A Liverpool based technology company is continuing to grow despite the current challenges, with new contracts, staff, and two product launches taking place in the past few weeks.

Gas Tag, which develops safety and compliance software for landlords and housing providers, has won eight new contracts across the UK and is pushing forward with the implementation of its revolutionary software in a number of other housing providers it signed up earlier in the year.

Thanks to its use of cloud-based technology, the team at Gas Tag has been able to work remotely despite the current global challenges and without any impact on the organisation or its client's day-to-day operations. Instead, the tech company has actively looked at how it could use its products to further support the housing sector as it adapts to a new challenging environment. 

One of the initiatives the organisation launched to try to support its housing sector through the current challenges was a new free-to-use tool that enables landlords and housing providers to simply monitor and manage incidents where they have been unable to access a property to carry out repairs due to the resident self-isolating. 

Thanks to its continued growth, Gas Tag has also welcomed two new staff to its team. Rebecca Edwards has joined the company as Project Manager and will support the company with its new product launches. The tech company has also bolstered its development team with Luke Davies joining as Test Lead. 

John Roche, Chief Operating Officer at Gas Tag, said: “Despite facing unprecedented challenges, the last two months have been some of the busiest months for the company. 

“Work in homes has needed to continue to operate to ensure the safety of tenants and so we have worked hard to help our clients and develop products that can adapt to the new processes that many providers are having to implement. 

“Across the business, our teams have responded positively to working remotely and this has allowed us to win new contracts and continue to implement our latest clients to ensure that they can benefit from our products and services as quickly as possible.

“As a scale-up business, the current challenges have come at a crucial phase in our growth and so I am delighted that we have been there for our clients whilst also pushing ahead with our plans.”

Gas Tag has also just launched its third product of the year, Property Services. The software tool can be used by landlords and housing providers to manage all their repairs and maintenance work via an online portal. Contractors complete the work via an app which then sends all of the information back to the portal in real-time.
