Why UK skip hire companies choose HiveSuite
Skip hire is a fast-moving, logistics-heavy business. You are juggling bookings, coordinating deliveries and collections, managing drivers, tracking which skips are where, and chasing payments - often across dozens of active jobs at once. HiveSuite gives skip hire companies one platform to take online enquiries, quote for skip sizes and hire periods, schedule deliveries and collections, manage drivers, and invoice with card payment links. Whether you are a sole trader with a single grab lorry or running a fleet across multiple depots, HiveSuite keeps your operation organised.
HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed for how UK service businesses actually work. No per-user pricing, no feature locks - every plan includes everything from day one.
Quoting for skip sizes and hire periods
Skip hire quotes need to cover skip size, hire duration, delivery charges, and any permit costs. HiveSuite lets you build clear, itemised quotes with separate line items for each element. Send multi-option quotes so customers can choose between a mini skip for a weekend clearout and a builder's skip for a bigger project. HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, drafts quote line items from a short description of the job, speeding up quoting for standard bookings.
Quotes are branded with your business name and logo, and customers accept online with a single click. Collect payment upfront via Stripe to confirm the booking before you schedule the delivery.
Scheduling deliveries and collections
HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that lets you schedule skip deliveries and collections side by side. See your full week at a glance, assign jobs to specific drivers and vehicles, and plan efficient routes to minimise fuel costs and drive time. If a customer extends their hire or a collection needs rescheduling, drag the job to a new slot and your driver is updated automatically. Conflict detection prevents double-bookings.
Managing drivers with HiveCrew
HiveCrew is a lightweight mobile app your drivers add to their home screen - no App Store download needed. Each driver sees their delivery and collection schedule, site addresses, access instructions, and any special notes. Update job status, mark deliveries as complete, and log collection times. Everything syncs back in real time. Your drivers see only their own jobs - not financials, customer data, or business reports.
Customer records and repeat business
Skip hire businesses thrive on repeat customers - builders, landlords, and tradespeople who order skips regularly. HiveSuite stores every customer's full booking history, preferred skip sizes, delivery addresses, and any site-specific notes. When a regular customer calls, you can see their history, duplicate a previous quote, and schedule the delivery in minutes. The customer portal lets clients view their booking history, approve quotes, and pay invoices without calling you.
Upfront payments and invoicing
Every HiveSuite invoice includes a Stripe payment link so customers can pay by card. For skip hire, this means you can collect payment upfront when the booking is confirmed - no more unpaid skips sitting on-site. For account customers, send invoices on a regular cycle and track outstanding payments on the invoice reminder board. HiveAssist can draft follow-up reminders for overdue payments.
Online enquiries from your website
HiveSuite includes embeddable enquiry forms you can add to your website. When a customer fills in the form with their delivery address, skip size, and hire period, HiveSuite creates a customer record and draft quote automatically. No copying details from emails or missing bookings while you are out on deliveries.
Business reporting with HiveIntel
HiveIntel is HiveSuite's built-in reporting and AI analytics tool. Ask questions in plain English - "what was my revenue by skip size last month", "which area generates the most bookings", "how many collections are scheduled this week" - and get instant answers from your own data as charts, tables, or dashboards. Track revenue trends, identify your busiest periods, and make informed decisions about fleet size and pricing.

What our customers say
"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 the AI even found over £300 in forgotten unpaid invoices.

"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.

"I've tried plenty of other management tools - HiveSuite is by far the easiest to use for a small business." Being able to work directly with the developers to shape new features has made a real difference to how I run things day to day.
