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.

ProLine is a communication-first CRM for residential roofers, with quoting, calling, texting, and workflow automations.
