Business software for
UK contractors & trade businesses.

Why UK contractors choose HiveSuite

Whether you are a sole trader running a van-based operation or a growing contracting business with a team of engineers, HiveSuite replaces the spreadsheets, paper job sheets, and disconnected tools that slow you down. One platform for quotes, scheduling, invoicing, payments, field team management, compliance documents, inventory, and AI-powered business reporting.

HiveSuite is built in the UK, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed around how UK contractors actually work. Flat-fee pricing by team size means no per-user charges that punish growth, and every plan includes every feature from day one.

Professional quoting with AI assistance

Create professional branded quotes on your phone while on-site. HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, drafts quote line items from a short description of the work. Describe the job and HiveAssist generates a structured quote with parts, labour, and pricing that you review and adjust. Send multi-option quotes so customers can choose between packages. Quotes are branded with your business name and logo, and customers accept online with a single click.

Job scheduling with HivePlanner

HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that lets you schedule jobs across your team. See everyone's workload at a glance, assign urgent callouts alongside planned work, and manage multi-day projects. Conflict detection prevents double-bookings. For recurring maintenance contracts, HivePlanner handles recurring jobs that auto-generate each cycle with invoices sent automatically.

Field team management with HiveCrew

HiveCrew is a lightweight mobile app your team members add to their home screen - no App Store download needed. Each operative sees their assigned jobs, customer addresses, job notes, and one-tap directions. Update job status, log time, upload photos, and communicate with the office in real time. Manage both employed staff and subcontractors - your field team see only their own jobs, not financials, customer data, or business reports.

Invoicing and card payments

Invoice on job completion with a single click. Every HiveSuite invoice includes a Stripe payment link so customers can pay by card from their phone the same day. For contract customers, set up recurring invoices that send automatically. The invoice reminder board tracks every outstanding payment at a glance so you always know who to chase, and HiveAssist can draft follow-up reminders for you.

Compliance documents for contractors

The built-in compliance document builder generates certificates, RAMS, checklists, and method statements from preloaded UK-standard templates. Open a job, generate the required documents, fill in site-specific details, and issue a numbered PDF. Documents track issue and expiry dates and can be shared with customers through the customer portal. No separate system, no Word templates, no paper filing.

Parts and inventory management

Track materials, van stock, and parts used against each job. Log what was used, see what is running low, and raise purchase orders when stock needs replenishing. This gives you accurate job costing and ensures your team always has the parts they need on the van.

Customer portal

Every customer gets a branded login where they can view their job history, approve quotes, pay invoices, upload files, and message your business. This reduces the time you spend on the phone answering queries and makes your business feel professional and established. Included on all plans.

AI business reports with HiveIntel

HiveIntel lets you ask business questions in plain English - "who owes me money", "what is my revenue this quarter", "which job types are most profitable", "show me team utilisation this month" - and get instant answers from your own data as charts, tables, or dashboards. No spreadsheets, no manual reports.

Plans start from just £34.99 per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan includes every feature.
