What's included
built for your business
Show a shower or bath option, tiling choices and extras on one interactive quote, accepted online.
Card deposits on acceptance, then further invoices against the same job as the bathroom takes shape.
Multi-day jobs on HivePlanner, with plumbing, tiling and finishing days assigned to the right people.
Stock, low-stock alerts and supplier purchase orders, with materials logged against each job.
Site Log photos and before-and-after pairs for every day, shared with the customer when you choose.
RAMS and method statements from the job, and a handover checklist signed on site.
Bathroom jobs combine several trades, tight sequencing and staged payments. One delay pushes everything back. HiveSuite keeps the quote, the plan, the materials and the payments on one job, so the whole team knows what happens next.
Send a multi-line quote with options, such as a walk-in shower or a bath with shower screen, and optional extras like underfloor heating or a heated towel rail. Customers accept online, with an optional signature and your terms. HiveAssist can draft line items from a description of the job, and cost prices on each line show your margin before you send.
Plan the strip-out, first fix plumbing and electrics, boarding, tiling and second fix as one multi-day job or as linked jobs on HivePlanner. Crew View shows who is where each day and warns before anyone is double-booked. With HiveLeave switched on, you see who is on holiday before you book them.
Track stock with low-stock alerts, and raise purchase orders to suppliers. Materials used, expenses and crew time feed each job's profit, so you can see the margin on every bathroom once it is done.
Take a card deposit when the quote is accepted, then raise further invoices against the same job at each stage and on completion. Every invoice can include a Stripe payment link, and the invoice reminder board shows who still owes you.
Build a handover checklist in Certificate Studio from the standard Job completion certificate: Done or N/A per item, with notes and up to six photos each. The customer signs on site and gets the PDF by email. Product warranties can be uploaded to the document library and shared through the Customer Portal.
Bathroom refits involve strip-out, plumbing and electrics, and commercial or landlord clients often ask for RAMS first. Generate RAMS (risk assessments and method statements) from the job using HiveSuite's templates, pre-filled with the customer and site, or build your own in Certificate Studio. Upload documents you reuse, such as standard method statements, to the document library once and attach them to any job: they show in HiveCrew for your team and can be shared with the customer through the Customer Portal. Job types can require a RAMS or other documents before a job can be completed. See RAMS software.
Fitters use HiveCrew on their phone to see their own jobs, site notes and photos, tap On my way and Arrived, log time, record materials and add photos and notes as they work. They see only what you allow. The native Android app works offline and syncs each change when it reconnects. On iPhone, HiveSuite runs as an installable web app that needs a connection while the native iOS app awaits App Store approval.
HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and every plan includes every feature. Plans start at £34.99 per month, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. See pricing.

"Moving from WhatsApp to HiveSuite was the best move I've made for my locksmith business."
The automation handles my website leads and quotes while I'm out on jobs, and HiveIntel found over £300 in unpaid invoices I'd completely forgotten about.
"I can literally ask 'who hasn't paid me yet' and get the answer in seconds."
Typos? Doesn't matter. If you're running everything from your phone, this just works.
"HiveSuite is by far the easiest management tool I've used for a small business."
Working directly with the developers to shape new features has made a real difference to how I run things.
