What is technical data in a GMS?

Technical data refers to the essential information you need to ensure your garage operates efficiently. This includes repair times, part specifications, wiring diagrams, and step-by-step guidance for a wide range of vehicle models, enabling your team to complete jobs faster and with greater confidence.

Without the right data, even simple jobs can take longer than they should. Technicians may have to double-check details, scour through manuals, rely on outdated printouts, or sometimes even resort to guesswork. That’s where integrated technical data can be a game-changer for your garage.

With TechMan, you don’t need to leave the system to look things up. Reliable platforms like Autodata and Haynes Pro E3 are built into your account from day one, giving your entire team instant access to verified repair information. What’s more, you can have all this alongside your TechMan job sheets and booking tools.

Technicians on the shop floor and admin staff at the desk can all see the same clear data, resulting in less confusion, fewer delays, and faster job turnarounds across the board.
