Electrician software for UK electricians & electrical contractors.

Why UK electricians choose HiveSuite

Whether you are a sole trader handling domestic rewires and consumer unit upgrades, or an electrical contractor managing a team across commercial sites, HiveSuite gives you one place to run your entire electrical business. Create quotes on-site from your phone, schedule jobs across your team, send invoices with instant payment links, and track every job from first call to final sign-off.

HiveSuite is built in the UK, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed around how UK trade businesses actually work. No US-centric workflows, no per-user pricing that punishes you for hiring, and no feature locks - every plan includes everything from day one.

Managing domestic and commercial electrical work

Electricians rarely do just one type of job. On any given week you might handle a domestic rewire in the morning, a consumer unit upgrade after lunch, and spend the rest of the day on a commercial fit-out. HiveSuite lets you manage all of this from one system - domestic callouts, planned installations, periodic inspections, fire alarm testing, EV charger installations, and multi-day commercial contracts.

Every job has its own record with full history, attached documents, photos, and notes. When a customer calls back six months later, you can see exactly what work was done, which parts were used, and what was quoted. No more digging through paper folders or scrolling through WhatsApp messages to find that certificate.

Quoting for electrical installations and upgrades

Getting quotes out quickly is the difference between winning and losing work. With HiveSuite you can build a professional, itemised quote on your phone while still standing in the customer's kitchen. Add line items for materials, labour, and any extras - then send it by email before you have even left the driveway.

HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, can draft quote line items from a short description of the job. Describe the work - "full rewire, 3-bed semi, new consumer unit, 12 circuits" - and get a structured quote with parts and labour that you review, adjust, and send. You can also send multi-option quotes (good, better, best) so the customer chooses the level of work that suits their budget.

Quotes are branded with your business name and logo and can be accepted online by the customer with a single click. Once accepted, convert to an invoice in one tap.

Scheduling emergency callouts and planned installations

Electrical work is unpredictable. A power outage callout can land in the middle of a planned installation. HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that handles both - assign same-day emergency callouts alongside multi-day commercial projects, recurring maintenance visits, and periodic inspection schedules. The Map view in HivePlanner puts the day or week of jobs on a map as pins coloured by status, so you can see which jobs sit close together before you plan the day.

When you assign a job to an electrician, they see it instantly on the HiveCrew mobile app with the full job details, customer address, site notes, and one-tap directions to site. If plans change, drag the job to a new slot and your team is updated automatically. Conflict detection warns you if you are double-booking an engineer.

For electrical contractors managing multiple engineers across different sites, HivePlanner gives you a clear view of who is where, what is coming up, and where you have capacity to take on more work.

EICR, Minor Works, and electrical compliance certificates

Compliance paperwork is a fact of life for electricians. HiveSuite includes a compliance certificate builder with pre-built templates for EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report, 18th Edition BS 7671:2018), Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate, Electrical Installation Certificate, Domestic Visual Condition Report, and PAT Testing Certificate (IET Code of Practice). Issue certificates directly from jobs - customer details, site address, and electrician name are pre-filled automatically.

Documents are automatically numbered, track issue and next-check-due dates, and generate branded PDFs you can share through the customer portal. Store everything against the job and the property - EICRs, Minor Works certs, test results, and photos of completed work. When a customer needs a copy of their certificate two years later, you can find and resend it in seconds. Need a custom certificate template? Build your own with the visual template builder or let HiveAssist generate it from a plain-English description.

Invoicing and getting paid faster as an electrician

Late payments are one of the biggest headaches for electricians and electrical contractors. HiveSuite helps you get paid faster by making invoicing instant and payments frictionless. Convert any accepted quote to an invoice in one click. With Stripe connected, every invoice includes a payment link so the customer can pay by card immediately.

For electricians on maintenance contracts or retainers, set up recurring invoices that go out automatically each month. 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.

Keep your team in the loop

Team members log in to HiveCrew where they see only their own jobs for the day - customer addresses, job notes, and one-tap directions. They update job status, log their hours, capture customer signatures, and upload photos of completed work. Everything syncs back in real time. HiveCrew is available as a native app on Android with offline mode, so jobs, check-ins, photos, notes and certificates keep working with no signal and sync automatically when you reconnect. On iOS it installs as a Progressive Web App with push notifications, and a native iOS app is awaiting App Store approval.

Your electricians see only what is relevant to them - their jobs, their schedule, and their time logs. You keep control of quoting, invoicing, and customer records from the main HiveSuite dashboard.

AI-powered reporting for your electrical business

HiveIntel turns your job data into clear, actionable reports without spreadsheets or manual number-crunching. Ask questions about your business in plain English: "which customers owe me money", "what did I earn last month", "show me my busiest weeks", "revenue by job type this quarter". Each answer opens as a report with a one-line summary, a chart and the figures behind it, which you can save, share, download, pin to a dashboard or have emailed daily, weekly or monthly.

For electrical contractors tracking profitability across domestic and commercial work, HiveIntel makes it easy to see which types of jobs are most profitable, where your repeat business comes from, and how your revenue compares month to month.

Xero and QuickBooks integration

HiveSuite integrates with Xero and QuickBooks so your invoices, payments, and customer records sync automatically. No double-entry, no manual exports - your bookkeeper or accountant always has up-to-date figures.

Built for UK electricians, not adapted from a US product

Many job management platforms are built for the US or Australian market and adapted for the UK as an afterthought. HiveSuite is designed from the ground up for UK contractors - GBP pricing that includes VAT, compliance templates designed around UK standards, and workflows that match how UK electrical businesses actually operate. No converting currencies, no irrelevant tax settings, no features that only make sense in North America.

Plans start from just £34.99 per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan includes every feature - HiveCRM, HivePlanner, HiveIntel, HiveCrew, Customer Portal, and Stripe payments. You choose your plan based on team size, not which features you need.
