Garage Hive is the leading Garage Management Software (GMS) in the UK and Ireland. It is built on a platform called Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For our users, this means periodically the system will receive updates to the platform that are developed by Microsoft, such as improvements in speed, stability, and new features.
We are extremely excited to release details of some of the features coming to Garage Hive as a result of our upgrade to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2020 wave 1.
