"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.
From the first survey to the annual service: quote with options, take a deposit, schedule multi-day installs, keep every certificate and handover document against the property, and bring customers back each year.

What's included
built for your business
Build your own survey and commissioning checklists in Certificate Studio, with pass, fail and N/A items, notes and photos, and fill them in on site.
Send interactive quotes with options, such as different unit sizes or a cylinder upgrade. Customers accept online and can pay a deposit straight away.
Plan installs that run over several days on HivePlanner, assign the team and see clashes before they happen.
An F-Gas Equipment Record template is included, completed from the job and stored against the property.
Attach certificates, commissioning records, warranties and manuals to the job and share them with the customer through the Customer Portal.
Set up recurring service jobs and recurring invoices, so every installed system comes back for its service.
A heat pump job is longer and more document-heavy than a boiler swap. There is a survey and heat loss calculation, a quote with options, a deposit, a multi-day install, commissioning, a pile of handover paperwork and, for many customers, a Boiler Upgrade Scheme application. HiveSuite keeps every step of that job in one place, from the first enquiry to the annual service.
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.
Record what you find on the survey visit: build your own survey checklist in Certificate Studio, with pass, fail and N/A items, notes and photos per item, and conditional questions that only appear when they are needed. Site notes are stored against the address, so the install team sees the same information as the surveyor. The Site Log records each visit with photos (with their location when the phone shares it), checklists and before-and-after pairs.
HiveSuite does not calculate heat loss for you. Use your heat loss software and attach the report to the job.
Heat pump customers often want to compare options. HiveSuite's interactive quotes let you present several options on one quote, such as different unit sizes or an optional cylinder or radiator upgrade. Customers accept online with an optional signature and your terms, and with card payments set up they can pay the deposit as soon as they accept. Line items can carry a cost price, so you see the margin before the quote goes out.
Many installs in England and Wales use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, where the MCS-certified installer applies on the customer's behalf. HiveSuite does not submit grant applications, but you can add your own job statuses (for example "Survey booked", "BUS applied", "Voucher issued", "Install booked", "Commissioned") so the whole team can see where every job is up to on the pipeline board.
HivePlanner shows multi-day installs as bars across the calendar with their real start and end times. Assign the installers, warn before anyone is double-booked, and with HiveLeave switched on, see who is on holiday before you book them. Jobs waiting for a date sit in the Unscheduled tray until you drag them onto the calendar.
HiveSuite includes an F-Gas Equipment Record template among its pre-built compliance templates, and you can build your own commissioning and handover templates. Job types can require certain certificates or documents before a job can be completed, so nothing is missed. MCS certificates, warranty registrations, manuals and commissioning records can be attached to the job and shared with the customer through the Customer Portal.
For site safety, generate RAMS and method statements from the job using HiveSuite's templates, or attach your own from the document library so the install team sees them in HiveCrew. See RAMS software.
Every installed system is a future service visit. Set up recurring service jobs on an annual or custom interval, with recurring invoices to match, and every installation stays on your books.
Track units, cylinders, pipework and fittings with stock levels, low-stock alerts and purchase orders to suppliers. Materials, expenses, crew time and (with HiveFleet switched on) vehicle costs feed into each job's profit, so you know what each install really made.
Installers use HiveCrew on their phone to see their jobs, check in, log time, add photos and notes, record materials and complete certificates. The native Android app works offline and syncs 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.

"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.
