How do multiple hives work?
Each hive is a separate space with its own challenges, members and managers. Groups usually give each business unit or country its own hive, so people see their own questions in their own language, and each unit runs its programme without waiting for head office.
People who belong to more than one hive reach all of them with the same sign-in. Inside a hive, groups sort people by site or department, so one hive can still hold many sites.
How do people sign in?
Microsoft and Google single sign-on are on every plan, so people use the work account they already have, and access ends when that account does. Enterprise adds SAML: you connect your own identity provider, and we set it up with your IT team. On Google Workspace, Enterprise also adds directory sync.
Staff without a work email address are not left out. They sign in with their own email and a one-time code, never a stored password. You decide who may join: by invitation, with an invite link, or anyone with an address from your domains.
Where is the data?
In the EU by default, on Google Cloud in Germany. Hives.co is a Swedish company, and every AI feature, from Ida to the language filter, runs in the EU too. One switch turns AI off for a whole hive if your policy needs it.
On-premise delivery is available on request. Hives.co is fully GDPR compliant, its security is set up in line with the ISO 27001 standard, and the DPA and sub-processor list are part of the contract. Enterprise customers can add their own security and compliance requirements to it.
Who takes part?
Everyone you want, without per-user fees: contributors are unlimited on Enterprise. People send in ideas from a QR code on the wall, a phone or Microsoft Teams, in English, Swedish, German or French, so a plant, a store and a head office can take part in the same programme.
At VINCI Energies, a couple of thousand people across business units in several countries use Hives.co for idea challenges.
What does it cost?
€1,995 a month, billed annually, which is €23,940 a year. SAML, multiple hives and the customer success manager are included, and there are no per-user fees. The pricing page shows the same plan in kronor, pounds and dollars, and registered non-profits pay half.
