates a six-person team split across two offices in different countries. That geographic split made day-to-day management and knowing whether employees were present and working difficult, so Toms looked for time tracking and employee management software and chose DeskTime.

DeskTime’s time-tracking, app and URL monitoring, punch-in/out and reporting features were implemented to unobtrusively verify attendance, compare employee performance, and support onboarding without creating a “big brother” atmosphere. Using DeskTime, Setupad sustained high productivity—typically around 87% and never below 80% since adoption—while improving trust, onboarding visibility, and actionable performance analysis.
