HiveSuite is Growing - Here's What's Coming Next

Here's why it matters

At HiveSuite, we've always aimed to simplify quoting and invoicing for small businesses. But we knew something was missing: a better way to manage the work around those quotes and invoices.

That's why we're excited to announce the next major feature in development—designed to help you manage your schedule, stay organised, and keep clients informed, all in one place.

📅 Introducing the HiveSuite Work Scheduler

The Work Scheduler is a flexible, calendar-based feature that allows you to log, track, and manage any type of work—whether it's tied to a quote, an invoice, or simply a standalone task.

It's a free-form system designed to adapt to your workflow. You can:

• Link jobs to existing quotes or invoices
• Create standalone tasks (like site visits, meetings, or admin work)
• Update statuses in real-time (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled, or Pending)
• Automatically notify clients of updates (where an email is on file)

Why this is a Big Deal

This update bridges the gap between quoting a job and sending the final invoice. With the Work Scheduler, you'll be able to:

• Schedule a site visit or task
• Create and send a quote
• Track work status as it progresses
• Raise an invoice once complete
• Keep your client informed at every stage

✉️ Smart Client Notifications

No more chasing clients or forgetting to follow up.

Whenever you create, update, or complete a scheduled task, HiveSuite will automatically send a notification email to your client (if an address is provided). That includes:

• New bookings
• Status updates
• Raised quotes
• Sent invoices

🚧 In Development — But We Want Your Input

This feature is currently in development, and we want your feedback before it goes live.

HiveSuite is built around real business needs—and we know no two companies are the same. If there's something specific you'd like to see added, tell us. Whether it's a unique workflow, a small quality-of-life improvement, or a niche feature—we'll do our best to build it in. No extra cost.

Where We're At Right Now

We're actively working on the new Work Scheduler and wanted to give you an early look at how it's shaping up.

These are early screenshots of the Work Scheduler in action. From managing your calendar to viewing job details at a glance, it's designed to be simple, flexible, and mobile-friendly.

Why HiveSuite is Different

• 🔧 Developed by people who actually use it—not a corporate team in a skyscraper
• 💬 Every feature request is reviewed—no forms into the void
• 💸 Affordable pricing—we're in this for the users, not just profit
• 🤝 Built with our users, not just for them

Let's Build the Future of HiveSuite—Together

This is a major milestone for us. It marks our evolution from a quoting and invoicing tool into a complete job management system. And it's only the beginning.
