built for your business

Job management software built for gate and barrier engineers

Client sites

Clients with many locations, each with its own contacts, access notes, documents and history.

Planned maintenance

Recurring service visits every month, quarter, six months or year.

Service checklists

Your own service checklist with Done or N/A per item, notes and photos, issued from the visit.

Breakdown callouts

Reactive callouts on the same calendar, with job requests from clients through the portal.

Parts

Motors, sensors and control boards as stock items, with purchase orders and low-stock alerts.

Order numbers

Client order (PO) numbers carried from the job onto the invoice.

Why gate and barrier engineers use HiveSuite

Automated gates, barriers and doors need regular servicing, fast repairs and clear records for the client. HiveSuite keeps every site, service visit, callout and invoice together, from the first contract to the hundredth visit.

Contracts across many sites

Each client can have any number of locations, each with its own contacts, access notes and warnings, documents, history and site logs. Add an optional case handler, such as the facilities manager, and choose who receives job messages.

Planned maintenance

Set up recurring service visits monthly, every six months, annually or on a custom interval (for example every three months), with recurring invoices to match. Job types can require a service record before a visit can be completed.

Service records

HiveSuite does not include a ready-made gate or barrier service template, and its templates are not certified against any safety standard. Build your own in Certificate Studio, with checklist items marked Done or N/A, notes, up to six photos per item and signatures, issued from the visit and emailed to the client.

Breakdowns and repairs

Book reactive callouts alongside planned work on HivePlanner. Clients can raise job requests through the Customer Portal, with photos. Quote bigger repairs with interactive quotes accepted online.

Parts and invoicing

Track parts as stock with low-stock alerts and supplier purchase orders, and log parts used on each job. Record the client's order (PO) number on the job so it carries onto the invoice.

Your team on site

Engineers 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.

RAMS and site paperwork

Working on powered gates and barriers on live sites usually needs 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 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.
