the highlights
the basics
What is FSM software?
Field Service Management (FSM) software is a platform that helps businesses manage work carried out at customer locations. It connects your office, your field team, and your customers in one system.
At its core, FSM software handles job scheduling, team dispatch, mobile access for engineers in the field, customer communication, and the billing cycle from quote to payment. Without it, most businesses rely on spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and paper invoices - which slow everything down, lead to missed jobs, and delay getting paid.
HiveSuite is FSM software built specifically for UK contractors and mobile service businesses - with UK pricing that includes VAT, and features designed around how British trades businesses actually work day to day.

Common questions about FSM software
What is FSM software?
Field Service Management (FSM) software is a platform that helps businesses manage work carried out at customer locations. It typically covers job scheduling, team dispatch, mobile access for field engineers, customer quoting and invoicing, and payment collection - all connected in a single system. Without it, businesses rely on spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and paper invoices, which slow everything down.
What is the best field service management software in the UK?
HiveSuite is purpose-built for UK contractors and mobile service businesses. It combines job scheduling, a field engineer app, customer management, invoicing, and Stripe payments in one platform - with UK pricing including VAT and plans from £34.99/month. Unlike US or Australian tools that have been adapted for the UK market, HiveSuite was built from the ground up with British trades businesses in mind.
How much does FSM software cost in the UK?
HiveSuite starts at £34.99/month (inc. VAT) for the Solo plan, covering 1 admin/staff and 2 crew seats with every feature included. The most popular Small Team plan is £89.99/month for up to 5 admin/staff and 5 crew seats. All plans include a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
What features should good FSM software have?
Good FSM software should include job scheduling and calendar management, mobile access for field engineers, customer quoting and invoicing, integrated payment collection, real-time job status updates, time tracking, inventory management, and a customer portal. HiveSuite includes all of these across its HiveCRM, HivePlanner, HiveCrew, HiveIntel, HiveHire, HiveFleet and Time Off - and every feature is available on every plan. There is also a native Android app on Google Play with offline mode for sites with no signal.
Is HiveSuite suitable for small field service businesses?
Yes. HiveSuite is designed to scale from sole traders upwards. The Solo plan at £34.99/month suits one-person operations and small teams, with every feature included from day one. There are no locked features - you get the full FSM platform on every plan, not a stripped-down entry tier.
Does FSM software work on mobile phones?
HiveSuite has a native Android app on Google Play with offline mode, so engineers can keep working in plant rooms, basements and rural sites with no signal and everything syncs when they reconnect. HiveCrew is the field team part of the platform - engineers view their jobs, check in, log time, update job status, add photos and notes, flag issues and issue certificates with signatures from their phone. On iPhone it installs as a web app while the native iOS app awaits App Store approval.
Can FSM software handle recurring jobs and maintenance contracts?
Yes. HiveSuite supports recurring jobs daily, weekly, fortnightly, three weekly, monthly, every 6 months, annually or on a custom interval. Recurring invoices are also fully automated, making it straightforward to manage maintenance contracts, service agreements, and regular customers without re-entering details each time.
Do customers need to install anything to use the customer portal?
No. The HiveSuite customer portal is browser-based. Customers receive a login link and access their portal on any device without downloading an app. They can view job history, approve quotes, pay invoices via Stripe, and send messages to your business - all from their browser.
