Project, job or work order: you pick the type, HIVE adapts fields, statuses and numbering automatically.
Large undertakings with budget, period and documents: all costs and hours in one place.
Record working time and material right on site, digital and reliable.
Open reports become an invoice with one click, prefilled with working time and material.
For automotive businesses: link a job to a vehicle. The service history writes itself when you bill.
Not every job needs a project with a budget. HIVE separates the two when you create the entry.
HIVE is the Swiss business software for tradespeople, service businesses and workshops. Jobs, projects, work reports and invoicing with Swiss QR code work together in one system, on the desktop and in the web app.
Jobs module in the manual · Goes well with: time tracking
Fixing a socket, doing a service, assembling furniture: a job in HIVE only needs a title, the customer and an optional due date. Budget fields and project planning stay hidden. The statuses speak everyday language (Open, Waiting, Done, Cancelled) and the type filter shows only the open small jobs if you want.
One click on billing turns the open reports into a finished invoice: one line item per work session, the material right next to it, customer and hourly rates prefilled. Billed reports are marked and no longer appear in the next billing run. Double billing is impossible. The invoice comes with a Swiss QR code as always.
All three live in the same module. A project is for larger undertakings and has a budget, period and project address. A job is the lean variant for small work: just a title, customer and due date. A work order is a job linked to a vehicle for automotive businesses. Reports, material and billing work the same for all three types.
Yes. Each type has its own number range per year: projects count with P- (e.g. P-2026-0001), jobs with A- and work orders with WA-. You can tell at a glance what is behind a number, including on the invoice.
Yes. Billing collects all open reports of the entry and opens a prefilled invoice: working time as line items with hourly rates, material included. After saving, the reports are marked as billed and will not be billed again.
In addition to the invoice, HIVE automatically creates an entry in the linked vehicle's service history, with the order number, title, costs and a link to the invoice. The vehicle file stays complete with no extra effort.
Yes. You take material straight from the HIVE catalog or enter it freely, with quantity, unit and unit price. When billing, it goes onto the invoice as a line item together with the working time.
Yes, fully. The HIVE web app at app.inatsolutions.ch offers the same types, reports, material and billing, in the browser, on a tablet or smartphone. Desktop and web work on the same data.
