"Moving from WhatsApp to HiveSuite was the best move I've made for my locksmith business."

What's included
built for your business
Add items from your price list with a quantity and unit price, so you can quote per m² or per pack.
Show carpet, LVT or laminate options on one interactive quote, plus extras such as underlay or door bars.
Customers can pay a card deposit as soon as they accept the quote online.
Book fits on HivePlanner, see who is free, and keep jobs waiting for a date in the Unscheduled tray.
Track flooring and accessories as stock items, set low-stock alerts and raise purchase orders.
Raise the invoice from the finished job with stock used and any extras ready to add.
Flooring is measured, quoted, ordered and fitted, often with a choice of finishes and a deposit in between. HiveSuite keeps each of those steps on one job, so the measurement on the quote is the one the fitter sees on the day.
Build quotes from items in your price list with a quantity and unit price, so a line can be priced per m² or per pack. Show options for different finishes on one interactive quote, with optional extras like underlay, gripper, door bars or furniture moving. Customers accept online and, with card payments set up, can pay the deposit straight away.
Track flooring, underlay and accessories as stock items with low-stock alerts, or use catalogue mode as a price list if you order for each job. Raise purchase orders to suppliers and receive stock in when it arrives. Fitters record what they take for a job and what they put back.
Book fits on HivePlanner's drag-and-drop calendar and assign the fitter. Jobs waiting for stock or a confirmed date sit in the Unscheduled tray until you drag them onto the calendar. Site notes, such as parking or access, are stored against the address.
Raise the invoice from the finished job, with stock used, costs logged and hours clocked offered as lines to add. Materials, expenses and crew time feed each job's profit. Invoices can carry a Stripe card payment link, and the reminder board shows what is outstanding.
Commercial and site work often needs RAMS before you start, covering things like adhesives, dust and manual handling. 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. Upload documents you reuse, such as standard method statements, to the document library once and attach them to any job: they show in HiveCrew for your team and can be shared with the customer through the Customer Portal. Job types can require a RAMS or other documents before a job can be completed. See RAMS software.
Fitters use HiveCrew on their phone to see their own jobs, site notes and photos, tap On my way and Arrived, log time, record materials and add photos and notes as they work. They see only what you allow. The native Android app works offline and syncs each change when it reconnects. On iPhone, HiveSuite runs as an installable web app that needs a connection while the native iOS app awaits App Store approval.
HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and every plan includes every feature. Plans start at £34.99 per month, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. See pricing.

"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.
