What's included
built for your business
Recurring visits for each lift on its contract interval.
Reactive jobs on the same board, with alerts to staff when a job reaches a chosen status.
Your own service and inspection templates with checklists, photos and signatures.
Each client site with its own contacts, access notes, documents and history.
Spare parts as stock items with purchase orders and low-stock alerts.
Recurring invoices and client order numbers on every invoice.
Lift maintenance is contract work with zero tolerance for missed visits or slow breakdown response. HiveSuite keeps each site's schedule, callouts, records and invoices in one place, with engineers working from their phones.
Set up recurring maintenance visits for each site on its contract interval, monthly or custom, and assign the engineer. Job types can require a service record before a visit can be completed, so nothing is closed without paperwork.
Book breakdown callouts on HivePlanner alongside planned work. Clients can raise job requests through the Customer Portal, and staff can be alerted in-app, by email and optionally by SMS when a job moves to a chosen status.
HiveSuite does not include a ready-made lift service or LOLER thorough examination template, and its templates are not approved by any inspection body. 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.
Each client can have many locations, each with its own contacts, access notes and warnings, documents and history. Upload RAMS, method statements and other documents to the document library and attach them to jobs.
Track spare parts as stock with low-stock alerts and supplier purchase orders. Record the client's order (PO) number on the job, and set up recurring invoices for maintenance contracts.
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.
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.

"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.
