Lockdown#3 prompts surge in GMS take-up

20 January 2021  

With Lockdown #3 rolling on, GMS provides are reporting a surge in garages looking to switch to online systems that enable remote access.

Leo Freebairn of TechMan said: “It’s no surprise that more and more are now seeking a web-based alternative. We’ve seen a huge increase in enquiries from garages that require remote access to their GMS, bringing their business in line with the new working lifestyle that has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Leo added: “Having worked so hard to ensure they’re compliant to ever-changing COVID restrictions and dealt with a surge of work on the back of the recent spike in MOT demand, garage owners are continuing to battle through the pandemic, so it makes sense to use all of the tools available to help make life that bit easier.”
