What is available in HiveSuite today?

Assess the connected workflow as well as individual features. These capabilities are implemented in the current portal; user permissions, settings and integration connections determine how they work in your workspace.

Quotes and invoices

Multi-line documents, interactive quote options, acceptance and deposit invoices where a deposit is configured. HiveAssist can help prepare quote content.

Scheduling and crew

HivePlanner calendar views, recurring jobs and crew assignments connect office planning with field work.

Customer Portal

Customers can view quotes and invoices, approve work, make supported online payments and exchange messages and files.

Documents

Build reusable certificate, RAMS, method-statement and checklist templates. Generate branded PDFs from job data; document availability and sharing depend on the workspace settings.

Inventory

Stock records, purchase orders and configurable invoice-linked stock deductions. This is different from assuming every specialist asset-maintenance workflow is supported.

Finance Ledger

Track income and expenses, attach or scan receipts, view VAT reports and export records. Supported accounting connections include QuickBooks and Xero.

HiveIntel

Ask business-data questions, use the visual report builder, create dashboards and schedule report delivery.

For a closer look, explore interactive quotes, the Customer Portal, HiveIntel and the feature overview.

A document builder is not a guarantee that every trade-specific certificate is pre-approved. Likewise, a ledger and VAT report do not by themselves establish support for payroll, bank feeds or direct tax-return submission. Test any specialist requirement explicitly.

Spend less time chasing routine updates.

HiveSuite can send configured texts as quotes, invoices and jobs move through your workflow. That can reduce manual follow-up work while keeping customer messages organised in conversations.

• Compose a message or use an approved template with supported customer, quote, invoice and job variables.
• Configure quote, invoice and job notifications, reminders and supported staff alerts.
• Use business-hour scheduling and see message delivery status and credit usage.
• Receive replies with a dedicated UK mobile number. A business-name sender is one-way.
• Manage consent records and explicit opt-outs; STOP and START replies apply to dedicated numbers.

Read the SMS release article for sender options, scheduling and credit handling. When comparing suppliers, check replies, regional availability and message charges as well as whether an SMS feature exists.

Compare the total cost for your team.

HiveSuite's published monthly subscription prices include VAT. Admin and crew allowances are different, so compare the roles people need rather than treating every seat as interchangeable.

See current HiveSuite pricing for the plan details. Allow for SMS credits, a dedicated number if needed, payment processing and any external services you connect. An included module does not mean unlimited usage or that external charges disappear.

For Joblogic, compare the selected plan's tax treatment, user count, billing commitment, onboarding, messaging and integration charges. Avoid using a discounted annual headline price as if it were a cancel-anytime monthly price.

Test one complete job in each system.

HiveSuite is worth evaluating if you want customer records, quotes, planning, documents, reporting and SMS in one workspace with GBP subscription pricing. Joblogic should be assessed against the particular strengths and plan requirements shown above.

1. Create an enquiry, prepare a quote and check the customer's approval experience.
2. Schedule the work, assign the right people and test their permissions on the devices they use.
3. Send a customer update, test the reply flow and check the usage cost.
4. Complete the job, issue the required paperwork, invoice and verify the accounting hand-off.

For maintenance contracts, offline operation, live tracking or specialist compliance, ask for a demonstration of your exact scenario. A feature name alone is not enough to establish that the workflow is covered.

Before you decide

Does HiveSuite now support SMS?

Yes. HiveSuite has customer SMS conversations, approved templates, scheduling, credit tracking and configured automations. Sending requires a paid plan, credits and permissions. A paid dedicated UK number enables replies.

Is SMS sending included in the HiveSuite free trial?

No. HiveSuite offers a 30-day trial, but SMS sending requires a paid plan and available credits. A dedicated number for replies is an additional paid option.

Does HiveSuite include a Finance Ledger?

Yes. The Finance Ledger tracks income and expenses, supports receipt attachments and scanning, and provides VAT reports and exports. It should not be confused with a claim that every accounting or tax-filing workflow is supported.

Which platform is better for my business?

Compare the workflows and permissions your team needs, the relevant vendor plan, and the total subscription and usage costs. The right choice depends on those requirements rather than a universal winner score.
