Scaffolding businesses have a unique workflow - quoting for erection and hire, scheduling crews for erects and dismantles, tracking equipment across sites, managing ongoing hire charges, and generating RAMS before work starts. HiveSuite gives scaffolding companies one platform to manage all of it. Quote per lift or per job, schedule your scaffolders, track what equipment is where, invoice erection costs and recurring hire charges, and get paid by card.
HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed for how UK trade businesses actually work. No per-user pricing, no feature locks - every plan includes everything from day one.
Scaffolding quotes need to cover erection labour, transport, equipment, weekly hire charges, and dismantle. HiveSuite lets you build detailed quotes on your phone or from the office. Break down each element clearly so the customer knows what they are paying for. Send multi-option quotes if the customer is choosing between different scaffold configurations.
HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, drafts quote line items from a short description of the work. Quotes are branded with your business name and logo and can be accepted online with a single click.
Add a HiveSuite enquiry form to your website or Google Business Profile. When a builder or homeowner submits their project dates, site address, and scaffold requirements, HiveSuite creates the customer record and a draft quote automatically - no copying details from calls, emails, or texts. With HiveHire switched on, the tube, fittings, and boards on each hire count against your stock, so you can check availability before you say yes to the next job.
HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that lets you schedule erections, dismantles, and scaffold adaptations across your crew. Assign scaffolders to specific jobs with site addresses, access details, and safety notes. If plans change, drag the job to a new slot and your crew is updated automatically on the HiveCrew app. Conflict detection prevents double-bookings. The Map view in HivePlanner puts the day or week of jobs on a map as pins coloured by status, so you can see which jobs sit close together before you plan the day.
Knowing what equipment is on which site is essential for scaffolding businesses. HiveSuite lets you use inventory and job records to track fittings, boards, tubes, and other equipment. Log what has been sent to each site and what has been returned. This helps you plan capacity and reduce losses.
Scaffolding work requires RAMS and method statements before starting on most commercial sites. HiveSuite includes a compliance document builder with preloaded templates designed around UK standards. Generate RAMS, method statements, checklists, and certificates directly from your jobs. Documents are numbered, track issue and next-check-due dates, and can be shared with customers and site managers through the customer portal.
Scaffolding businesses invoice for erection on completion and then charge ongoing weekly or monthly hire. HiveSuite makes this simple - invoice the erection cost, then set up recurring invoices for the hire period that send automatically each cycle with Stripe payment links. The invoice reminder board tracks every outstanding payment at a glance.
The HiveSuite customer portal gives your customers a branded login where they can view their hire details, approve quotes, pay invoices, and see their full hire history at any time - useful for builders running several sites with you at once.
HiveCrew is the team member app your scaffolders use on site - a native Android app that keeps working offline when there is no signal, or an installable web app on iPhone. They see their assigned jobs, site addresses, safety notes, and one-tap directions. Update job status, log hours, and upload photos. Everything syncs back in real time.
HiveSuite is designed from the ground up for UK trade businesses - GBP pricing that includes VAT, RAMS templates designed around UK standards, and workflows that match how UK scaffolding businesses actually operate. Plans start from just £34.99 per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan includes every feature.

overheard in the hive
"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.
