In their own words
HiveSuite
HiveSuite is software for party hire businesses to manage bookings, equipment availability, deposits, invoices, and delivery and collection schedules. Website enquiry forms can record party details, create customer records, and generate draft quotes. Inventory is tracked against bookings to show item availability and help avoid double bookings. HivePlanner provides a drag-and-drop calendar for scheduling deliveries and collections and assigning jobs. Customers can view booking details, approve quotes, and pay invoices through a branded portal. Stripe is included on every plan, and businesses may use their own payment methods; QuickBooks and Xero are also included and can sync accounting data. HiveCrew is available as an Android app or an installable iOS Progressive Web App with push notifications. HiveIntel answers plain-English questions about business data and presents results as charts, tables, or dashboards. Monthly plans include VAT and start at £34.99/mo for Solo, with 1 admin and 2 crew; higher tiers cost £89.99, £149.99, £249.99, or £499.99 monthly. The maker describes the service as designed for UK service businesses, including party hire companies. HiveSuite says AI submissions may go to third-party providers and advises against sharing unnecessary sensitive personal data.
