Fencing work means quoting per metre or per panel, coordinating crew across multiple sites, tracking timber and materials, and collecting deposits before you order supplies. HiveSuite gives fencing contractors one platform to manage it all - quote on-site, schedule installation days, track stock, invoice in stages, and get paid by card. Whether you are a sole trader fitting garden fencing or a firm running crews across domestic and commercial projects, HiveSuite keeps your business organised.
HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed for how UK trade businesses actually work. No per-user pricing, no feature locks - every plan includes everything from day one.
Fencing quotes need to be clear - customers want to see the breakdown of panels, posts, concrete, fixings, gate hardware, and labour. HiveSuite lets you build detailed quotes on your phone while still on-site. Quote per metre, per panel, per post, or a fixed price for the whole job. Add line items for old fence removal, waste disposal, and any extras.
HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, drafts quote line items from a short description of the work. Describe the job - "30m close board fence, concrete posts, gravel boards, 1 x side gate" - and get a structured quote with materials and labour that you review, adjust, and send. You can also send multi-option quotes so the customer can choose between different panel types or heights.
Quotes are branded with your business name and logo and can be accepted online with a single click. Once accepted, raise a deposit invoice to secure the booking before you order materials.
Fencing installations often span multiple days, and you may have several projects running at once. HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that lets you plan installation days, assign crew members to specific sites, and see at a glance who is where. If weather delays a job or a customer reschedules, drag it to a new slot and your crew is updated automatically on the HiveCrew app. 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.
Conflict detection warns you before you double-book a crew member. For fencing firms managing multiple jobs, HivePlanner gives you a clear view of capacity and upcoming work.
Fencing contractors go through a lot of materials - panels, posts, gravel boards, concrete, fixings, gate hardware, and stain or treatment. HiveSuite lets you track stock levels, set low-stock alerts, and raise purchase orders for your suppliers. Log materials used against each job so you always know your true costs and can quote accurately.
Most fencing contractors take a deposit when the customer confirms the job - you need to order materials before you can start. HiveSuite makes this simple: set a deposit percentage on the quote and a deposit invoice is created when it is accepted, then the balance invoice follows once the deposit is paid. With Stripe connected, every invoice includes a card payment link.
The invoice reminder board tracks every outstanding payment at a glance. HiveAssist can draft follow-up reminders when payments are overdue.
HiveCrew is the team member app your crew use on site - a native Android app that keeps working offline when there is no signal, or an installable web app on iPhone. They see their assigned jobs, site addresses, access notes, and one-tap directions. Update job status, log hours, and upload photos of completed fencing. Everything syncs back in real time.
Post digging, power tools and work near boundaries and services mean many clients ask for RAMS. 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. Store documents you reuse in the document library, attach them to jobs so your team sees them in HiveCrew, and share them with clients through the Customer Portal. See RAMS software.
HiveSuite is designed from the ground up for UK trade businesses - GBP pricing that includes VAT and workflows that match how UK fencing businesses actually operate. Plans start from just £34.99 per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan includes every feature.

overheard in the hive
"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.
