What's included
built for your business
Record roof, consumer unit and meter details with photos and checklists on the survey visit, stored against the address for the install team.
Quote panels, inverters and batteries with options and optional extras. Customers accept online and can pay a deposit straight away.
Add your own job statuses for each stage, such as survey, DNO application, install and commissioning, and see every job on the pipeline board.
Plan installs on HivePlanner, assign the team, warn on clashes and see who is on holiday before you book.
Generate RAMS and method statements for roof work, and electrical certificates such as the Electrical Installation Certificate, from the job.
Attach certificates, warranties and manuals to the job and share them through the Customer Portal.
Solar and battery jobs move through more stages than most trades: survey, design, quote, deposit, network operator paperwork, scaffold, install, commissioning, certification and handover. HiveSuite keeps every stage of every job in one system, so the office, surveyors and installers all see the same picture.
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.
Build your own survey checklist in Certificate Studio, with pass, fail and N/A items, notes and photos per item. The Site Log records each visit with photos (with their location when the phone shares it), checklists and before-and-after pairs, and site notes are stored against the address so the install team sees what the surveyor saw.
HiveSuite does not design systems or model generation. Use your design software and attach the design and performance estimate to the job.
Present several options on one interactive quote, such as panels only or panels with a battery, with optional extras like bird mesh or an EV charger. 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.
Add your own job statuses for each stage, for example "Survey done", "DNO applied", "Scaffold booked", "Installed", "Commissioned" and "Handover sent", and drag jobs between them on the pipeline board. HiveSuite does not submit network operator (G98 or G99) applications or MCS registrations, but you can track them as stages and store the paperwork against the job.
HivePlanner shows installs across the calendar, including multi-day jobs. Assign the team, warn before anyone is double-booked, and with HiveLeave switched on, see who is off before you book them. Jobs waiting for a date wait in the Unscheduled tray.
Generate RAMS and method statements for roof work from the job, and issue electrical certificates such as the Electrical Installation Certificate from HiveSuite's pre-built templates designed around BS 7671. Build your own commissioning and handover templates, and use job types to require certain documents before a job can be completed. Warranties, manuals and certificates can be shared with the customer through the Customer Portal.
Track panels, inverters, batteries and mounting kit with stock levels, low-stock alerts and purchase orders. Materials, expenses, crew time and (with HiveFleet switched on) vehicle costs feed into each job's profit. Set up recurring maintenance visits and recurring invoices for customers on service plans.
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.

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.
