Commenting on the Q1 2021 report, Jens Haviken, CEO of Techstep says:

"During the first quarter, we continued to pursue our growth strategy and progress our transformation into a leading Managed Mobility Services (MMS) provider in the Nordics. Our ambitions are rooted in true mobility expertise and capabilities. With ~300 employees and mobility experts based in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, serving more than 550 enterprise customers and 200,000 managed devices across industries in the private and public sector, we have a unique platform for growth.

With market conditions still impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic effects, we did see slower sales cycles, customer onboarding and implementation timelines in the first quarter, and we continue to see this in the second quarter. We signed eight new MMS contracts with a total estimated value of NOK 15 million and ~3,300 managed devices in the first quarter. Our ambition for the full year is 30 MMS contracts, and we have a sharp focus on addressing existing customers MMS needs and onboarding new customers. Looking ahead, we see indications of increasing activity as Covid-19 measures seem to be eased and we are happy to see that our core enterprise customers increasingly adopt our MMS solutions", says Jens Haviken, Techstep CEO.
