Here we are again. Back in lockdown.
And while we hope that this version will only last a month. We also appreciate this isn’t much reassurance for many businesses who were just starting to claw back the regular custom they had previously lost.

We’ve previously talked about how the building and construction industry is seeing a surge in activity. And at MaxOptra, we’ve very much been at the centre of it. We have been supporting businesses involved in every stage of the building chain. From scaffolders and timber suppliers. To furnishings and bathroom fitters. Each business has its…

The government recently announced their new three tiered system of local COVID Alert Levels in England, sparking much confusion and concern throughout the country. This concern has further increased since the recent move of Manchester and South Yorkshire into Tier 3 – the highest level of alert possible. And therefore the most restrictions faced. For…

At MaxOptra, we are proud to work with 500 customers, boasting roughly 5,000 vehicles. That’s 3 million routes being planned every month, thanks to our system.

Many businesses, and individuals, have been forced into seemingly impossible situations. Many have had to to think on their feet and act quickly to keep their business afloat.

You may have noticed the walls of scaffolding that were quickly erected as lockdown began easing. We certainly did! While the temporary sound of hammering and drilling isn’t the most pleasant noise to wake up to, one positive is that the building and construction company is very much open again. In fact, monthly construction output…
