Embeddable forms

Add a custom enquiry form to any website with a simple code snippet. Works on your main site, Facebook page, or Instagram bio link.

Auto-create records

Every form submission creates a customer record and a draft quote in HiveSuite. No manual data entry, no copy-pasting from emails.

Quote & accept

Review the draft quote, adjust line items with HiveAssist AI, and send. The customer accepts online with a single click through an interactive quote link.

Deposit collection

Collect a deposit when the customer accepts your quote. They pay via Stripe to confirm the work. Stripe is included on all plans.

Customer portal

Customers log in to view quotes, accept them, pay invoices, see job history, access documents, and message your business.

Online booking slotsNew

Visitors pick a date and one of your free times. You set the days, hours, booking length, how many bookings you can take at once, notice and how far ahead people can book. Each booking goes to HivePlanner Requests: approve it and the job is created at that time.

Lead inboxNew

Every form's leads in one place. Mark them New, Contacted, Won or Lost, give them to someone, add notes, search and export. See whether each lead came from Google, Facebook, an advert or another website.

Share anywhere

A direct link, a QR code for flyers and vans, and website code with step-by-step help for Wix, WordPress and Squarespace. Send customers a confirmation email you write, or your own thank-you page.

Enquiry analytics

HiveIntel shows you enquiry volumes, conversion rates, revenue by source, and which leads turn into your most valuable work.

How HiveSuite handles online enquiries

Most trade and mobile service businesses get enquiries through their website - but the process usually means reading an email, copying the customer details into a spreadsheet or notebook, and manually writing up a quote. If you are busy - and you usually are - that email sits unread for hours or days. By the time you respond, the customer has already hired someone who replied faster. According to industry research, the first business to quote wins the job more than 70% of the time.

HiveSuite automates the first steps so you can respond faster without doing more work. You embed a custom form on your website. When a customer fills it in, HiveSuite creates their customer record and drafts a quote. You review, adjust, and send. The customer accepts online and pays a deposit via Stripe. The job goes straight onto your HivePlanner schedule. What used to take an hour of admin in the evening now takes two minutes between jobs.

HiveSuite customer record auto-created from an online enquiry form

Every form submission creates a full customer record with contact details, enquiry notes, and a draft quote ready to review.

No more lost leads

Every enquiry that comes through the form is captured in HiveSuite instantly. No emails buried in your inbox. No scribbled notes on the dashboard. No leads forgotten because you were mid-job when the form was submitted. You can see every open enquiry, every sent quote, and every accepted job in one place. For a busy tradesperson who cannot answer the phone all day, this alone can transform your conversion rate.

Custom enquiry forms for your trade

HiveSuite's embeddable forms are fully customisable. Add fields that match your specific trade and the information you need to quote accurately:

  • Plumbers and heating engineers - boiler make and model, type of work needed, property type
  • Electricians - number of circuits, consumer unit age, type of work
  • Cleaners - number of rooms, property size, frequency required
  • Hire companies - event date, venue address, items needed
  • Mobile groomers - dog breed, size, coat type
  • Pest controllers - type of pest, property type, urgency

The form captures exactly the information you need so you can send an accurate quote without a follow-up phone call.

Automatic customer and quote creation

When a customer submits your enquiry form, HiveSuite automatically creates their customer record and a draft quote. No manual data entry, no copy-pasting from emails. Open the draft quote, review it, adjust line items using HiveAssist (the built-in AI assistant that drafts quote line items from a job description), and send a professional branded quote. The whole process takes a minute or two.

HiveSuite quote pipeline showing enquiries converted to quotes

Track every enquiry through your quote pipeline - from submission to sent to accepted.

Deposit collection via Stripe

For many service businesses, collecting a deposit secures the booking and protects you from no-shows and cancellations. HiveSuite lets you request a deposit percentage on your quotes. When the customer accepts, they pay the deposit via Stripe to confirm the work. Stripe is included on all plans, or use your own payment methods. Invoice the remaining balance on completion. The invoice reminder board tracks deposits received and balances outstanding at a glance.

Customer portal for approvals and payments

Customers can also accept quotes and pay invoices through the customer portal - a branded login where they view their job history, upcoming work, approve quotes, pay invoices, access compliance documents, upload files, and message your business. For regular customers, the portal becomes their go-to place for everything related to your services. It reduces back-and-forth and makes your business look professional. Included on all plans.

Xero and QuickBooks integration

HiveSuite integrates with Xero and QuickBooks so your invoices, payments, and customer records sync automatically. When a deposit is collected or an invoice is paid, the payment is recorded in your accounting software. No double-entry, no manual exports.

Enquiry analytics with HiveIntel

HiveIntel is HiveSuite's built-in reporting and AI analytics tool. Track your enquiry pipeline in plain English:

  • "Where are new customers coming from?" - see which sources bring in work
  • "What is my quote conversion rate?" - see how many enquiries become jobs
  • "Which job types generate the most revenue from online enquiries?" - focus your marketing
  • "Which quotes are still waiting for a reply?" - follow up before they go cold
  • "Show me revenue from website leads this quarter" - measure ROI on your web presence

Understand which leads turn into paying work and where your most valuable customers come from.

common questions

Frequently asked

More in our pricing FAQ.

Can I embed the enquiry form on my own website?

Yes. HiveSuite provides an embeddable form you can add to any website with a simple code snippet. It also works on Facebook pages and Instagram bio links. When a customer fills it in, their details and request are captured in HiveSuite automatically.

What happens when a customer submits the form?

HiveSuite creates a customer record and a draft quote from the submission. You review the quote, adjust line items using HiveAssist AI if needed, and send it to the customer. The whole process takes a minute or two.

Can customers book a time slot online?

Yes. Add a booking slot to any form and visitors pick a date, then one of your free times. Each booking arrives in HivePlanner Requests: approving it creates the job at that time, and declining it frees the time. The form only knows about bookings made on the form, so check each one against your diary when you approve it.

Can I see which adverts my enquiries come from?

Yes. Each lead shows whether it came from Google, Facebook, an advert or another website, and the customer page shows the source of their first enquiry. Forms can also tell your website when someone submits, so you can count enquiries in Google Ads or Meta.

Can I customise the form fields for my trade?

Yes. Add fields that match your specific trade - property type, boiler model, event date, dog breed, number of rooms, or whatever information you need to quote accurately.

Can I collect a deposit when the customer accepts?

Yes. Set a deposit percentage on your quotes. When the customer accepts, they pay the deposit via Stripe (included on all plans) or your chosen method. Invoice the remaining balance on completion.

Does HiveSuite integrate with Xero or QuickBooks?

Yes. HiveSuite integrates with Xero and QuickBooks so your invoices, payments, and customer records sync automatically. No double-entry, no manual exports.
